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
"Information Disclosure" refers to the process by which enterprises may disclose information 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 and implement measures to save energy and reduce emissions.
By taking the initiative to disclose environmental information, enterprises can help the government, purchasers, financial institutions and stakeholders such as investors and the public to gain a timely and comprehensive understanding of their performance, and promote diversified participation in ecological and environmental protection work, green procurement, green investment and financing, and green and low-carbon lifestyles. It can also break down information barriers, enhance market fairness and motivate enterprises to continuously improve their environmental performance and accelerate their green and low-carbon transformation.
