Abstract

The advancement of global climate governance alongside the deep implementation of China's "dual carbon" strategy has elevated the collaborative governance of the ecological environment to a central position within high-quality economic and social development. As ecological and environmental issues receive increasing attention, corporations, as the primary consumers of environmental resources and the principal sources of environmental pollution, bear a significant responsibility for improving and protecting the existing ecological environment. Against the backdrop of developing a low-carbon economy, it is imperative to clarify the environmental social responsibility that enterprises should undertake in environmental protection from multiple dimensions, including fostering low-carbon philosophies, enacting environmental legislation, increasing investment in low-carbon technology R&D, and strengthening government guidance.
