内容摘要：

Abstract: We examine whether and how customer-supplier contracts can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along the supply chain. Exploring a change in the U.S. federal government’s procurement process, we find that including contractual representation on suppliers’public disclosure of GHG emissions and targets can subsequently reduce suppliers’emissions. This relation is robust to exploiting a discontinuity in the contractual arrangement among otherwise similar suppliers. We further find that emission reduction is greater when suppliers provide public emission disclosure, when federal agencies have stronger monitoring incentives, and greater bargaining power. Our evidence highlights the important role of public disclosure in facilitating customers’monitoring of suppliers’GHG emissions through a low-burden contractual mechanism.
