&Environmental administrative penalty refers to specific administrative sanctions imposed by environmental protection authorities on individuals or organizations committing general environmental violations in accordance with environmental protection regulations. Its direct outcome is the determination of environmental administrative liabilities, including various specific forms such as fines and orders for production suspension. These penalties are widely applicable to different environmental violations. According to China's environmental protection laws and regulations, administrative penalties for environmental violations can only be imposed and enforced by administrative agencies exercising environmental protection supervision and management authority through statutory procedures.
&CnOpenData matches environmental administrative penalty data of Chinese enterprises with the list of listed companies and their subsidiaries, obtaining environmental penalty information for over two thousand listed companies. This dataset includes fields such as Company Name (企业名称), Penalty Date (处罚日期), Reason for Penalty (处罚事由), and Penalty Authority (处罚单位), providing valuable resources for related research.
