Abstract: This paper explores the spillover effects of environmental regulation on supply chain management in emerging markets. Employing China's low-carbon city pilot policy (LCCP), our difference-in-differences analysis shows that environmental regulation promotes firms to conduct green image management of the supply chain. Mechanism tests indicate that this effect is driven by female executives, directors with environmental backgrounds, and financial support. Moreover, firms’ financial performance is enhanced after the green image management of the supply chain. Our study provides a unique perspective on environmental regulation's spillover effects in emerging markets, with great practical significance for realizing the actual impacts of environmental regulation.
