Real Situation and Solutions for Enhancing Environmental Responsibilities of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Vinh Phuc Province

Abstract

      In the trend of economic globalization and toward the sustainable development goal, environmental responsibility is becoming an indispensable requirement for business enterprises. This is shown through different levels. Among of them, the most basic level is the obedience to the laws on environmental protection. The findings from the survey data of 92 small and medium – sized enterprises and some related documents showed that, although these enterprises have initially concerned about making the commitment to environmental protection in recent years, however, the implementation of the program of environmental monitoring and waste management has not been carried out in an effective and serious way. This article points out some factors that have influence on the implementation of environmental responsibility of small and medium – sized enterprises in Vinh Phuc province and some key measures to strengthen this are also suggested.
