Since its establishment in 2006, IPE has developed and operated the Blue Map Database, which collects public environmental information from official sources including the bureaus of ecological environment, maritime, emergency management, water conservation, housing and construction, industrial development, meteorology, forestry and grass, etc. into a user-friendly database.
The Blue Map Database also provides a platform for any entities, esp. the enterprise to publicly disclose environmental information proactively. These information enables stakeholders to stay informed with the enterprises’ rectification measures and current performance on a timely and comprehensive basis, and facilities the practices of green procurement, green investment and financing, public supervision and decision making.
IPE also constructed an open and transparent mechanism – Green Choice Audit (GCA) – for companies to verify the effectiveness of corrective actions regarding previous violations and remove records from the Blue Map Database. To ensure the credibility of the auditing process, enterprises who wish to remove their records need to publicly demonstrate that they have remediated the violations and commit to continuously track and improve their performance.
Information Disclosure / Public Feedback
"Information Disclosure" refers to the process by which enterprises disclose information via the Blue Map Database regarding the reasons for their violations and any corrective actions they have taken in response. Enterprises can also disclose information regarding how they continue to improve their performance as well as data regarding pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. These information will enable stakeholders to stay informed with the enterprises’ performance on a timely and comprehensive basis.

Green Choice Audit (GCA)
"GCA Audit" refers to an open and transparent mechanism for companies to verify the effectiveness of corrective actions regarding previous violations and remove records from the Blue Map Database. GCA audit is conducted in line with the basic requirements of corporate compliance with laws and regulations and in accordance with the Green Choice Audit criteria, with the audit report displayed on the Blue Map website (except for those parts that involve commercial secrets) for public supervision. GCA audit comprises two forms: off-site document review (carried out by IPE staff) and on-site GCA audit (carried out by qualified third-party audit companies who may negotiate the fees with the enterprise). IPE does not charge fees in any of the auditing process.
Procedures:
-
Register a corporate user account on the Blue Map Database;
-
Once logged in, go to "My Green Choice", click on "GCA Audit";
-
Submit explanations and upload supporting documents regarding reasons for violations and corrective actions based on the instructions in the below guidelines, and publicly demonstrate that they have remediated the violations and commit to continuously track and improve their environmental performance.
-
IPE will write the GCA audit report based on the documents uploaded by the enterprise. If the enterprise does not meet the requirements, or needs to amend or supplement the documents, IPE will notify the enterprise via email, please pay attention to check the registered email address.
Guidance documents:
