Green Hedge Fund Activists

We examine the environmental impact of hedge fund activism. We find that firms targeted by hedge fund activism reduce toxic chemical emissions. In particular, target firms close heavy polluting plants and investing in green pollution-reduction technologies to reduce toxic emissions. We also find that target firms with the larger decreases in toxic chemical emissions experience higher stock returns after activism
