Direct answer: A website EHS page cannot replace statutory environmental information disclosure. Separate four uses first—statutory disclosure, website trust-building, customer audits and recruitment—then decide what to publish. Permits, monitoring, emergency and penalty information need source/date/scope; major-hazard locations, chemical inventories and sensitive layouts should not go online directly.
This report is for owners, EHS/safety-environment, website operations, sales, legal and procurement teams at chemical/new-material companies in Taizhou. It covers how to accept a website EHS (environment, health and safety) page. Information is current to 2026-10-30. It is not environmental/safety compliance, legal or EIA advice; specific disclosure duties, permits, monitoring, emergency plans and penalty information are governed by the authority, permits and counsel.
Statutory disclosure goes through the statutory system; the website is a supplement. Publish evidence and contact routes, not the entire raw register; sensitive locations, inventories, personal and customer information stay offline.
How does a website EHS page differ from statutory disclosure?
Statutory disclosure follows the environmental authority's system, format and deadlines; a website EHS page is trust-building and customer communication, not a substitute for statutory disclosure—and “not online” does not mean “no duty”.
China's Measures for Enterprises' Statutory Disclosure of Environmental Information require listed enterprises to prepare annual/temporary environmental disclosure reports and upload them to the statutory enterprise environmental information disclosure system. Content includes basic company information, environmental management, pollutant generation/treatment/emission, carbon emissions, emergency information and violations; the annual report is due by 15 March for the previous year. A website EHS page can summarise permits, monitoring, emergency and contacts, but it is not the statutory system and cannot replace the statutory report.
| Use | What goes there | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory disclosure | Annual/temporary environmental reports, permit execution reports, etc. | Authority system/format/deadline; the website cannot replace it |
| Website trust-building | EHS policy, certifications, permit summary, monitoring/emission summary, emergency contact | Source/date/scope verifiable; no sensitive information |
| Customer/supplier audit | EHS document pack, remediation records, drill/training records | Provided under NDA; not published |
| Recruitment/community | Safety culture, environmental investment, roles, complaint/contact channel | No unprovable “zero accident/zero emission” claims |
Statutory disclosure requirements follow the Measures for Enterprises' Statutory Disclosure of Environmental Information; the specific list, format and deadlines follow the authority and the notice for the year.
What can be published—and what should not?
Permit/monitoring summaries and emergency contacts can be public; major-hazard locations, chemical inventories, security layouts, personal and customer information need caution or stay offline; review sensitive information before publishing.
Chemical/new-material EHS pages make two common mistakes: reducing statutory disclosure to “the company values environmental protection”, or publishing internal registers, locations, inventories, pipelines and security details directly. The first fails to build trust; the second can create security risk. The table below grades “public/cautious/not public”; confirm against the company's confidentiality system, authority and customer requirements.
| Level | Example | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Public | EHS policy, ISO 14001/45001 certificates, permit number/validity, emergency phone, address/appointment route | Summary + source/date; state certificate scope |
| Cautious | Main pollutant/emission concentration summary, monitoring frequency, solid/hazardous waste destination, carbon summary | Consistent with statutory reports/execution reports; no raw registers |
| Not public | Major-hazard locations/inventories, full chemical inventory, pipeline/security layout, customer/employee personal data | Provide under NDA for customer audits; not on the website |
| No false claims | “Zero accident/zero emission/100% compliant” absolutes | Do not write without evidence; disclose penalties/incidents and remediation factually |
The grading is an editorial suggestion, not a substitute for confidentiality, safety and environmental review; sensitive-information scope follows company policy and authority requirements.
How should environmental information be accepted?
Check the pollutant permit/execution report, monitoring data, solid/hazardous waste destination, carbon emissions and penalties; each item needs source, date, scope and consistency with statutory reports.
An environmental page is not “a green-factory photo”. Under Article 55 of China's Environmental Protection Law, key pollutant-discharging units must truthfully disclose the name, discharge method, concentration and total volume of main pollutants, exceedances, and the construction/operation of pollution-control facilities. The environmental disclosure Measures further define annual/temporary content and deadlines. Website summaries must match permits, execution reports, monitoring reports and statutory disclosure—not tell different stories.
| Information | What to check | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Pollutant permit | Number, validity, industry/product, permitted outlets/factors | Permit/copy, query record |
| Execution report/monitoring | Period, factors, method, exceedance/abnormality notes | Execution report, monitoring report |
| Solid/hazardous waste | Generation/storage/transfer/disposal destination, qualifications | Transfer manifest, disposal contract |
| Carbon emissions | Boundary, year, data source | Accounting/disclosure report |
| Penalties/remediation | Facts, penalty, remediation, closure | Penalty decision, remediation record |
| Emergency info | Plan, drills, supplies, contact | Plan/drill record |
Article 55 of the Environmental Protection Law and the environmental disclosure Measures are statutory requirements; website summaries/acceptance lists are editorial, subject to permits, reports and authority requirements.
How should safety/emergency information be accepted?
The Safety Production Law requires an all-staff responsibility system, major-hazard registration/assessment/monitoring, emergency plans and notification; the website should show policy, certificates, emergency contacts and public drill summaries—not sensitive locations/inventories.
China's Safety Production Law requires production/business units to establish an all-staff safety responsibility system, meet safety conditions, fund safety inputs, register and periodically inspect/assess/monitor major hazard sources, prepare emergency plans and notify relevant people. A website can build trust with “safety policy, responsibility system, training/drills, emergency contact”, but must not publish major-hazard locations, full chemical inventories, pipeline/security layouts; provide those under NDA or statutory channels when customers/regulators need them.
| Information | What the website can say | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Safety responsibility | Responsible person, organisation, safety policy | System/appointment document |
| Major hazard source | “Registered/filed and periodically assessed”; no location/inventory | Filing/assessment record |
| Emergency plan | Plan/drills/emergency phone available | Plan, drill record |
| Training | Training type/frequency/coverage summary | Training record |
| Contractors/visitors | Entry safety requirements, appointment/contact | Management system, notice |
| Incidents/penalties | Factual remediation; no “zero accident” | Incident/penalty/remediation record |
Safety Production Law requirements do not mean all safety information must be public; disclosure scope follows confidentiality, security and authority requirements.
How should website/catalogue/customer audits stay consistent?
The same EHS facts must be consistent across the website, catalogue, customer audit and bid documents; version, date, scope, contact and approver must reconcile, and old versions must be retired.
Chemical companies' EHS materials appear on websites, catalogues, exhibitions, customer audits, bids and supplier questionnaires. Different versions make it easy for a customer to find inconsistent dates, permits or emissions. Build one EHS fact sheet shared by EHS, marketing, legal and sales; external content uses only the fact sheet, and sensitive information is provided by permission.
| Dimension | What to write | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Fact sheet | Permit, monitoring, waste, carbon, plans, penalties/remediation | Fact sheet, source files |
| Version/date | Data period, report date, version | Version record, takedown record |
| Scope | Company/site/product/customer | Permit/report scope |
| Channel | Website, catalogue, exhibition, bid, customer audit | Channel versions |
| Approval | EHS/legal/marketing/owner sign-off | Approval record |
| Sensitive info | Grading, redaction, NDA | Grading sheet, NDA |
The fact sheet/approval flow is an editorial suggestion; specific disclosure and confidentiality requirements follow company policy, authority and customer contracts.
Pre-publication acceptance checklist
Before publishing, check statutory disclosure, permits/monitoring/waste/carbon, emergency plans, sensitive information, channel consistency and version; do not launch if any item is missing.
The checklist can be shared by EHS, website operations, legal, sales and the website vendor. The point is reproducible evidence, graded sensitive information and a takedown path—not a “professional-looking” page.
| Check | Pass standard | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Statutory disclosure | Annual/temporary reports completed in the system/deadline | System record, report |
| Permit/monitoring | Number/validity/factors/data consistent | Permit, execution/monitoring report |
| Waste | Destination/qualification/manifest verifiable | Contract, manifest |
| Carbon | Boundary/year/source stated | Accounting/disclosure report |
| Emergency | Plan/drills/contact available | Plan, drill record |
| Sensitive info | Locations/inventories/layouts/personal data not public | Grading sheet, redaction record |
| Channel consistency | Website/catalogue/bid/audit consistent | Fact sheet, version record |
| Takedown/update | Old/expired data has takedown/update record | Version sheet, review record |
The checklist is an editorial suggestion, not a substitute for environmental/safety/legal review; permits, reports, authority and contracts govern.
Who should read this, who should not, and what decision does it support?
It fits Taizhou chemical/new-material companies doing website, catalogue, customer-audit and bid EHS content; it does not fit teams without an EHS owner/permits/reports, or those wanting to publish sensitive locations/inventories.
Who should read: owners, EHS/safety-environment, website operations, sales, legal and procurement at chemical/new-material companies in Taizhou; teams preparing website/catalogue/exhibition/customer-audit/bid EHS content; companies that need to separate statutory disclosure from website presentation. Who should not: companies without an EHS owner, permits/monitoring/emergency plans; teams wanting the website to replace statutory disclosure or publish major-hazard locations/inventories/security layouts; projects expecting this article to replace environmental/safety/legal advice. Decisions supported: what goes on the EHS page, how it connects to statutory disclosure, how to accept permits/monitoring/waste/carbon, which sensitive information stays offline, what to give customer audits, and what to check before publishing.
FAQ
Can a website EHS page replace statutory environmental disclosure?
No. Listed enterprises must prepare annual/temporary reports under the Measures for Enterprises' Statutory Disclosure of Environmental Information and upload them to the statutory system; the website can summarise but cannot replace the statutory report, format or deadline.
Can permit/monitoring data be published directly?
A summary can be published, but it must match the permit, execution report and monitoring report, with number/validity/data period/scope; do not upload raw registers, sensitive points or undisclosed data. Confirm against confidentiality and authority requirements.
Can major-hazard/chemical information be public?
Do not publish specific locations, inventories, pipeline/security layouts or full chemical inventories. You can state “registered/filed and periodically assessed; emergency plan available”; provide details under NDA or statutory channels when customers/regulators need them.
What EHS materials should be given to a customer audit?
Provide permits, monitoring/execution reports, waste, carbon, emergency plans/drills, training/remediation, etc. under the customer questionnaire/NDA; the public page should only carry summaries and contacts, not the full audit pack.
How should expired data or past penalties be presented?
Use the latest valid data with period/version; present penalties/incidents factually with remediation and closure, not “zero accident/zero emission”. Retire expired certificates/reports promptly to avoid customer/regulator misreading.
How often should the EHS page be updated?
At least when permits/reports/plans/penalties/remediation change; review annual data on the statutory disclosure cadence. Check links/dates/contacts quarterly and do a full annual review.
Bottom line
For a Taizhou chemical/new-material company's website EHS page, separate statutory disclosure from website presentation, then grade “public/cautious/not public”; permits, monitoring, waste, carbon, emergency and penalties need source/date/scope, while major-hazard locations/inventories/layouts stay offline—and the website cannot replace statutory disclosure.
