Policy Recommendations to Promote China’s Sustainable Investment Overseas
摘要
Chapter 2 and Chinese companies and financial institutions’ sustainable investment in Chapter 3 and 4 have demonstrated that state-centric CSR has the potential of influencing Chinese investors’ environmental and social behavior overseas. The Chinese government has attempted to endorse, facilitate, and mandate CSR to promote China’s sustainable overseas investment. However, the current state-centric approach has many weaknesses and limitations. Therefore, this chapter offers policy recommendations to enhance the state-centric approach’s effectiveness in regulating Chinese foreign investment. The recommendations address the problems reflected in the SGR case study and China’s green finance cooperation with Africa, as well as the limitations of the general CSR policies analyzed in Chapter 2 . The policy recommendations are as follows: improve the regulatory framework, enhance transparency, strengthen capacity building, improve international cooperation, and establish effective communication with local and international NGOs and media.
