Experience over the past decade has shown that green supply chain development helps strengthen corporate environmental management through market mechanisms, promote efficient resource use, and reduce pollution and product carbon footprints. It enhances corporate resilience while contributing positively to ecological protection and climate action. However, intensifying geopolitical competition, increasing fragmentation of the global governance system, and frequent trade frictions—including tendencies toward decoupling and supply chain disruption—have made global supply chain stability harder to maintain, inevitably affecting the advancement of green supply chain initiatives. Against this complex backdrop, IPE upgraded CITI Criteria and conducted a quantitative evaluation of 800 companies across 23 industries. IPE aims to identify the new challenges and issues companies are facing, as well as to discover and promote best practices. The evaluation seeks to build common understanding among stakeholders, create an enabling environment for both Chinese and international companies to green their supply chains.

In September 2025, through its engagement in environmental and climate action, IPE witnessed 218 enterprises disclosing a total of 225 carbon emission data sheets, and 232 enterprises disclosing a total of 251 PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) data sheets. In addition, 158 enterprises passed the GCA audit, verifying the effectiveness of their corrective actions, which led to the removal of 363 supervision records from the Blue Map website.

In August 2025, through its engagement in environmental and climate action, IPE witnessed 474 enterprises disclosing a total of 487 carbon emission data sheets, and 409 enterprises disclosing a total of 424 PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) data sheets. In addition, 156 enterprises passed the GCA audit, verifying the effectiveness of their corrective actions, which led to the removal of 392 supervision records from the Blue Map website.

In July 2025, through its engagement in environmental and climate action, IPE witnessed 684 enterprises disclosing a total of 690 carbon emission data sheets, and 698 enterprises disclosing a total of 708 PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) data sheets. In addition, 162 enterprises passed the GCA audit, verifying the effectiveness of their corrective actions, which led to the removal of 471 supervision records from the Blue Map website.

In July 2025, the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE) and the Green Jiangnan co-released the "Photovoltaic Enterprise Environment and Low-Carbon Evaluation Report 2025". The report revealed that leading enterprises such as LONGi, Jinko Solar, and Tongwei are actively advancing low-carbon transformation. While environmental information disclosure in the photovoltaic industry has improved and the use of green electricity has grown significantly, carbon emissions in the sector continue to rise. The report recommends that leading companies strengthen decarbonization across their industrial chains to make greater contributions to energy transition both in China and globally.

The debate between BYD, Geely Auto, and Great Wall Motors (GWM) has drawn significant attention. The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) conducted an analysis of the three automakers' low-carbon and environmental performance based on publicly available data. IPE recommends that BYD, Geely Auto, and GMW leverage their industry leadership amid fierce market competition to reduce their environmental impact and carbon footprint from operation. IPE also calls for the automaker to drive core suppliers to start with environmental compliance, assess their carbon emissions baseline, set science-based decarbonization targets, and implement energy-saving and emission-reduction measures.

In June 2025, through its engagement in environmental and climate action, IPE witnessed 622 enterprises disclosing a total of 625 carbon emission data sheets, and 642 enterprises disclosing a total of 660 PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) data sheets. In addition, 170 enterprises passed the GCA audit, verifying the effectiveness of their corrective actions, which led to the removal of 485 supervision records from the Blue Map website.
