Most of the large Chinese companies participating in a survey by WWF, the international environmental network, have said they favour higher ethical standards.
WWF polled 182 companies and received 61 responses. Of these, 52 said stronger rules were needed for large businesses on environmental reporting, transparency and monitoring. The survey found 13 claimed to observe tougher environmental standards than were legally required and 10 wanted stricter rules on carbon dioxide emissions, pollution and energy-efficient technology use.
Dennis Pamlin, WWF's global policy adviser, said: 'There is a need to let the world know that there exists leadership among Chinese companies in a time when so much attention is given to the laggards. If we support these leaders, China could emerge as a strong country that can provide solutions for many of not only China's environmental problems, but also the world's.'
