	abstract = {The significance of global environmental issues have been further
	propelled to the forefront, with the current public awareness highlighted
	by the 2007 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
	Al Gore’s global warming statements and the Stern review. As the
	most populous nation on earth with one fifth of humanity, coupled
	with an appetite for raw materials to boost its economic growth,
	China has a prominent role in solving global environmental challenges.
	
	
	Research in corporate environmental reporting (CER) as an environmental
	management strategy to communicate with stakeholders has provided
	a discerning body of knowledge. However, there exists, a glaring
	‘gap’ in the literature in relation to the study of CER in an emerging
	nation such as China. The main purpose of this paper is to explore
	the normative assumptions underpinning CER in China focusing on Shanghai.
	Findings from the data appear to reverberate well with institutional
	theoretical approach within the Chinese cultural norms (informal
	institutional rules) in understanding the embryonic progress of CER
	in China.},
