대부분의 국가에서 경제성장을 도모하는 과정에서 환경오염문제와 같은 부작용이 수반되게 되었고, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 경제활동의 주체인 기업으로 하여금 사회적 책임을 수행하도록 요구하고 있다. 환경성과가 우수한 기업들은 ISO 14001 지정을 받거나, 환경마크 획득, 환경친화기업으로 선정되는 등 대외적 신뢰도의 향상 및 이미지 제고를 통해 기업의 경영성과를 증대시킬 수 있는 반면, 환경문제나 환경오염으로 인해 언론공개, 정부규제 및 환경소송에 처해 있는 기업들은 재무성과에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부정적인 효과에 초점을 맞추고 환경규제위반과 재무성과와의 관련성을 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 환경규제에 대한 위반으로 인해 위반기업들의 매출액증가율(GS)과 영업현금흐름(CFO)에서 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 결과로 나타났다. 이는 환경규제위반으로 인해 기업들의 대외적인 신뢰도와 이미지에 부정적인 영향을 미침으로써 매출이 감소하고, 결과적으로 영업활동으로 인한 현금흐름이 좋지 않게 나타난다는 것을 시사해준다.

Our country have achieved high economic growth over a short period of time, but this growth accompanied with many side effects, such as environmental problems. As the companies were required social responsibility for the environmental protection, the environmental regulation was strengthened for the companies.

The samples of this study are used the manufacturing companies listed on the Korean Stock Exchange among the companies which violated the environmental regulations that is enforced by the Ministry of Environment as a means of monitoring on environmental policy from 2004 to 2006. The controlling samples are selected a similar enterprise by size, and these companies are analyzed to have any effects on the financial performance.

According to the analysis, The companies that violates the environmental regulations have statistically significant negative effects on Growth of Sales(GS) and Cash Flow from Operations (CFO). Because the violation of environmental regulation decreased a sales by a negative effects on the image, reputation and reliability of the companies.
