Title: Corporate Environmentalism in China and Taiwan (Studies on the Chinese Economy (Palgrave (Firm)).)
Description: "China and Taiwan are two of the fastest growing economies of the newly industrialised countries. Much of this growth has come from multinational companies - partly, it has often been assumed, because the region provides a 'pollution haven' which the multinationals would not enjoy elsewhere. Corporate Environmentalism in China and Taiwan tests this hypothesis with detailed empirical research. Focusing on the chemical sector, the author compares the policies and behaviours of three multinational corporations with three large local firms. The research shows that, in fact, the multinationals have outperformed the local companies as far as 'greening' is concerned."--Jacket.
