Thisphenomenon reflects the good momentum of development of GEM companies interms of responsibility information disclosure. However, the current number ofvoluntary information disclosure GEM is still small, so what kind of companiesare more willing to disclose environmental accounting information it? Researchpaper, GEM listed company to expand its influence factors for the object. Takinginto account the impact on the environment and environmental accountinginformation disclosure heavy polluting industries a greater impact on thecompany itself, so choose the heavily polluted manufacturing GEM for the study.From the theoretical part of the basic concepts and theories start, focuses onthe meaning of environmental accounting, environmental information, environmental accounting information.
