environmental information good. It indicates that the enterprise has a strong voluntary disclosure of water information and values the direct impact of water management on its sustainable and high-quality development. From the grade rating (see Table 4), the maximum value of 27 paper enterprises is 3.7901. The minimum value is 0.5355. The average value is 1.6360, the variance is 0.804, and the standard deviation is 0.8966, indicating that the quality of water information disclosure of paper enterprises varies greatly. The difference is a bifurcated phenomenon. Only two enterprises (7.41%) that reach the excellent grade, better and general enterprises, have 11, respectively, accounting for 14.81% and 25.93%. In contrast, the majority of enterprises are bad grades, a total of 14, accounting for half of the overall proportion of 51.85%. It can be seen that most paper enterprises are missing water information disclosure content, facing low-quality of water information disclosure, and the need to improve the enthusiasm for enterprise water information disclosure. In terms of the nature of enterprises (see Fig. 3), although the maximum projection value of SOEs is smaller than the maximum projection value of non-SOEs, the overall disclosure of SOEs is slightly higher than that of non-SOEs. Minfeng Special Paper proposes an environmental management grid in the disclosure information, establishes a special environmental management committee, incorporates the results of monthly supervision and inspection into the monthly performance assessment, and the disclosure information also makes special explanations about the situation of letters and visits during the period of Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspectors. In addition, Guanhao High-Tech has prepared annual sustainability reports in accord- ance with the Global Sustainability Reporting Standards (GRI Standards) of the Global Sustainability Standards Board, and implement the concept of efficient use of water resources and strict protection of the environment, relatively speaking, SOEs are subject to more stringent regulation and supervision in their operations. The gov- ernment, as the major shareholder of SOEs, usually requires more information disclosure from SOEs to ensure a fair, just and transparent market environment. At the same time, SOEs are more sensitive to the government’s environmental policies and have better execution, especially those that have been listed for a longer period of time, pay more attention to fulfilling their social responsibility, achieving high-quality development, and car- rying out environmental protection and ecological sustainability, and their image and reputation have a direct impact on the country’s image. Regionally (see Fig. 4), A-share listed paper and paper products companies are concentrated in 11 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions), with Zhejiang Province and Shandong Province generally having a higher composite rating value of 2.1947 and 1.9883 than other regions. Shanghai, as China’s economic and financial center, has a dominant position in industry. However, Shanghai’s water resources are mainly dependent
