Companies operating in China, including foreign entities, will be under greater pressure to reduce their carbon footprints across their value chains. Green compliance will also be increasingly important once regulators start to issue stricter standards and implement monitoring mechanisms. However, China’s green transition does open doors to new opportunities for foreign businesses. A push for seeking advanced technologies and tech know-how, more financing options, and regulatory policies leveling the playing field for local and international players is making the growth potential of green industries more attractive than ever. In this issue of China Briefing magazine, we demonstrate the opportunities and risks involved in China’s green and low-carbon transition. We also investigate some of the industries where the government has sought to attract foreign capital and know-how. Finally, we summarize major green compliance requirements and provide tips on meeting these targets and relevant environmental standards. |
