Abstract:The research investigates the influence of greenhouse gas emission regulations, specifically on carbon emission trading scheme policy(ETS), on firms’ compliance strategies and decision making. The study combines the perspective from institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and compliance strategies theory, and identifies three compliance strategies(reactive, proactive, strategic). By interviewing three firms from China, the studies show that carbon emission trading scheme policy influences firm decisions in relation to financial and human resources, investment priorities, and operational decisions. The study contributes to environmental regulations aligned with firm performance, offering insights on how to balance the economic performance with sustainability goals.
