“…An increasing number of Chinese companies have become capable of international operations. Internationally operated companies bear environmental responsibility for their home countries, host countries, and the international community (Godiwalla & Damanpour, 2006). To meet the information needs of stakeholders, such as shareholders, the public, and governments, export‐oriented companies are more inclined to disclose environmental information (Muttakin, Khan, & Azim, 2015).…”

Based on the data of A-share heavily polluting listed companies in China from 2010 to 2017, this study uses content analysis and multiple linear regression to investigate the effect of the amount of corporate environmental information disclosure on financial performance and the moderating effect of corporate internationalization on this relationship. The results confirm the significant negative impact of the amount of environmental information disclosure on financial performance, while corporate internationalization has a positive moderating effect on this relationship. The degree of regional marketization and corporate ownership influences this moderating effect. Thus, a mandatory disclosure mechanism with a legal basis and clear standards is necessary, but should include diverse policies and improved incentive mechanisms in light of the differences in regional development in China. In addition, international organizations should encourage companies to increase their international operations. The robustness test shows that the results are reliable.

“…The theme of the most effective corporate social responsibility practices is the target of intense debate among academics, both abroad (Maon, Lindgreen & Swaen, 2010;Carroll & Shabana, 2010) and in Brazil (Moretti & Campagnário, 2009). Nevertheless, few studies have focused on the specific subject of CSR in international business (Kolk & Tulder, 2010), especially in multinationals (Levis, 2006;Godiwalla et al, 2006;Barin-Cruz, Pedrozo & Martinet, 2007a;Barin-Cruz & Pedrozo, 2009;Husted & Allen, 2009;Barin-Cruz et al, 2010 Most investigations have tried to assess the factors influencing CSR in subsidiaries located in foreign countries (Barin-Cruz & Pedrozo, 2009;Husted & Allen, 2009;Barin-Cruz et al, 2010). Others have examined the value of CSR practices in the process of product/service differentiation (Boehe & Barin-Cruz, 2009), the reduction of risks by means of more efficient operations (Pedersen & Neergaard, 2009) and the strategic alignment of CSR actions with the organizational mission, objectives and strategies (Porter & Kramer, 2006).…”

“…Institutional distance creates barriers between the units of multinational groups (Kostova & Zaheer, 1999;Kostova, Roth & Dacin, 2008). The development stage of each country or region gives rise to a different relation among society, institutions and firms, reflected in different areas related to the question of CSR (Godiwalla et al, 2006). The pressure to develop and adopt CSR practices can vary according to the stage of economic competitiveness, the executive legitimacy of laws and regulatory institutions and the influence of nongovernmental and governmental organizations (Campbell, 2007).…”

The theme of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has not been widely examined in the context of multinationals. This dearth is even greater with respect to subsidiaries, particularly the subject of reverse transfer of practices, that is, the transfer of practices developed in subsidiaries back to the parent company. Because of this theoretical gap, the present article investigates the factors involved on reverse transfer of CSR practices. The research hypotheses test the importance of developing nonlocation-bound capabilities, of integration between subsidiaries and parent and of institutional distance. The data were obtained by a survey of the main foreign subsidiaries in Brazil. All told, we analyzed 150 Brazilian subsidiaries of multinationals, by applying multiple linear regression. The results indicate that the reverse transfer of CSR depends on the development of nonlocation-bound capabilities of the subsidiaries and integration between the parent company and its foreign subsidiaries.

Moreover companies should take seriously their 'obligations to society' and actively fulfil them (Godiwalla -Damanpour, 2006). In general, all CSR definition agree that the concept of CSR in the means of business world should take into consideration financial, environmental and social aspects and that sustainable development lies in the synergy of all three aspects (Hidayati, 2011).…”
