When environmental problems arise, is it sufficient simply to shut down the enterprises?
Thread Content
Today I happened to come across a news item stating that 57 enterprises were shut down in Shandong due to local environmental issues; the mayor was summoned for discussion, and as part of efforts to preserve green landscapes, some enterprises were closed down. The link to the news is as follows: http://www.cankao*ao*.com/roll/roll10/2015/0702/837379.shtml. The problems arising from environmental protection are partly due to the conscience of enterprises, but more often they result from inadequate supervision by relevant authorities. The current environmental protection facilities represent a mere expense; no matter who is in charge, they are reluctant to invest more money in them, preferring to save wherever possible. There’s a problem now; it’s all blamed on the company’s poor performance. Production has stopped, and who will be responsible for handling the matters that need to be dealt with afterward? Sea friends, what’s your opinion on this?
1. Remedial actions must be taken for the harm caused by inadequate environmental protection efforts. 2. Shut down outdated production processes early and arrange for the employees properly
Yes, the closure of 57 enterprises led directly to 60,000 people losing their jobs, while indirectly affecting another 150,000 people. There was an increase in theft and robbery crimes in the area, and social problems worsened. **A comprehensive consideration is needed; decisions cannot be made simply on the orders of leaders!
You can’t make a sound with just one hand; there must be reasons for everything. It’s true that officials strive hard to attract investment in order to improve their own performance, and this has indeed helped drive economic development in some areas. But what about the environment? If a little attention is paid to this convenient discharge from the very beginning, might it be possible to reduce the occurrence of such situations?
Follow-up work? Is that all? With the economy and markets currently in a downturn, those who invested in stocks are starting to suffer losses. . . It’s a good idea to arrange for the employees properly. I’m asking rudely, but do you work in a corporate or institutional setting?
Now it’s up to you to shut it off if you want to. . . Otherwise, why do so many companies only do what they need to do and try to save costs wherever possible? Otherwise, they might close down one day. What you get in your hands is the real money. . . Large companies focus on long-term development, while it’s hard to say the same for small businesses.
The primary responsibility of the enterprise, I guess. . . No money, how can I do it? Environmental protection costs are also included in the product prices; the estimated prices vary depending on whether such costs are taken into account or not. People consider quality when evaluating prices, but for some products they still prioritize cost advantages. Things priced at 499 are more affordable than those priced at 500 yuan – haven’t you noticed that? :lol
The environmental protection agencies are also in a tough situation: closing down companies that cause heavy pollution leads to criticism, while failing to do so results in accusations of inaction and poor oversight
I guess the question is, can you still have fun together?
In the end, someone has to take responsibility for the past mistakes, and well, that someone is the Environmental Protection Agency: lol
One of them is the environmental remediation fee; it is included in the fines, but it’s not clear where it is used.
