Considering the nature of the industry segment, government ownership, total capital investment, total annual turnover, age of the unit and ratio of permanent employees out of total workers as the determinants and the environmental performance score as the dependent variable, multiple regression models were used to ascertain which of the variables significantly influence environmental proactiveness and which of these do not.
