Abstract

Environmental Pollution during the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) process is common and frequent. Host states often find it unfeasible to seek remedies by the dispute. Therefore, a trend of shifting from remedy to prevention has been observed in the recent legal reform of environmental protection. To prevent pollution in advance, a higher level of transparency in MNEs’ operations is needed. Specified in China, the current Chinese regime is weak in both environmental and corporate law perspectives. The current legal system for environmental protection lacks specific guidelines for environmental policies and enforceability of environmental provisions in securities law and the supervision of Foreign-Funded Enterprises. Incorporating the review process into Chinese legislation could bring more reasonable and efficient legislation and strengthen supervision over MNEs environmental compliance. This passage adopts comparative analysis as its principal research method, accompanied by literature analysis, to introduce problems of current Chinese Environmental Compliance Disclosure Regime, then analyze environmental compliance disclosure regulations in developed countries, mostly focused on EU and its member states as legislation reference. This passage further discusses the possibility of incorporating the environmental compliance disclosure regulations into Chinese domestic law. It is concluded from three aspects: the broadening of scope, the expansion of object, and the enforcement of the disclosure obligations.
