Abstract

In the context of economic globalization, more and more multinational enterprises are choosing to move their highly polluting companies to low-income developing countries that are rich in resources, and these highly polluting enterprises are causing huge disasters to the environment of these developing countries. Therefore, multinational enterprises need to take responsibility for environmental protection. However, it is not enough to rely on the self-regulation of multinational enterprises, but the international community, together with the home countries of multinational companies and host countries, should also regulate multinational companies.
