In this report, we analyze the environmental information disclosure sections of the annual reports and corporate social responsibility reports of 20 A-share listed companies involved in waste incineration business. Our findings show that 10 companies, including Wangneng Environmental (002034), Tsinghua Environment (000826), and Shanghai Environmental (601200), have significant deficiencies in their environmental information disclosure. Among them, four companies explicitly stated in their 2019 annual reports that "there are no major penalties or corrective actions" or "not applicable," which may constitute false statements. Six companies failed to disclose any environmental violations involving themselves or their subsidiaries or affiliated companies in their 2019 annual reports.

With China's water resources shortages, water pollution and ecological deterioration growing more and more prominent, these problems have become a bottleneck restricting economic and social development. In order to assist listed companies, investors and regulators in identifying water-related risks, IPE developed the Corporate Water Risk Assessment Tool (CWRAT) and analyzed its implementation.

The construction of a green credit system is necessary for banks to effectively prevent environmental responsibility-related credit risks. However, establishing the green credit system in collaboration with the banking industry has traditionally faced major challenges due to limitations in the previous approaches to sharing information. Based on the Blue Map database, IPE has developed an enterprise environmental performance inquiry platform for the banking industry and is actively cooperating with financial institutions to implement it.

In the beginning of 2015, the Securities Times CSR Research Center and IPE launched the publicly-listed A-share company online pollutant data index project, tracking information for 1365 key monitored enterprises of 519 publicly-listed companies.

Most of the companies that responded have already achieved emissions compliance.
