Enterprise Environmental Management

Abstract

From the previous discussion, we know that a sustainable development enterprise should be able to constantly provide high-quality services to society and receive economic benefits during the service process and, simultaneously, continuously improve environmental quality during its business activities. Under the existing environment “bottleneck,” the improvement of environmental performance should be especially emphasized in the enterprise’s development; therefore, an environmentally friendly enterprise becomes the key emphasis during this stage of an enterprise’s improvement.

Classroom Discussions and Assignments

14.1.1 Topic Discussion

The requirement for enterprise environmental improvement is discussed in this chapter from the perspective of business management. It includes the quality of the manager, management content, scope, and basic management methods and measures. In recent years, many environmental pollution events have occurred in our country that reflect many disadvantages of an enterprise’s environmental management. Please choose a typical environmental pollution event in our country and, based the course content, discuss the cause of the event in a group. Propose measures or suggestions for improving an enterprise’s environmental management. List the research outline of the relevant topics.

14.1.2 Homework and Presentation in Class

In the previous chapter, we requested students leave the classroom and perform a field survey based on actual situations, to comprehensively apply what they have learned in the classroom to evaluate and solve problems. The task of this lesson is to continuously exercise students’ comprehensive and problem-solving abilities; we hope that students can comprehensively apply what they have learned in the entire course to propose their own innovative thinking for the to-be-solved problems. The task of this lesson is to execute a survey based on a typical environmental pollution event selected in the class discussion and the research outline to develop an approximately 3000-word research report, to be shared in class, using PowerPoint, via the group. The grading scale is shown in Table 14.7.

Pre-graduation Thesis of the Curriculum

As a general education curriculum for undergraduate freshmen, guided by sustainable development and focusing on the circular economy, more than ten course topics have been discussed concerning the “Circular Economy and Sustainable Development Enterprise,” with the goal of guiding students to learn methods to propose problems, methods to perform research, and methods to settle and report the research results, which cultivates academic talent. For the completion of this course, students are required to choose any of the topics discussed during the course, independently determine a title, and write an approximately 3000-word paper. It is requested that the paper comprehensively reflects the overall process of scientific research, integrated application, and innovation ability of the curriculum knowledge. For the paper format, please reference the format requirements of manuscripts in the periodical Environmental Science. The grading scale is shown in Table 14.8. The pre-graduation thesis of the curriculum is an individual paper, accounting for 50% of the total points.
