IPE Notices

The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) is a non-profit environmental research organization registered and based in Beijing, China. Since its establishment in June 2006, IPE has dedicated itself to collecting, collating and analyzing government and corporate environmental information to build a database of environmental information. IPE's two platforms – the Blue Map website and the Blue Map app – integrate environmental data to serve green procurement, green finance and government environmental policymaking, using cooperation between companies, government, NGOs, research organizations and other stakeholders and leveraging the power of a wide range of enterprises to achieve environmental transformation, promote environmental information disclosure and improve environmental governance mechanisms.

Information disclosure and public participation are fundamental legal mechanisms in China. Enterprises are primarily responsible for disclosing environmental information in accordance with the law. The Blue Map Database provides a platform for various stakeholders, particularly enterprises and other business operators, to publicly disclose ecological and environmental information. Through the Blue Map platform, enterprises can:

  • • Manage eco-environmental risks: Public disclosure drives internal review, enabling timely identification and corrective actions to reduce risks;
  • • Accelerate green and low-carbon transformation: Information disclosure drives improved environmental performance and long-term green development;
  • • Enhance credibility: Accept public oversight and earn stakeholder trust through responsible transparency;
  • • Demonstrate compliance results: Keep stakeholders informed of corrective actions taken and current compliance status;
  • • Strengthen competitiveness: Turn environmental compliance into a transparent competitive advantage in the market;
  • • Meet green procurement requirements: Help brand clients track supplier performance, safeguarding and expanding supply chain opportunities;
  • • Access green investment and financing: Demonstrate corrective measures and compliance status to financial institutions and investors for financing opportunities.

On this basis, IPE established the Green Choice Audit (GCA) mechanism for the removal of records from the Blue Map Database. GCA assesses corrective actions taken or current compliance status against applicable laws and regulations and GCA requirements. Audit results are made public to ensure the credibility of the mechanism through full information disclosure and continued public oversight.

To apply for the removal of a record through GCA, an enterprise is required to publicly disclose the causes of the violations listed in the record, the corrective actions taken, and its current compliance status following remediation, and to commit to continuously monitoring its environmental 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 multi-stakeholder 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.

Procedures:

  • Register a corporate user account on the Blue Map Database;

  • Once logged in, go to "My Green Choice", click on "Information Disclosure";

  • Submit explanations and upload supporting documents based on the instructions in the below guidelines. Documents including but not limited to: reasons for violations, corrective actions taken, current status of environmental compliance, good practices to improve environmental performance;

  • Check publicly disclosed documents or data and continue to track one’s own environmental performance.

Green Choice Audit (GCA)

The GCA Audit The GCA Audit refers to an audit conducted in response to recorded illegal or non-compliant issues, which assesses corrective actions taken or the current compliance status of the entity against applicable laws and regulations and the requirements of the Green Choice Audit.
GCA Audit comprises two alternative forms: an off-site document review (carried out by GCA auditors) or an on-site GCA audit (carried out by qualified third-party audit companies, with fees negotiated directly between the enterprise and the audit company). IPE does not charge any fees for either form of the audit.
Upon completion of the audit, the companies’ records are removed from the record section of the Blue Map Database. The audit report is disclosed on the Blue Map website (except for parts involving commercial secrets) to solicit public opinions and accept social supervision.
For inquiries, please email gsc@ipe.org.cn.

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.
