Abstract: An extensive body of literature in management has documented the effective influence of a local community on firm practices, especially those that generate negative externalities on the local community (Berrone et al., 2010; Henriques & Sadorsky, 1996; Kassinis & Vafeas, 2006; Kim et al., 2017; Lee & Lounsbury, 2015; York et al., 2018). While this research collectively highlights the vital role of the local community in promoting firm environmental sustainability, its conclusion seems to rest upon a critical assumption that all local communities are equally cohesive, and therefore equally effective in organizing collective pressures and disciplining firms. This assumption, however, contradicts an empirical observation in the US and globally; as people increasingly cross state and country boundaries (Barnard et al., 2019; McGahan, 2020), local communities grow less homogeneous and cohesive (Longhofer et al., 2019). In this paper, I explore community heterogeneity and its implications for environmental sustainability by looking at local immigrant populations.
