The trend of swinging from end-of-pipe control to product design, green innovation, and even the establishment of image or brand has affected corporations in almost every corner in the world, and enlarged to the all modern global production network. Corporations must take proactive environmental strategies to response the challenges.

Further relying on these relationships to draw the “map of environment strategy” to probe and understand the feasibility of environmental performance evaluation and environmental strategy control.
