Precise Supervision of Enterprise Environmental Protection Behavior Based on Boolean Matrix Factorization under Low...

Area of Science:

• Environmental Science and Policy
• Environmental Economics
• Data Science and Analytics

Background:

• Effective supervision of corporate environmental protection behavior is crucial for achieving national carbon peaking and carbon neutrality targets.
• Traditional supervision methods often lack differentiation, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation and monitoring.
• The need for innovative, data-driven approaches to environmental governance is paramount in the context of sustainable development.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose and validate a novel concept of 'precise supervision' for enterprise environmental protection.
• To develop an improved methodology (MEBF++) for assessing and supervising corporate environmental performance.
• To establish a framework for differentiated environmental supervision tailored to various enterprise types.

Main Methods:

• Development of a novel MEBF+ method, enhanced to MEBF++ by incorporating model bias, building upon the benchmark MEBF algorithm.
• Empirical validation using a dataset of environmental supervision and certification records from listed Chinese companies.
• Performance evaluation through multiple accuracy and robustness indicators compared to the benchmark method.

Main Results:

• The proposed MEBF++ method demonstrated significant improvements in accuracy and robustness compared to the benchmark MEBF algorithm.
• Experimental analysis confirmed the effectiveness of the precise supervision approach in evaluating enterprise environmental protection behavior.
• The study identified two distinct concepts of precise supervision (narrow and broad) applicable to the low-carbon development background.

Conclusions:

• Precise supervision offers a more effective and efficient alternative to traditional environmental monitoring of enterprises.
• The developed methodology provides a robust tool for implementing differentiated supervision strategies.
• This approach can lead to reduced consumption of manpower and resources, while also fostering public participation in corporate environmental oversight.
