Our findings prove that the complementary relationship between environmental self-regulation (ESR) and export activities can help improve firms' survival. Meanwhile, the synergy between environmental compliance and product innovation is substituted in enhancing the chance of survival. Moreover, combining environmental self-regulation and export activities could help ESR firms increase their survivability since engagement in the domestic/local environmental standards could significantly increase the chances for local firms to enter the export markets.
