In 2008, China launched the Green Securities Policy to increase sustainability practices among companies listed on Chinese stock markets. An integral component of the policy is the environmental disclosure regulation, which directs publicly traded Chinese companies in 14 highly polluting industries to report required environmental information. This research explores the Green Securities Policy in two ways. First, it determines the compliance level with environmental disclosure requirements from 2008 to 2010 by companies covered under the Green Securities Policy. The findings indicate that about 60% of listed companies report the required environmental information at some level. Second, the research examines the dynamics underlying environmental disclosure by Chinese listed companies through the lens of ecological modernization theory. While China’s ecological modernization has created an increasingly favorable environment for environmental disclosure regulation, the research highlights problems that have impeded the progress of environmental disclosure by listed companies.

“…In contrast, studies outside China have focused on the relationship between the political context and environmental policy actors. The representatives are the study of the characteristics of environmental policy promotion of Chinese politics by approaching environmental issues from the political perspective [27,45], as well as the study of environment-related legal systems and policies [46]. Studies in recent years have started reflecting the trend of approaching environmental issues from the perspective of environmental governance, which explores private participation areas of China's environmental issues.…”

“…37 More generally, China has increasingly engaged in environmental policy-making in recent years, refl ecting a heightened awareness of and willingness to address environmental problems. 38 The 12 th Five-Year Plan on Environmental Protection for 2011-2015 contains some ambitious targets for pollution reduction, including pollution caused by heavy metals. Waste recycling is considered an important area of government policy and investment, as is refl ected in the fact that the government issued a Five-Year Plan on Waste Recycling Technologies.…”

Hazardous Substances in Electronics: The Effects of European Union Risk Regulation on China

This article argues that European Union (EU) risk regulation of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) was both a trigger and formative factor in the development of similar Chinese regulation. The attractiveness and global interdependence of the EU market in EEE impelled a response from Chinese policy-makers. Fostering the domestic industry's global competitiveness was one of the driving factors behind Chinese substance restriction regulation. Additionally, symbolic emulation and growing domestic environmental problems related to waste EEE infl uenced the Chinese policy agenda. Chinese substance restriction rules are not, however, a mere copy of EU regulation. The limited domestic capacity of the Chinese economy, administration, and legal structure to adopt policies similar to those of the EU explains, to a large extent, the emergence and partial persistence of differences between EU and Chinese risk regulation. In the course of the implementation and evaluation of Chinese substance restriction regulation, lessons learned from the EU’s experience increasingly contributed to shaping the policy, leading to growing convergence.
