Technologies for Rainfed Agriculture in Mediterranean Climates: A Review of World Bank Experiences, Volumes 23 à 300World Bank Publications, 1 janv. 1995 - 168 pages This report describes the results of a survey of 1,000 multinational corporations undertaken in 1992 which asked about the importance of environmental issues in investment decisions. The survey shows that most large corporations look systematically at environmental questions when they decide where to invest. Environmental problems appear to have discouraged a number of investments across different industries and the question of liability for past pollution problems at industrial sites was the greatest concern for investors. |
