环保信用评价
环保信用评价是加强生态环境监管的重要抓手，是推动市场主体履行生态环境保护责任、提升生态环境治理能力的重要举措。中共十八大以来，按照中共中央、国务院关于生态文明建设和社会信用体系建设的部署，国家发展改革委、环境保护部会同有关部门先后印发《企业环境信用评价办法（试行）》《关于加强企业环境信用体系建设的指导意见》等文件，环境信用评价制度得以确立。2017年10月，中共十九大进一步提出健全环保信用评价制度。
环保信用评价制度，将尊重自然、顺应自然、保护自然的生态文明理念和要求作为中国政府、企事业单位和社会公众的道德规范和行为准则，通过建立环境保护“守信激励、失信惩戒”的机制，督促企事业单位持续改进环境行为，自觉履行环境保护法定义务和社会责任，引导公众参与环境监督，促进有关部门协同配合，推进环境信用体系建设。在环境保护工作中引入信用机制，是中国政府引导企事业单位实现环境自律、创新生态环境领域监管方式的有力举措。
Environmental Protection Credibility Assessment
This is an important system for reinforcing environmental regulation and driving market entities to fulfill their responsibilities for environmental protection and increase their environmental governance capacity.
Since 2012, a number of documents have been worked out to guide the assessment of the performance of enterprises regarding environmental protection.
The 19th CPC National Congress decided to improve the system for the assessment of environmental protection performance.
This system takes respecting, accommodating and protecting nature as the standards of conduct for the government, enterprises, public institutions and the general public. Mechanisms have been set up to provide incentives for good faith actors and take punitive actions against bad faith actors. This will give enterprises and public institutions the incentive to improve their conduct and fulfill their legal obligations and social responsibilities concerning environmental protection, guide the public in environmental supervision, and call for coordination of relevant government departments, so as to build a sound credibility system.
The introduction of credibility is an innovative and effective way to encourage the enterprises and public institutions to uphold self-discipline in environmental protection.
