Abstract

This case study applies the 3D-IDPT model from Information Resource Management (IRM) to analyze the impact of China National Petroleum Corporation's (CNPC) environmental reports and strategic responses. Focusing on two critical issues—air pollution (notably VOCs) and carbon emissions—the study explores CNPC's environmental governance through the three-dimensional framework of space, time, and construction. It reveals how CNPC's environmental behaviors are shaped by individual and collective actors, instant and synchronic timelines, and the evolving construction of environmental information under technological, value-driven, and societal demand pressures. Drawing from regulatory cases, media reports, and internal sustainability strategies, the research shows that CNPC is transitioning from reactive governance to a more proactive environmental planning model. While facing persistent challenges such as opacity and high governance costs, CNPC demonstrates growing capabilities in green transformation via carbon capture (CCUS), ecological compensation, and clean energy development. This study contributes to the understanding of how state-owned enterprises engage in sustainable transformation through dynamic information practices.
