In the first half of this year, two listed companies, Shanxi Three-Dimensional Group and Jiangsu Yancheng Huifeng Company, were jointly punished by the environmental department and the China Securities Regulatory Commission for environmental violations, which triggered the capital market to vote with their feet. The implementation of the joint disciplinary mechanism 4. It is increasingly impossible for companies to think about 'scraping' in environmental protection.
Two listed companies are seriously polluting the environment
In April this year, the media exposed three-dimensional group of Linyi City, Shanxi Province, to smuggle waste slag wastewater, seriously polluting the environment. The Ministry of Eco-Environment quickly took measures to jointly supervise the Shanxi Provincial People's Government and notify the CSRC of environmental violation information of the Three-Dimensional Group.
The investigation found that as a large-scale chemical listed company, the 3D Group handed over 168,000 cubic meters of calcium carbide slag and fly ash to the Xinzhuang Village, Zhaocheng Town, Hongdong County without approval and taking anti-seepage measures. Illegal dumping, the waste water produced directly in the Weihe River.
Not only that, the 3D Group is an environmentally friendly 'Lai Lai', which has been exposed to the pollution problem by the media many times before, but the company has not paid a substantial price.
The behavior of Jiangsu Yancheng Huifeng Co., Ltd., which is also a listed company, is even more shocking. Huifeng Company is a large-scale enterprise in the national pesticide industry. It has been reported by local people since 2013. In March this year, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment formed a special inspector. The group really opened the 'veil' of the serious pollution problem of this company.
The inspector group organized excavation at two sites in the plant area, and dug out a large amount of hazardous waste. The enterprise was to cover up the eyes and ears, evade supervision, embedded concrete layers on the landfill hazardous waste, and then covered with soil and construction waste, and even partially landfilled. There are production workshops or other buildings above the area. The groundwater around the company has been significantly polluted.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment also reported that Huifeng Company illegally transferred and stored hazardous waste, long-term smuggling of high concentrations of toxic and hazardous waste water, and improper operation of pollution control facilities.
Implement joint disciplinary action to allow the market to vote with the feet
After the media reported the environmental violations of the Three-Dimensional Group in Shanxi, the Ministry of Eco-Environment first notified the CSRC, and recommended joint investigation and investigation, and took effective measures based on the Environmental Violation Joint Disciplinary Cooperation Memorandum. The Shanxi Securities Regulatory Bureau rushed to the scene to verify the situation and was suspected of the Shanxi Three-Dimensional Group. Information disclosure violations and violations of the case investigation.
According to the news from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, from 2014 to 2017, Shanxi Three-Dimensional Group was subjected to seven administrative penalties for local environmental protection departments due to serious environmental pollution. The company still had multiple discharges in the daily production and operation. However, in 2014 to In the 2017 semi-annual report and annual report, Shanxi 3D Group did not disclose this information truthfully.
Similarly, after the Ministry of Ecology and Environment notified Jiangsu Huifeng Company of environmental violations, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange issued the “Circular Letter on Jiangsu Huifeng Bio-Agriculture Co., Ltd.”. The CSRC issued a report on the violation of laws and regulations of Jiangsu Huifeng Company. It conducted a case investigation.
The sense of smell of capital is the most sensitive. Following the exposure, it is reported that the stock price of the company has fallen. From April 18 to 21, *ST three-dimensional stock price continued to fall, with a cumulative decline of 19%. Jiangsu Huifeng 4 On the 23rd of the month, the market closed down on Monday, and continued to fall 3.10%, 2.56% for two consecutive days.
Experts pointed out that for large enterprises, especially listed companies, the tens of thousands of yuan issued by law enforcement agencies and the administrative penalties of several hundred thousand yuan are lighter than their environmental governance costs. Therefore, some enterprises will still be accommodating. But feedback from the capital market can make companies really pay for environmental violations.
Play the role of 'three sets of cars', let the environment 'Lao Lai' nowhere to hide
'From the current point of view, multi-sectoral implementation of joint disciplinary action against environmentally illegal enterprises is very effective. ' Professor Ren Xiao of the Law School of Renmin University of China said that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will simultaneously disclose the results of the corporate environmental compliance assessment to banks through memorandum and other mechanisms. Will, insurance companies, etc., even with the taxation, customs, land approval and other departments of the approval and law enforcement inspections, forming a stronger law enforcement environment, forcing enterprises to abide by the law, this is the significance of the joint disciplinary system.
In recent years, the enterprise environmental credit evaluation method, the memorandum of cooperation on joint punishment of the relevant responsible persons of illegal and untrustworthy listed companies, and the cooperation memorandum on joint punishment of untrustworthy production and management units and related personnel in the field of environmental protection, Focus one of the joint disciplinary measures of various departments on the field of environmental protection.
Jiangsu and Hunan provinces began to explore environmental credit evaluation work a few years ago, and established a provincial, municipal, and county evaluation system. In 2017, more than 33,000 companies have been evaluated and the evaluation results are announced.
According to the effect, joint punishment is mainly afterwards, but environmental issues should be based on pre-existing prevention. He proposed to work from green credit, green securities and green insurance:
—— Develop a green credit system to enable enterprises with poor environmental credit to lend money, less loans or repay loans in advance;
—— By establishing a real-time disclosure system for environmental violation information of listed companies, the market will affect the stock price of environmentally-friendly and untrustworthy enterprises;
—— Through the environmental liability insurance system, companies with poor environmental credits are forced to purchase insurance and pay more premiums to get insurance.
'Playing a good 'three sets of cars' role, timely transmitting daily preventive corporate information to relevant departments, can reduce post-discipline punishment after environmental pollution. 'He said. (Xinhua)

What is the actual situation? In this program of CCTV Finance’s “Black Protection” around the big polluters on the evening of April 17, the reporter went to Hongdong County, Linyi, Shanxi for field investigation and evidence collection. As a result, the investigative reporters called 'a big surprise'. Industrial waste is like a 'waterfall'. The artificial pit that dumps the waste residue is tens of meters deep, two football fields are so big, and the place where the villagers live is less than 100 meters. The local people are deeply affected by it. Harmful, dare to speak.
Not only industrial waste slag pollution, the reporter also found a direct route to the industrial wastewater discharge pipeline of Shanxi 'Mother River' - Weihe River, milky white, black industrial wastewater is continuously injected into the Weihe River, the air is also filled with pungent, stench Odor. The local villagers said that this sewage pipe has existed for a long time. It was also repaired by the 3D Group due to corrosion of the pipeline.
Such a blatant destruction of the environment, is it no one to supervise? The reporter was later confirmed by the local environmental protection department. The reporter took the 'criminal evidence' of the three-dimensional group, went to the local regulatory authorities to report, the result was to push away.
CCTV Finance commented that the village cadres took money to watch the nursing home, the Environmental Protection Agency ignored the corporate pollution, the local villagers reported, and even the verbal warning, but also suffered from the flesh and blood, and the reporters had to talk, they must be worried about retaliation. The media has repeatedly exposed, environmental protection special supervision, pollution has become increasingly serious. This scene in Hongdong County has reached an absurd point.
How long can the 3D group travel? The local environmental protection department responded!
After the program was broadcast, the Shanxi Provincial Environmental Protection Department attached great importance to it. The leader of a department led the team and rushed to the scene overnight. The first time to conduct a field investigation, Linyi City was required to comply with the law and strictly investigate and deal with illegal sewage disposal enterprises. To be announced to the public. It is necessary to resolutely crack down on the 'protective umbrella' behind the polluting enterprises, seriously investigate the inaction, abuse the responsibility of dereliction of duty, and transfer the suspected illegal organs to the judicial organs, and never tolerate it. The Shanxi Provincial Environmental Protection Agency also publicly indicated Welcome the news media and social supervision, and the problems and clues reflected by the media, in the end, will not be soft!
According to the information released by the Shanxi Environmental Protection Agency on its official website on the 18th, the criminal investigation task force rushed to Hongdong County in two ways, and all the two village cadres involved in the report were summoned to one of the masses. Ask for understanding.

At present, two village cadres have been administratively detained for 15 days in accordance with the law. The other six parties involved in the report are verifying, and other relevant situations are being further investigated.
Why are environmental pollution cases repeatedly prohibited? Who will pay for the ecological environment?
CCTV Finance commented at the end of the program, 'We hope that the local government can implement the central government's policies, implement the national laws, fulfill its duties, and give the party and the people a satisfactory answer.
In January 2017, the Seventh Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection stressed that it is necessary to increase the rectification of 'Village Ba', and it is not allowed to sway the villages, oppress the people, and erode the grassroots regime.

Investigate and deal with polluting enterprises, do not destroy the umbrella, do not dispose of unqualified cadres, and the harmonious and beautiful new countryside cannot be realized in the village.
There are not many such cases in the country, why are environmental pollution problems repeatedly prohibited? How can we fundamentally solve the three-dimensional pollution incident in Shanxi, what kind of interest relationship exists between polluting enterprises, 'village tyrants', environmental protection supervision departments, ordinary people? The media is intensively concerned, and the environmental protection department has repeatedly inspected, why do the people still complain about it? Who will pay for the environmental pollution?

Lu Zhongmei, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Social and Legal Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said during the two sessions this year that 'the ecological damage compensation system is a new legal liability system, but it is currently in a 'legislation gap' and requires a number of legislation. System advancement. '
She also said that the "Program" as a policy document, although related to the concept of 'ecological damage' 'ecological damage compensation', but this major reform still needs the cooperation of the legislative level.
At the National People's Congress this year, the “Proposal on Promoting the Green and Coordinated Development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei” by the Democratic National Construction Administration also recommended that the “Measures for the Administration of Compulsory Liability Insurance for Environmental Pollution” be revised and implemented as soon as possible to establish environmental pollution in high-risk areas. 4.
