ABSTRACT

With the Chinese government stepping up its efforts to improve the country's worsening ecological situation, China's environmental and renewable energy industries are poised for strong growth. As a result, ‘cleantech’ sectors are emerging as one of the top investment destinations with the amount of international and domestic funds going into such enterprises hitting record levels. Not only mainstream investors are seeking to profit on the Chinese green boom, but traditional socially responsible investors, who had once shunned China for its poor human rights record, as well.
