Abstract: This paper builds up a unified framework including environmental information disclosure (EID), environmental cost and enterprise value, and studies the mechanism based on structural equation model. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) EID is significantly and positively related to corporate value; (2) Environmental cost is significantly negatively correlated with enterprise value, that means there is a trade-off between environmental cost and enterprise value in the short term, but in the long run, the impact is not significant; (3) EID can effectively alleviate the negative correlation between environmental cost and enterprise value, enterprise can use EID tools to curb the adverse impact of increased environmental cost on enterprise value. The above conclusions reflect that EID is an important path to realise the unification of environmental and economic benefits of enterprises.
