“…These stakeholders are closely related to the survival and development of the firm; therefore, business decisions must consider their interests or accept their constraints (Freeman, 1999). With the improvement in environmental law, the public, as the owners of environmental resources and the beneficiaries of environmental resources and environmental governance, has established legitimacy in participating in environmental protection and governance (Mauerhofer & Larssen, 2015). Since 2018, the Chinese government has introduced a number of policies to establish and improve the mandatory disclosure system for environmental information of listed companies.…”

With the increase in public environmental awareness, firms are continuously being required to fulfill environmental responsibilities. Based on stakeholder theory and institutional theory, this study examines the impact of public surveillance on corporate environmental innovation and the mediating role of environmental law enforcement. We selected 30 provinces in China as the research sample from 2011 to 2015. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the data by Stata software. We found that public surveillance had a significant positive promoting effect on corporate radical eco-innovation, but had no significant effect on incremental eco-innovation; environmental law enforcement had a significant positive promoting effect on both radical and incremental eco-innovations. In addition, public surveillance was conducive to enhancing environmental law enforcement, which in turn promoted corporate radical eco-innovation.

“…The notion of social equity comprises three indispensable and interrelated aspects (Schlosberg, 2007;McDermott et al, 2013;Martin et al, 2014;Pascual et al, 2014;Sikor et al, 2014;Schreckenberg et al, 2016;Zafra-Calvo et al, 2019). The component of distributional equity was the earliest to be noticed (Adams, 1965;Hatfield et al, 1978;Gordon, 2010;McLauchlan and Joao, 2011), and later came with the other two aspects, recognitional (Martin et al, 2016;Arsenault et al, 2019) and procedural equity (Marques et al, 2015;Mauerhofer and Larssen, 2016). Zafra-Calvo et al (2017) enriched this classification framework by proposing a suite of 10 indicators to assess social equity in PAs, and those indicators were later supplemented and applied in other case studies (Bennett et al, 2020).…”

Social equity is essential in the governance of protected areas (PAs), as ignoring such consideration can lead to resistance and jeopardize conservation objectives. However, more research is required to understand the spatial heterogeneity of perceived social equity and its underlying spatial factors. Using a survey of 361 respondents, we presented spatial distribution patterns of perceived equity by kernel density estimation (KDE) in Giant Panda National Park, China. The regression analysis showed that local residents who live closer to the PA boundary are more likely to develop negative responses and those who with easy access to tourism spots have more positive procedural and distributional perceptions. Notably, the proximity to the PA authority decreases locals’ perceptions of fairness in all aspects, which is potentially due to the opaque participative channels provided by the PA authority. We argue that those spatial differentials in fairness perceptions are driven by the intrinsic discrepancy of biodiversity protection requirements and the unevenly distributed consequences of management policies. Key steps to advance social equity considerations include multi-industry guidance, extending participative channels, and co-producing better compensation plans. Herein, this study appeals to a greater focus on the spatial aspect of social equity issues in PAs.

As an important method of reducing pollution, green technology innovation (GTI) is receiving more attention. However, facing the challenges in conducting GTI, it is crucial for enterprises to find the optimal path to acquire green technology. This paper investigates how high‐pollution manufacturing enterprises make decisions on independent innovation and green technology introduction under government intervention and public involvement. The influences of other factors, such as media attention and product market competition, have also been considered in the tripartite evolutionary game model. The simulation after applying MATLAB indicates that government intervention and public participation have a significant impact on the decision‐making of green technology acquisition paths for enterprises. Government subsidies and penalties are important policy tools for enterprises to make decisions on the selection of green technology acquisition paths. Meanwhile, reputational incentives or losses brought from public involvement are also essential in encouraging government intervention and green technology acquisition of enterprises. Finally, the extent to which the changes in various influencing factors affect the selection of enterprises' green technology acquisition paths have been tested and simulated. This paper aims to provide policy implications for governments, as well as decision‐making strategies for enterprises that urgently require green transition to achieve sustainable development.
