Abstract

In today’s society, MNEs play an increasingly important role in social, cultural, and political issues. MNEs must seize opportunities, invest in development, and obtain the greatest benefits worldwide. To some extent, this is a good thing for the host country. It can develop the national economy. However, on a global scale, as multinational enterprises’ production and operation activities continue to cause various environmental pollution phenomena and endanger human physical and mental health, people have begun to realize the importance of environmental pollution. To solve this problem and promote the environmental responsibility of multinational enterprises, this article uses theoretical research methods, case methods, comparative research methods, and historical research methods. Starting from the basic theories of MNEs and environmental responsibility, it analyses the current environmental responsibility of multinational enterprises. And finally, from the international law response of multinational enterprises to environmental pollution, the domestic law response to the environmental pollution of multinational enterprises, and the strengthening of international cooperation. The three aspects provide suggestions to solve how multinational enterprises should assume environmental responsibility. It is proposed that it hopes to clarify the environmental responsibility of MNEs and promote the development of international investment law.
