How to do a good job in environmental protection for enterprises?

I also work in the field of environmental protection within a company. In actual work, one encounters many issues related to environmental protection and corporate interests. After all, there are fees associated with treating and discharging water, as well as fees for emitting waste gases. Even if one meets the specified emission standards, as a member of society, no one wants our beautiful Earth to be polluted. Yet, as an employee of a company, one must take into account the interests of the company. Therefore, this is a task that requires significant effort. It is important to pay attention to environmental protection issues; only when everyone has an awareness of environmental protection can pollution be reduced to the greatest extent possible.

When environmental protection still exists as an industry, making money is the primary goal for those who invest in it; it’s difficult to find a balance between economic value and social value! The economic conditions are much better now, and people’s tolerance for environmental pollution is approaching its limit; thus, environmental protection will gradually receive more attention. ***Employees, investors, and even some environmental workers share a common understanding: environmental protection is necessary to carry out, but it should not be done superficially or to an excessive extent. This is the so-called balance point between the economic value and social value on the upper floor. What was said upstairs is correct; the result of balancing various factors is to neither avoid taking action nor overdo it! I just got through an inspection by the city environmental protection agency today – it’s giving me a headache! I hope the 11th Five-Year Plan will end as soon as possible! I can’t take it anymore; what I really hope for is that **some policy subsidies be introduced, so as to prevent fraud on the part of those in charge!**

As an environmental management officer in a company, if an environmental accident occurs, you are responsible for it and cannot avoid accountability ； And in order to avoid environmental accidents, we have to carry out certain environmental protection measures; yet when these measures affect production, they are suppressed by higher-level managers! And when the work isn’t done thoroughly enough, one will also face criticism from higher-level managers! Environmental protection managers at the corporate grassroots level – it’s so difficult! The current system of corporate environmental supervisors puts environmental management personnel in a dilemma: they must report to the higher-level environmental authorities, but they cannot over-report. Get paid by the company, to **do work?

Those who have worked in enterprises are well aware of the difficulties encountered in China’s environmental protection efforts over the years. But as a technical professional, one wants to do everything in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. However, what the management demands is to get the job done with as little spending as possible, or even without any spending at all! The goal of an enterprise’s environmental protection efforts is for companies with the necessary resources to carry out clean production audits. After such audits, many issues within the company can be identified, including problems related to equipment, manufacturing processes, and products. These audits can also help address environmental concerns; however, this requires investment first, before economic benefits can be seen. Companies that practice clean production well should be able to recoup their costs within four or five years.

The key lies in whether the management attaches importance to this matter; such attention should not remain merely verbal – it should be reflected in concrete actions, with effective pollution control facilities that are actually in use.
