Experience-Based Green Board Capital: Linking Board of Directors and Firm Environmental Performance

Abstract

Antecedents to environmental performance are an increasingly important area of study for strategic management scholars. Accordingly, we believe that boards of directors have an important impact on environmental performance. While other studies have found relationships between board demographics and environmental performance, we suggest that the relationship is also deeply embedded in the resources and abilities of board members. More specifically, we study board members with green corporate human capital, green regulatory human capital, and green relational capital and test that having certain board capital will have a positive impact on environmental performance. Empirical findings support our theoretical arguments.
