Abstract
As a growing major economic global power, China is currently dealing with pressing environmental issues necessitating the adoption of sustainable business practices. This review highlights the importance of sustainability and examines the role of Chinese regulations in driving sustainable business practices. Recognizing the pressing need to address environmental challenges, China has implemented a range of regulations aimed at fostering sustainability. The chapter emphasizes the significance of these regulations within Chinese industries. By analysing a variety of regulations, this review provides valuable insights into the mechanisms through which Chinese companies are incentivized to adopt sustainable practices and provides a deeper understanding of the regulatory frameworks that shape sustainability efforts in China. The findings highlight the importance of integrating sustainability into business operations and demonstrate how Chinese regulators play a central role in encouraging companies to embrace sustainable strategies.
