Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to enhance the assessment of green governance in energy projects along the Belt and Road, reduce the influence of fuzzy judgment, and construct a grey network analysis model from the perspective of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).

Design/methodology/approach

The ESG concept is used to establish an evaluation indicator system. The Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the Grey System Theory are applied sequentially to determine the green governance grade of energy projects, exemplified by an evaluation of five projects.

Findings

The Karot hydropower project has the best green governance status among the five projects and is of excellent grade. This is followed by the Hongfeng photovoltaic project, the De Aar wind power project, and the Yamal liquefied natural gas project, which are of good grade. The Lamu coal power station project has the worst green governance and is at a medium level.

Practical implications

This study can assist Belt and Road energy projects in identifying their deficiencies and promoting sustainable development by providing a robust framework for green governance evaluation.

Originality/value

The indicator system developed in this study includes social and project governance aspects in addition to environmental performance, reflecting the comprehensive green governance status of projects. The combined use of ANP and grey system theory fully considers the mutual influence relationship between indicators and improves the objectivity of green governance grade judgment.

对 "一带一路 "沿线能源项目绿色治理的评估

目的本研究旨在加强对 "一带一路 "沿线能源项目绿色治理的评估，减少模糊判断的影响，并从环境、社会和治理（ESG）的角度构建灰色网络分析模型。结果卡洛特水电站项目的绿色治理状况在五个项目中最好，为优秀等级。紧随其后的是红枫光伏发电项目、迪阿尔风力发电项目和亚马尔液化天然气项目，这三个项目的绿色治理等级均为良好。本研究为绿色治理评价提供了一个强有力的框架，有助于 "一带一路 "能源项目发现自身不足，促进可持续发展。原创性/价值本研究开发的指标体系除环境绩效外，还包括社会治理和项目治理方面，全面反映了项目的绿色治理状况。方差分析与灰色系统理论的结合使用，充分考虑了指标间的相互影响关系，提高了绿色治理等级判断的客观性。
