Firms voluntarily incorporating corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles often assume they can benefit from some kind of competitive advantage. Yet, we know relatively little about the impact of different dimensions of CSR activities on firms' environmental innovation or their impact on performance. This paper distinguishes between the strategic and responsive dimensions of CSR and investigates...
During the last decades, large increase in anthropogenic emissions has led to severe air pollution problems in China, with high concentration of fine particles and widespread haze layers in many areas. The complex sources and high emissions of atmospheric pollutants has exerted great challenge on air quality in China. Compared with regular measurements in ground sites, satellite observations can provide...
This paper reviews and summarizes the research achievements of environmental services in China, including the definition of environment service, current status, problems and policies regarding the environment services. The paper also proposes the direction of future development of environmental services in China.
This paper analyzed the relationship of environment pollution and economic growth by the data of 1980–2009 in China. The results showed that: the relationship of environment pollution and economic growth further verified the EKC hypothesis; from the specific indicators, the relationship of industrial wastewater emissions and per capita GDP displayed the type of N, and the relationship of industrial...
By employing a spatial panel data set of provincial-level data for the years 1992–2008 periods in China, we seek to shed light on this topic by the linkage of the productivity of economic growth and environmental pollution and its impact of spatial dependence. For this purpose we calculate in a step the efficiency and productivity via DEA-Malmquist. In a second step we regress the derived values against...
With the accelerating process of industrialization, China is currently facing a series of resources issues, environment issues and social issues, environment, increasing pressure. If you do not take strong measures, energy conservation and environmental protection objectives may not be realized. In formulating economic and social development planning must follow the economic law and natural law, give...
By analysis of the spatial distribution of heavy metals in surface soil in Fuzhou, we found the soil have been contaminated in different levels, especially for contents of Pb, Zn, Cr in all the sample points far exceeded Background value in soil of Fujian Province. Some pro-sulfur and pro-iron elements have similar properties, so their variation of contents show good correlation. The features of the...
The study on groundwater vulnerability is an effective technical measure for rational development and protection of groundwater resource. In the paper, according to the hydrogeology conditions of the Lincang Basin in Yunnan Province, USEPA's DRASTIC method was applied to evaluate the groundwater vulnerability of this area with the consideration of depth to the water table, Net recharge, aquifer material,...
Transfer the low-grade heat energy to electricity is an effective way to improve the energy utilizing efficiency and a promising way to reduce the environmental pollution. The Organic Rankine Cycle system is the right technology to realize this transfer and then recover such low-grade heat energy. The general situation of the ORC system in China is introduced, followed by the discussion of the latest...
The concentrations of As, Cd, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Hg and Pb in the sediment of Xiyi River were analyzed by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results showed the average concentration of total As, Cd, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu, Hg and Pb in the sediment was higher than the national threshold limit. The values of pollution index and integrated pollution index showed that the pollution level was Cd>;...
As a kind of biomass resources, the corncob is widely applied in the product of furfural. At present, the yield of furfural has consumed half of the corncob product in China each year. The high pollution and high energy consumption are the choke points which restrict the development of furfural. In this paper, the wastewater and fume was investigated in detail. The major problem was the wastewater...
Ambient PM10 was sampled during September 17th, 2007 to September 23th, 2007 and during January 14th, 2008 to January 20th, 2008 at three sites (Tongshan animal hospital, Yellow River village and HuaiTa) in Xuzhou. The samples were analyzed for 16 metal elements (Na, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe, Al, Si, Cu, Mn, Co, Pb, Cr, Ti, V and Ni), three anions, elemental carbon and organic carbon. Chemical mass balance...
In order to ensure the green supply chain management of the steel enterprise in china implemented effectively, a motivation contract was put forward to encourage the members of the supply chain to implement “green” reformation actively. The model based on principal-agent theory and contract theory was built to distinguish members who has really reformed, and analyze the effect of the contract on supply...
The contents and characteristics of ten heavy metals in surface sediments from Yangzonghai Lake in Yunnan, China were analyzed. Ecological risk index presented by Håkanson to assess the potential ecological risk of Yangzonghai Lake was utilized. The results showed that the average concentrations of titanium(Ti), manganese(Mn), zinc(Zn), vanadium(V), chromium(Cr), copper(Cu), nickel(Ni), cobalt(Co),...
Low-carbon development is the inevitable trend of national economic development, and as one of the main pollution sources towards urban environment, it is advisable for port to implement a low-carbon withdrawal mechanism, which has become a realistic choice in sustainable development of port city. The necessity of port low-carbon withdrawal mechanism is firstly explained in the paper, and then four...
The negative effects of generating power through burning coal on China's ecology are expounded. On the basis of the discussion of the development and application of new type power sources, the paper analyzes the urgency and flexibility of optimizing the structure of the sources of electric power supply and puts forward some countermeasures to the problems.
Nowadays, insufficient resources, energy shortage, environmental pollution have become serious obstacles in the process of sustainable economic development, when the process of industrialization is in the rush hour of consumption of resources. Chlor-alkali trade is one of the most important Chemicals Industry, which is characteristic of serious pollution, and noted for resource conversion. The product...
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of environmental satisfaction, job satisfaction, and Big Five personality traits on subjective well-being. Data were collected from white-collar workers across four Chinese cities in 2009. All the research variables were measured with multi-item instruments with good psychometric properties. The research found that environmental satisfaction, job satisfaction,...
With the rapid economic development in China, road traffic grows increasingly, makes some roads weak and the cost used in repairing roads will raise gradually. The economic feasibility of repairing roads using the recycled aggregate concrete with fly ash in whole life cycle was studied. As is shown by the results, a lot of post-production cost of repairing road can be saved and the pollution of the...
Energy tax implementation is critical for the environmental protection and economic sustainable development of China, and the production cost and energy consumption price will accordingly rise as a result of the extra energy tax cost incurring. In this situation, a clean living environment is helped to be established because of the declining social demand for traditional energy and the application...
