Implementation of the environmental protection policy in agriculture

The article analyzes a number of legal aspects of the implementation of state policy in the field of environmental protection in agriculture. The subject of the study is the legal norms governing the state policy on environmental protection in agriculture. The purpose of this study is to analyze the negative impact of agricultural activities on the environment and the existing organizational, legal and economic mechanisms for the conservation of natural resources and environmental protection, as well as to formulate conclusions and proposals based on this analysis to improve legal regulation in the field of agricultural development in our country. The relevance of the study is related to the development of an important issue – the implementation of environmental protection reform in Russia at the present time, which is carried out mainly by economic measures aimed at motivating social environmental responsibility and economic stimulation of economic entities to ensure the environmental safety of their activities. The author used formal legal, dialectical, systematic methods, as well as other general scientific methods. The article analyzes the provisions of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On Environmental Protection", as well as the new Strategy for the development of agro-industrial and fisheries complexes for the period up to 2030, where serious emphasis is placed on import substitution as one of the key landmarks of Russia's development. It seems obvious that it is necessary to continue improving legal regulation and strategic planning in the direction under study. As a recommendation for improving legislation, the author proposes an addition to the formulation of one of the six goals of the state agrarian policy formulated in the Federal Law of the Russian Federation "On the Development of Agriculture", which is necessary in order to bring the goal in line with the constitutional norm. The key result of the state policy on environmental protection in agriculture should be the sustainable development of agriculture. The author notes the intensification of work on the implementation of the Russian scientific and technical program for the development of agriculture and promising areas of state policy.

With the rapid development of the logistics industry, the environmental impact and environmental social responsibility of logistics service providers (LSP) are increasingly being considered by government policies and the public. The environmental management status of domestic logistics service providers and their actions need to be further analyzed. This paper takes domestic logistics service providers as the main body of research, based on the text information of a corporate social responsibility report, and uses the framework of Avoid-Shift-Improve (A-S-I) to make a structural analysis of the environmentally sustainable practices of enterprises in order to provide policy suggestions for improving the green development practices of the logistics industry from the micro perspective of enterprises.

Collaborative Governance in an Effort to Strengthen the Corporate Social Responsibility Program in the Health Field in the City of Bandung

This research aims to determine the implementation of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) or Environmental Social Responsibility (TJSL) Program in the health sector in Bandung City, which to date has not gone according to expectations. The research method that the author uses in this research is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out by means of observation, in-depth interviews and documentation studies. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used was Analytical Hierachy Process (AHP), with the aim of measuring the strength, priority and consistency of various criteria and alternatives in each dimension, namely focusing on collaborative research. Governance is determined by the Context, Driver and Collaboration Dynamics system. The results of the research state that the Corporate Social Responsibility Program in the health sector in Bandung City has been running well. To improve CSR programs more effectively, this can be done by prioritizing Collaborative Process factors which are supported by Drivers, which are also influenced by System Contex. Collaborative Dynamics factor, an important aspect to prioritize is increasing Capacity for Joint Action which is supported by Shared Motivation based on Principled Engagement, then Collaboration Dynamics itself is supported by the existence of Drivers who influence it.System Contextsin this case it influences all factors (collaboration dynamics and drivers). Referring to the findings, aspects that need to be emphasized are attention to Resource Conditions and Socio-economic/Cultural Health & Diversity. This can all be realized well with Network Connectedness, Levels of Conflict/Trust, and Political Dynamics/Power Relations that are in harmony. The appropriate model related to Collaborative Governance as an effort to strengthen the Corporate Social Responsibility program in the health sector in Bandung City is to optimize and modify the model adopted from Emerson & Nabatchi (2015b) and Ansell & Gash (2008). The results of this adoption can in turn become an initial benchmark in implementing other CSR programs or other similar programs, both in the city of Bandung and in other regions.

Effects of climate policy uncertainty on green innovation in Chinese enterprises

Climate policy uncertainty is an important factor for green innovation in Chinese enterprises. Drawing on data of officially listed enterprises in China from 2011 to 2020 this paper empirically tests the impact and mechanism of climate policy uncertainty on enterprises green innovation. Climate policy uncertainty has a significant negative impact on enterprises green innovation. Increasing climate policy uncertainty will inhibit enterprises green innovation. The intrinsic mechanism shows that the mediation effects of government green subsidies, environmental social responsibility, and financing constraints are significant. Increasing climate policy uncertainty inhibits green innovation by reducing government green subsidies, constraining enterprises to fulfilling their environmental social responsibility and raising financing constraints. All levels of the government in China should pay close attention to the impact of changes in the United States climate policies on enterprises.

Research on the Impact of Green Credit Policy on Corporate Environmental Social Responsibility

Since the 1970s, my country's industrialization process has continued to advance. However, with the improvement of economic level, the contradiction between my country's economic growth and environmental protection has become increasingly prominent. Green development has become an important principle guiding the high-quality development of my country's economy in the new era. In response to increasingly severe environmental problems, my country promulgated the "Green Credit Guidelines" in 2012, requiring financial institutions to include enterprises' environmental performance into credit review standards, implement differentiated credit interest rates for different enterprises, and raise the threshold for corporate loans. Penal high-interest credit is issued to highly polluting enterprises to limit the blind expansion of pollution-intensive industries. Since debt financing from banks and other financial institutions is the main source of funds for Chinese enterprises, changes in credit principles will inevitably affect the business and development strategies of enterprises. Then, can the green credit policy promote high-polluting enterprises to undertake environmental and social responsibilities? This issue deserves our in-depth study. This article designs a quasi-experimental based on the "Green Credit Guidelines" promulgated in 2012, constructs a difference-in-difference model to study the impact of green credit policies on corporate environmental responsibility levels, and analyzes the transmission mechanism of this impact. At the same time, it analyzes the differentiated impact of the "Green Credit Guidelines" on corporate environmental social responsibility under different enterprise sizes, proportions of institutional investors, regional legal environments, and factor market development levels.

Personal protective equipment waste management behavior of undergraduates in Xi'an City based on extended theory of value-identity-personal norm model

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed people’s lives, with the most prominent change being the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). In this study, we used the extended Value-Identity-Personal (VIP) norm model to empirically analyze the influencing factors of Pro-Environmental Behavior (PEB) among college students in Xi 'an, China, while considering the usage of PPE as an example of PEB. We proposed nine hypothetical questions, and the VIP model was established through the SmartPLS software to test the valid questionnaires of 414 college students. The verification results indicated that all the nine hypotheses were supported statistically, with personal environmental social responsibility and personal norms showing the most significant direct impact on PEB; notably, personal norms were also strongly influenced by environmental personal social responsibility. Biosphere values affected PEB indirectly, through self-identity and individual norms. This study proposes viable countermeasures and suggestions for college students to improve PEB; our findings can serve as a reference for policymakers and stakeholders to ensure the effective waste management of personal safety equipment.

Why Do Employees Show Pro-Environmental Behaviors? A Perspective of Environment Social Responsibility.

This research uses social identity theory to propose that environmental social responsibility perceptions influence green commitment, and then influence pro-environmental behaviors, which are moderated by institutional pressure. Data were collected from 100 employees of technology firms in Taiwan, and the results support all hypotheses. This research chose technology firms as empirical data because Taiwan's technological level is known to the world, which can reduce sampling errors caused by the lack of environmental knowledge. Finally, this research not only advances the literature on sustainability issues in organizational management but also provides a paradigm to help firms implement pro-environmental behaviors to achieve competitive advantage and sustainable development goals.

The Impact of adopting Balanced Score card- Environmental Social Responsibility Indicator in achieving qualified financial projects (Central Bank of Iraq CBI as a case study)

Problem Statement: economic environment differs than before, due to the rapid strategic changes and high level of demand for qualified services and/ or goods, that leads to another sense of competing among businesses, especially in last decades of 20th century, business environment involved in globalization to response and satisfy customers depending on the interaction between society as (external environment) and business’s infrastructure as (internal environment). These changes need a rapid response that means using new systems in planning strategies, organizing, leading and controlling as well to sustain and survive.
 Methodology: it is a descriptive paper that analyze the results through depending on non- experimental design through three (retrospective, longitudinal, and cross- sectional) indicators to examine environmental social responsibility ESP as one of balanced score card perspectives. Results: there is a positive impact of adopting ESRP to achieve qualified financial projects. Conclusion: the interlinkage between external environment (society) and internal one (business infrastructure) is very tight, but the horizon to understand this tight relationship is still fuzzy, due to the dynamic changes of those interlinkages and more efforts have to be done to enrich this phenomenon.

Cover-up or true? does CSR disclosure really contribute to corporate environmental performance?

Do companies disclose their environmental social responsibility to demonstrate their good environmental performance or to cover up their poor environmental performance? This study examines the relationship between the disclosure level of corporate environmental responsibility information and corporate environmental performance based on institutional pressure, using data from Chinese A-share listed companies between 2008 and 2021. The results showed a negative relationship between the two variables, indicating that many firms might disclose environmental information to cover up their poor environmental performance. This phenomenon was more evident among non-state-owned enterprises and the enterprises in the economically underdeveloped regions. This study provides a new theoretical perspective for relevant management institutions to study social responsibility reports and formulate environmental protection policies.

사회적경제기업의 지속가능경영이 기업성과에 미치는 영향

In this study, the effect of sustainable management on corporate performance was analyzed to derive support policies and practical implications for social economy companies in order to increase the sustainability of social enterprises such as (preliminary) social enterprises, (social) cooperatives, village enterprises, self-support enterprises, and social ventures. Unlike existing for-profit companies, as an alternative economy that solves social problems has emerged, research on social and economic companies that pursue social and economic performance is actively being conducted. In addition, as long-term strategies for self-sufficiency and organizational power are needed beyond quantitative growth, sustainable management, which increases market competitiveness while solving social problems, is an important factor in overcoming the limitations of social economy companies. For this study, data were collected from workers in social economy companies and a total of 179 samples were used. As a result of the verification, social responsibility, and environmental responsibility of sustainable management have a significant impact on corporate performance, customer agility has a positive (+) effect on social responsibility and environmental responsibility, and operational agility has a positive (+) effect on economic responsibility and social responsibility. Finally, customer agility and operational agility between sustainable management and corporate performance showed a partial mediating effect. For social and economic enterprises pursuing economic and social values, customer agility and operational agility should be an important factor in improving organizational effectiveness and productivity, creating new businesses, and strengthening individual capabilities through internal members' mission sharing and accurate division of work. Despite these implications, follow-up studies are needed by dividing them into (preliminary) social enterprises, (social) cooperatives, village enterprises, self-support enterprises, and social ventures, as there are characteristics of each type of social economy enterprise.

Nature Connection: Providing a Pathway from Personal to Planetary Health

The vast and growing challenges for human health and all life on Earth require urgent and deep structural changes to the way in which we live. Broken relationships with nature are at the core of both the modern health crisis and the erosion of planetary health. A declining connection to nature has been implicated in the exploitative attitudes that underpin the degradation of both physical and social environments and almost all aspects of personal physical, mental, and spiritual health. It is increasingly clear that the entwined challenges of biodiversity loss, climate change, and human health cannot be addressed without addressing selfishness, greed, apathy, and the value systems that created these global problems. Calls for a spiritual and cultural transformation recognize that “inner” development is important and necessary for meaningful “outward” transitions with a shared purpose for wiser, more sustainable societies. Many of these emotional and spiritual assets appear to be facilitated by a connection to nature, which is also strongly associated with community cohesion, prosocial attitudes, and pro-environmental actions. Restoring the human connection to nature may therefore provide a critical common pathway to promote the physical and spiritual wellbeing of individuals and communities as well as personal and social environmental responsibility. In this paper, we summarize and reflect on the discussions of the Nova Network planetary health community with respect to nature-based solutions as pathways to promote both personal and planetary health with a more mutualistic mindset. These discussions spanned biological to psychological interactions with nature—including the critical relationships with environmental microbes that influence the physical, emotional, and behavioral aspects of health. We consider the ways in which stronger relationships with nature promote “inner assets” to support “outward actions” for personal and planetary health.

Environmental cooperation system, ESG performance and corporate green innovation: Empirical evidence from China.

The Environmental Cooperation System (ECS) is a new exploration of the government's spatial environmental policy to meet the requirements of green and sustainable development, so it is very important to scientifically evaluate its green innovation effect. Based on China's A-share listed companies from 2006 to 2021, from the perspective of corporate ESG performance, we apply the multi-dimensional fixed-effects difference-in-differences (DID) model, and empirically test the impact, mechanism, and heterogeneity of the Environmental Cooperation System of Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou Metropolis (ECS-SDHM) on corporate green innovation. It found that ECS-SDHM can significantly improve corporate green innovation, and the policy effect is more significant in the private enterprise group. Secondly, we use ESG rating score and decomposition indicators to deeply analyze the green innovation effect mechanism of ECS-SDHM from the perspective of ESG performance. The results show that ECS-SDHM can enhance corporate green innovation by significantly improving corporate ESG performance, environmental governance, and social governance. Further research found that both corporate environmental social responsibility and executives' overseas backgrounds can positively moderate the green innovation effect of ECS-SDHM by positively moderating the ESG performance mechanism.

Classification of Regional Healthy Environment and Public Health in China.

Environmental pollution has become a hot topic of concern for the government, academia and the public. The evaluation of environmental health should not only relate to environmental quality and exposure channels but also the level of economic development, social environmental protection responsibility and public awareness. We put forward the concept of the "healthy environment" and introduced 27 environmental indicators to evaluate and classify the healthy environment of 31 provinces and cities in China. Seven common factors were extracted and divided into economic, medical, ecological and humanistic environment factors. Based on the four environmental factors, we classify the healthy environment into five categories-economic leading healthy environment, robust healthy environment, developmental healthy environment, economic and medical disadvantageous healthy environment and completely disadvantageous healthy environment. The population health differences among the five healthy environment categories show that economic environment plays a major role in population health. Public health in regions with sound economic environment is significantly better than that in other areas. Our classification result of healthy environment can provide scientific support for optimizing environmental countermeasures and realizing environmental protection.

Environmental Protection Fee-to-Tax and Corporate Environmental Social Responsibility: A Test Based on Corporate Life Cycle Theory

Corporate environmental social responsibility enhancement is an important way to promote green and low-carbon economic transformation and achieve high-quality development. As an important reform of China’s environmental taxation system, environmental protection fees and taxes play a unique role in environmental governance. However, faced with the increase in the intensity of environmental regulations after the implementation of the environmental protection fee-to-tax, will firms take the initiative to assume environmental social responsibility (ESR)? This paper uses the implementation of China’s Environmental Protection Tax Law in 2018 as a quasi-natural experiment to study the impact of environmental protection fee-to-tax policy on corporate ESR from a life-cycle perspective. We find that, overall, the environmental protection fee-to-tax reform policy significantly increases the likelihood of corporate ESR by 66%. By the life cycle stage, the effect of environmental protection fee-to-tax policy is mainly reflected in maturity and decline stage firms, and the impact on growth stage firms is not obvious. The design of the current environmental protection tax system and the differences in financial status, business strategies, and environmental management levels of firms in different life cycle stages are important factors in this phenomenon. Further sub-sample regressions show that the environmental protection fee-to-tax policy significantly increases the ESR among state-owned, key regulated and higher financing-constrained firms, especially those in the maturity and decline periods. The findings of this paper enrich corporate life cycle theory and provide a reference for decision making to further improve environmental tax policies to stimulate a firm’s green and low-carbon transformation.
