Abstract
This chapter examines the environmental behavior of foreign firms in China based on the results of a survey conducted in Jiangsu Province during the fall of 2005. It argues that foreign-invested enterprises, particularly those which are foreign-controlled, display better environmental behavior than domestic firms and are often “beyond compliance” in their environmental behavior. The analysis reveals that foreign firms are indistinguishable from domestic enterprises in terms of their environmental behavior and that, from the perspective of firm strategy and practice, there is little evidence for a widespread pollution-haven phenomenon in China.
