“…Under the high‐intensive market‐based environmental regulations, governments can reduce the cost of CSR fulfillment by means of environmental subsidy and other measures, other than macro regulation and intervention. Then, manufacturing SMEs will actively fulfill their CSR (Peng et al, 2021). Therefore, it is crucial for local governments to promote manufacturing SMEs to actively fulfill their CSR by restricting pollutant discharge, levying pollutant charges, granting environmental subsidy, and other means of market incentive‐oriented regulation.…”

Researchers have found that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are also socially responsible, but corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature has been predominantly examined of larger enterprises. Besides, SMEs experience mo re difficulty than larger enterprises in CSR fulfillment. Based on resource‐based theory and green innovation theory, this paper contributes to CSR literature by examining the impact of SMEs’ green innovation on their CSR and the moderating roles of governmental regulations. By analyzing the questionnaire data from 269 manufacturing SMEs, we empirically find that: (1) There is an inverse U‐shaped curve between green innovation and manufacturing SMEs CSR; (2) Command‐and‐control environmental regulations and market‐based environmental regulations both have a moderating effect on the relationship between green innovation and manufacturing SMEs CSR fulfillment. The conclusions can effectively guide the executives of SMEs to fulfill their CSR and guide the formulation of relevant environmental policies for local government.

“…Following existing literature, the environmental performance of individual firms in this paper is represented by the carbon footprint. As researched by previous studies, the corporate environmental performance mainly includes corporate carbon emissions (Chen et al 2017 ; Flammer 2021 ), green patents (Ooba et al 2015 ; Fang et al 2021 ), environmental penalties (Peng et al 2021 ), corporate social responsibility reports and ESG ratings (Sabbaghi 2020 ; Ting 2021 ). Among them, carbon emission is the most concerning factor for a company’s environmental performance, and therefore, it is suggested that the former one could be directly regarded as a proxy of ecological friendliness of individual firms (Fan et al 2013 ; Tang and Zhang 2020 ; Flammer 2021 ).…”

Low-carbon transformation has become a key priority in China, as demonstrated in the implementation of the Carbon Peak, Carbon Neutralization policy, leading to increasing concern of environmental performance at the corporate level. This paper measures the carbon emission of 1,089 Chinese companies through the EIO-LCA-based approach. Then we examine the impacts of international crude oil price fluctuations and the corporate development level on carbon emissions of individual companies. Our results indicate that an increase in international crude oil price uncertainty could inhibit the company’s carbon emission. In parallel, we find that there might exist an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) inverted U-shaped correlation between the company’s development level and its environmental performance. However, some exceptions to corporate carbon performance may emerge, resulting from specific corporate characteristics such as the state-owned nature and whether the firm is listed on the stock exchange. Our results could help companies optimize their internal carbon emission structure during the low-carbon transition process and contribute to effective policy regulations towards the target of carbon reduction.

“…One view was that with the increase in the environmental regulation intensities, the emissions of enterprises would be reduced. With the increase in the environmental regulation intensities and other external pressures, 61.2% of heavily polluting enterprises would be more inclined to adopt relatively conservative environmental behaviors [30]. At the same time, with the strengthening of environmental regulations, carbon emissions could be significantly reduced.…”

Environmental regulations of different intensities may have different impacts on polluting enterprises. The purpose of this article is to analyze how different environmental regulations affect the pollution discharge strategies of papermaking enterprises. By establishing an evolutionary game model between the government environmental regulation intensities and the pollutant emissions from papermaking enterprises, this thesis further solves the model and performs stability analysis and finally uses MATLAB to conduct simulation studies. And the researching results show that papermaking enterprises will take risks to choose the illegal pollutant discharge strategies when the illegal profits are large. Further analysis shows that the increase in the successful probability of the strong environmental regulations does not necessarily force papermaking enterprises to choose to comply with pollution discharge regulations. However, papermaking enterprises may choose to comply with discharge pollution regulations not only by increasing the successful probability of strong environmental regulations but also by increasing the rewards and punishments for papermaking enterprises as well as by increasing the probability of reporting violations of pollutants. Based on the above results, the author proposes several countermeasures, such as establishing a specialized pollution monitoring agency, encouraging third-party supervision, reporting pollution behaviors, and increasing penalties for polluting companies for violations. China is in a critical period of transition from rapid development to high-quality development. It will provide some reliable references for the construction of a green economy and an ecological economy that the characteristics and relationships between the intensity of government environmental regulations and corporate pollution emissions revealed in this article.
