Abstract

Corporate self-regulation is a phenomenon that has been widely disseminated in recent years. In this contribution we will focus on the analysis of two scholarly perspectives that have analyzed this issue: the theory of clubs and the theory of information asymmetries. The clubs provide valuable information about the activities of their members reducing information asymmetries. Successful clubs induce their members to voluntarily undertake actions for environmental improvement with greater commitment than they would do unilaterally, and very often motivate the adoption of environmental self-regulation tools as the international standard ISO 14001 for environmental management or the EMAS Regulation. This article aims to analyze the general and specific criticism that is made to these private self-regulation tools.
