Abstract

Against the backdrop of public awareness of the environmental challenges, this paper examines the potential for collaborative environmental governance in the Russian Federation. We examine regulators and firm perception of, and collaboration with, environmental Non-governmental Organisations (eNGOs) in three Russian regions. Our findings highlight that Russian firms rarely include eNGOs in their environment corporate social responsibility (eCSR) activities because they perceive them as ineffective, invisible, or irrelevant. Regulators do engage with eNGOs, but not as equal partners to form collaborative governance arrangements but utilise them merely as their subordinates and/or assistants.
