>Enterprises should disclose environment information

企業(yè)要依法及時披露環(huán)境信息

China has unveiled a regulation requiring enterprises to disclose their environmental information in a timely manner and in accordance with the law, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment on Wednesday. The disclosure of environmental information is common practice globally in implementing corporate responsibility, said Yan Gang, deputy chief of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning under the ministry.

生態(tài)環(huán)境部環(huán)境規(guī)劃院副院長嚴剛2月23日表示，《企業(yè)環(huán)境信息依法披露管理辦法》近期已正式實施，企業(yè)要依法及時披露環(huán)境信息。嚴剛表示，依法開展環(huán)境信息披露是國際上落實企業(yè)環(huán)境責(zé)任的通行做法。

Enterprises with large-scale emissions of pollutants, high environmental risks, and those discharging toxic and harmful substances, among others, are identified as the subjects of environmental information disclosure, according to Yan. To ensure the public's right to know and forestall environmental and market risks, companies are required to disclose relevant environmental information in a timely manner when their actions may have a significant impact on society, the public and investors.
