AB  - AbstractPurpose – To discover how SRI develops in the Asian context.
Methodology/approach – Extended search of SRI initiatives analyzed with Scandinavian neo-institutional approach on how ideas travel and Buddhist Economy.
Findings – Chinese SRI-initiatives imitate western peers, but the imitation results in partial isomorphism that will probably have a weak influence on Chinese companies in ESG.
Research limitations/implications – A limitation of the study is a lack of information and transparency on Chinese homepages.
Practical implications – Chinese SRI is in an early state, and will need back-up and push to become active if it will be able to influence Chinese companies.
Social implications – It is important to have a critical stance, and not trusting optimistic statements about SRI in China as a mean to integrate ESG activities in Chinese companies.
Originality/value of chapter – One of the first overviews and critical analysis of SRI in China.
