“…On the other hand, the literature and practice show that there are significant differences in the levels of restriction of environmental norms and in the ability to implement, monitor and comply with them in developed and developing countries (Majumdar & Marcus, 2001;Nehrt, 1998) and in emerging economies (Child & Tsai, 2005;Hettige, Hug, Pargal, & Wheeler, 1996).…”

This article analyzed the correlation between strategic praxis related to environmental management in Santa Catarina industrial companies and their strategic practices. This quantitative study is based on the theoretical foundations of environmental management and strategy as practice. Praxis (environmental management) is understood as a cluster of three perspectives: product design, main processes and support system. The data were collected by way of an online questionnaire, with 225 completed and submitted to canonical correlation multivariate analysis using SPSS software, confirming the hypothesis that there is a correlation between companies' praxis (environmental management) and strategic practices. However, the correlation best represents the original variables at the support system level, seeking to value the correlation. Likewise, not all original variables make up the new canonical variable, which suggests that there are new implications.

“…Trans-boundary externalities (e.g., migration and technology spillovers) are one kind of factor. In addition, abundant empirical evidence suggests that, in Asia and Latin America, adjacent regions have significant influence on environmental behaviors of local factories [43][44][45][46].…”

This paper aims to reveal the nexus for sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emission and income, as well as the effects of technical progress on SO 2 emission in China based on environment Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. The spatial panel technique is used in case the coefficient estimates are biased due to the negligence of spatial dependence. With the provincial panel data of China from 2004 to 2014, this is the first research that finds an inverse N-trajectory of the relationship between SO 2 emission and economic growth and confirms the beneficial impacts of technical advancement on SO 2 emission abatement. The empirical results also suggest that the industrial structure change is an important driving force of the SO 2 EKC. In addition, the direct and spillover effects of determinants on sulfur emission are clarified and estimated by a correct approach. Finally, we check the stability of our conclusions on the EKC shape for SO 2 and technical progress effects when controlling for different variables and specifications, through which we find the turning points are sensitive to variables selections.

Influencing Factors of Companies’ Behavior for Mitigation: A Discussion within the Context of Emission Trading Scheme

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

China built pilot carbon emission trading schemes in seven regions and established a national carbon trading market in electricity sector in December 2017. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of 570 companies in 29 regions nationwide and found that companies still need to improve mitigation measures regarding fossil fuel combustion, production technology, output adjustment and environmental management. By establishing regression models, influencing factors of carbon emission reduction are identified. Pilot emission trading policy has a significant impact on company emission reduction behaviors. Companies inside or outside the pilot region respond differently to the influencing factors. Companies inside emphasize more on energy price and mitigation potential, while enterprises outside pay more attention to investment and familiarity with technology and policy.
