In recent years, environmental regulations have become more complex and uncertain. What kind of response should chemical companies make to these environmental regulations? There are many chemical companies in the world, and they are likely to have different ways of responding to regulations. In such a case, how should corporate behavior be carried out? The purpose of this study is to examine how corporate behavior takes place when there are multiple players. As a result of a case study of chemical companies belonging to an industry association, it was found that they were divided into two groups seeking the same direction, and that each group acted to gain social legitimacy. One group attempted to gain legitimacy by making sacrifices, such as discontinuing the production of their main product. These series of actions involve the existence of institutional entrepreneurs, and I would like to discuss their role in these actions. In this paper, I have used the case of chemical companies' responses to environmental regulations, but I believe that it will provide useful suggestions for corporate behavior in other industries as well.
