Is there a role for not‐for‐profit or for‐purpose organizations in supporting governance professionals to engage with climate‐related opportunities and risks?

Climate change in Australia has become a political risk (for political parties) and a physical, transitional, and regulatory risk for businesses. Not‐for‐profits (NFPs) and for‐purpose (FPs) organisations, for example, Climate Alliance Limited, have acted in the absence of national climate risk policy, to support businesses to become better informed to manage their exposure to this risk, and helping them to set their own commitments and pathways to low and net zero carbon businesses. The objective of this article is to demonstrate, through the case study method, how one Australian NFP/FP has influenced the business sector and regulation. Climate Alliance Limited has done this through its interventions of (1) sharing case studies (best practices) on successful transitions to a low carbon business model and linking climate risk to business risk; (2) bringing thought leaders (advocacy) from the Bank of England and UK Prudential Regulator into the Australian finance and business sector; and (3) by offering a program (reward and recognition), showcasing how business leaders have and are adapting to climate risks and capturing business value.     

Book reviews and notices

This study aims to examine the mediating role of the customer environmental satisfaction in the effect of environmental friendliness of products and the company on customer loyalty in using green products in Malaysia. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis is performed to test the proposed hypotheses among 200 full time university students with purchasing experience at least once a week green products like organic vegetables. SEM results showed that customer environmental satisfaction significantly affected customer loyalty. This pair of relationships has the highest standardized beta coefficients, signifying the most important aspect of consideration by respondents among the rest of the proposed hypotheses. Next, customer environmental satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between environmental friendliness of products and customer loyalty in using green products. The results confirmed that customers are satisfied with their decision to purchase green products as they consume the least amount of resources and energy which results in minimum environmental damage and are also easy to recycle, disassemble, decompose, and reuse. Marketers should focus on creating effective marketing strategies and green promotional activities to attract customers for their green products. Marketers should control and enhance the quality of green products, as well as emphasizing their environmental satisfaction and increasing customer loyalty levels. This empirical study advanced marketers’ and policy makers’ understanding of the identification of customer environmental satisfaction as a mediator in the relationship between environmental friendliness of products and customer loyalty has been inspected in Malaysian context.     

制药企业人因可靠性评价指标体系的设计研究

通过分析人因可靠性评价的研究现状,以某制药企业人因失误事故原因统计为依据,在S O R理论基础上,对其进行了改进,重点强调作业者的特征和所处环境,特别是强调作业者所遵从的规则、文化、态度和目标,设计了制药企业人因可靠性评价指标体系。然后利用层次分析法（AHP）计算了指标体系的权重系数。最后对某制药企业生产线工作人员进行了实证分析,为其人员的安全管理提出意见建议,从而加强企业的安全生产提供人因保障。     

航运公司安全管理能力聚权分级模型

为了更好对航运公司安全管理工作摸底排查,采取针对性措施监管航运公司安全营运,需要对安全管理能力进行分类分级评价。基于表征航运公司安全管理能力的分级指标体系,建立安全管理能力分级评价模型。基于熵权和变异系数法的赋权方法,利用α系数检验两种客观赋权法的信度,提出聚合权重并建立安全管理能力的物元分级模型。利用多家航运公司数据确定分级指标的权重,对典型公司分级和评分。结果表明,提出的模型能合理反映各公司的安全管理能力,并有利于主管机关进行分类管理,采取针对性措施提高监管效率改善公司安全管理能力。

长江三角洲班轮公司挂靠港选择研究

20世纪90年代以来,班轮公司渐成影响港口体系演变的主导因素,班轮网络形成的内在机理成为学者们关注的热点领域。以长江三角洲为案例区,从基础设施、箱量规模、港口效率、港口费用、配套产业、扶持政策6个方面构建班轮公司挂靠港选择评价指标体系,利用多元线性回归模型,定量测度长江三角洲班轮公司挂靠港选择的影响因素。在此基础上,选取港口、班轮公司、货主和货代等港口物流节点进行访谈验证,结果显示定性分析与模型计算的结果基本吻合。箱量规模和港口费用是当前影响长江三角洲班轮公司挂靠港选择的主要因素,其次是港口基础设施与港口效率,最后是政策环境与航运配套产业,其中政策的影响越来越显著。     

从环保后督查看如何加强涉重金属上市公司的环保监管

对上市公司做出更严格的环保监管,对其他企业来说,具有更大的示范和引导意义。根据中国绿色证券制度实施状况,结合我中心对排放重金属污染物的上市公司开展了环保后督查工作,针对上市公司仍然存在的环保问题,建议从完善上市环保核查工作机制、强化上市公司环境信息披露机制、建立完善环保约束与激励机制、探索上市公司环境绩效评估机制、完善上市公司环保公众参与机制这五个方面加强对涉重金属上市公司的环保监管。     

通用航空公司安全运行保障能力未确知测度分析

通用航空公司安全运行保障能力是通用航空公司可持续健康发展的前提条件,是实现民航"两翼齐飞"的重要基石。根据通用航空公司安全运行保障能力较为低下的现状,以通用航空公司为例,基于日常运行状况和特点,结合现场调研结果,从人员、机械设备、环境、管理4方面提出了通用航空公司安全运行保障能力指标体系,鉴于其运行具有不确定性、模糊性和复杂性等特点,构建通用航空公司安全运行保障能力未确知测度分析模型,对其安全运行保障能力的水平进行评估,并与公司评估小组的评估结果进行对比,发现:模型计算所得到的安全运行保障能力等级与实际情况相符合,确定了通用航空公司今后应重点加强专业化人员培养、设备及时更新和设备维护等方面的工作。

基于事件法研究巨灾对我国上市公司的影响——以汶川8.0级地震为例

采用事件法分析了2008年汶川8.0级地震对四川省上市公司的影响。首先,选取建筑、电力、化工行业上市公司为样本,计算分析样本上市公司股票日平均异常收益率(AR)和累积异常收益率(CAR)的波动情况,然后对其进行检验;结果表明:地震灾害对不同行业上市公司的影响时间和程度都不尽相同,对建筑行业上市公司有正面影响,对电力行业和化工行业上市公司有较大负面影响。最后,总结分析巨灾对上市公司影响,借鉴国外经验,考虑我国巨灾风险管理国情,提出构建我国上市公司巨灾风险管理建议。
