Abstract

The increasingly intense environmental problems have given greater weight to the role of small- and medium-sized enterprises in environmental management. Respecting the limited resources and lack of technologies of SMEs, economic development is supposed to coexist with conservation through sustainable use. This paper, using Yongjia County as its study case, describes the present situation regarding SMEs, motives, and ways of participation in environmental management. The study showed that several reasons push SMEs to take part in environmental management, such as avoiding penalties, enjoying tax-related benefits, and obtaining financial support for the activity. Self-pollution management, co-governance coordination, and technological innovation emerged as effective approaches that would lead SMEs to better environmental performance. Some suggestions for policies on green technology research and development, industrial upgrading, and regional cooperation among the SMEs are put forward for improving the roles of SMEs in environmental management.
