The Evaluation of Enterprise Carbon Trading Audit Based on DSR Model and GHG Accounting

INTRODUCTION: With the continuous development of social economy, environmental issues are becoming increasingly apparent. How to maintain the coordination of environmental and economic development is an urgent issue to be addressed. This study takes carbon trading as an example, starting with enterprise CAE, proposes a CAE index system that combines DSR model and GHG accounting, and hopes to urge enterprises to reduce carbon emissions during development.OBJECTIVES: Carbon audit is an important way to evaluate the low carbon development of enterprises. To effectively realize the evaluation of enterprise carbon audit, the study takes cement enterprises for instance and proposes a carbon audit evaluation (CAE) standard.METHODS: Firstly, it adopts the greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting method to monitor the carbon release of cement companies, and secondly, the main factors are analyzed based on the data obtained from the monitoring, and then the driving-force state-response (DSR) index system is constructed to realize the evaluation of carbon trading audit of cement enterprises.RESULTS: The results show that the accuracy of the adopted carbon emission monitoring method is 99.3%, which is significantly higher than the other methods, and the error is only 0.1 after stabilization. Finally, after the CAE, we can see that the CAE method proposed by the study is reasonable and feasible with the actual situation with a fit of 0.954, which means that the evaluation method proposed by the study is reasonably practicable.CONCLUSION: It is necessary to combine the DSR model with the GHG accounting approach to conduct the enterprise CAE, which can improve the enterprise CAE system and is of great value to the improvement of the efficiency of the enterprise CAE.

Proposed Business Strategic Improvement to Accelerate Waste Management Business Unit at Building Materials Company (Case Study at Cement Inc)

The rising environmental concerns and regulatory measures in Indonesia have created new opportunities for the expansion of waste management services in the cement sector, specifically by utilizing thermal technology. The Waste Management Unit (WMU) of Cement Company presents substantial strategic opportunities for expansion and development. After undergoing a merger and acquisition, Cement Inc experienced a transformation and has now become a state-owned firm. This change offers WMU Cement Inc further opportunities for growth and expansion. The objective of this research is to identify the most effective strategy for the Waste Management Business Unit within the Cement Company using the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The study explores three fundamental research question: (1) What is the current situation for WMU Cement Inc in terms of market, money, customer, and organization? (2) What are the obstacles inside the organization and in the external environment that hinder the acceleration of waste management services in Indonesia, resulting in limited value creation for the company? (3) What are the suggested recommendations and strategic choices for the company to enhance its value absorption? The study used the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) framework to perform a comprehensive evaluation and evaluate three strategic options for the waste management division: retaining it within the cement firm, expanding it to the cement group as a whole, or establishing it as an independent entity. The results of this study indicate that the most favorable choice (40.6%) is to establish WMU as a separate entity, which offers greater advantages compared to fully integrating with the parent company (30.9%) and keeping the current business operations (28.4%). By creating WMU as an independent organization, it may effectively avoid market and pricing cannibalization amongst its subsidiaries and optimize operations. WMU Cement Inc possesses the capacity to assume a leading role in waste management services by offering waste solutions to all SIG subsidiary plants and other cement makers, including ITP. The benefits of this method include autonomous operations, targeted management, rapid decision-making, and varied income streams achieved via the cultivation of specialized skills and expertise in waste management.

Tools and Frameworks for Sustainable Business Model Innovation for German Steel, Cement, and Chemical Industries

In the decarbonization of the steel, cement, and chemical industries in Germany, green hydrogen is expected to play a crucial role. The utilization of green hydrogen in the production processes of said industries requires organizations to modify their business model, requiring sustainable business model innovation (SBMI). Numerous tools and frameworks that support organizations in the process of SBMI have been proposed in the literature in recent years. However, the applicability of these tools and frameworks for steel, cement, and chemical companies that intend to utilize green hydrogen to produce their goods remains unexplored. This paper aims to assess the suitability of SBMI tools and frameworks for steel, cement, and chemical companies planning to use green hydrogen in their production. It conducts a systematic literature review on SBMI tools and frameworks, reviews current green hydrogen projects in these industries, and evaluates the identified tools and frameworks using an evaluation matrix. Based on the evaluation, the Cambridge Business Model Innovation Process (CBMIP) was identified as the most suitable SBMI framework.

Conflict Resolution as A Game: The Government's Policy Agenda has Been Neglected Through Negotiation and Compensation

Purpose: This research examines how official actors play a role in resolving conflicts between the farming community and the cement company. Method: This qualitative research focuses on farmers in Puger District affected by PT Imasco Asiatic's irrigation canal closure, as well as community leaders. In-depth interviews will be conducted with participants, and data will be confirmed using GIS for accuracy. GIS is used to verify the accuracy of the information. Result and Discussion: Commodity factories in Indonesia have refused to implement the government's policy agenda and instead negotiated with the Water User Farmers Association (HIPPA) and provided compensation. Both official and unofficial parties, including community and religious leaders, tried to resolve the conflict, but HIPPA, without deliberation, agreed to accept compensation. The change in attitude of the Puger Kulon farming community made the government's struggle meaningful. The role of actors in the policy process is complex, with each actor competing to open policy windows and influence the agenda-setting stage. Implication of the Research: This research contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into conflict resolution between government companies and citizens. On the other hand, highlighting the role of actors in the policy process is complex, with each actor competing to open policy windows and influence the agenda-setting stage. Originality/Value: Official actors (government) dominate in policy making. However, the government has no coercive power since there is a non-official group (outside government) that has negotiated and changed the behavior of farmers.

Environmental and social accountability in emerging economies: strategic pressures from and responses to vulnerable local communities

ABSTRACT Drawing on Oliver’s typology of strategic responses (1991), this study demonstrates the strategic pressures that vulnerable local communities in Nigeria have exerted on cement companies and the multiple strategies that these companies have devised to discharge their environmental and social accountability (ESA). The data for this study were obtained through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. By exploring the role of local communities in Nigeria, our findings highlight the changing context of ESA in emerging economies in which local communities, often referred to as weak and passive stakeholders, have forced multinational companies to respond to their commitment to ESA. However, the extent to which local communities’ voices can alter companies’ profit maximisation that compromises people’s welfare and the environment has caused concern. The power and influence wielded by companies, which has enabled them to devise a multitude of strategic responses, has subtly dominated local voices and actions, confining ESA practices largely to the content of their annual statements. This raises concerns about current mechanisms for discharging ESA to promote sustainable development and attain sustainable development goals (SDGs) in emerging economies. In investigating the aforementioned, the paper also addresses the call made by prior work delineating the nexus between corporations and local communities in shaping ESA in the unique contexts of emerging economies.

Does air pollution motivate organisations to adopt environmental management accounting practices? Evidence from South Africa

This paper identifies the extent of air pollution in motivating companies to implement environmental management accounting (EMA) practices in 67 mining and cement companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), South Africa, from 2012 to 2021. Pooled ordinary least squares regression is applied to analyse the data. EMA is proxied by environmental training, environmental audits and energy efficiency, while air pollution is measured based on the air quality index (AQI). The results show that air pollution is essential for companies to adopt EMA practices. This means that when air quality declines within a company’s locality, a company proactively adopts EMA practices. This suggests that air pollution is a key basis of companies' adoption of EMA, as predicted by the legitimacy theory. The study includes three control variables: size, return on assets (ROA) and number of years listed on JSE. Two control variables, namely Size and ROA, portray a positive and significant effect on adopting EMA from air pollution. This portrays that a financially stable company tends to submit to air pollution and use EMA to counter the pollution. In contrast, as the number of years increases for companies listed on JSE, EMA will likely be adopted less to reduce air pollution.
