Features: The legal system of environmental liability is an important theoretical and practical issue in the field of environmental law. Scholars both domestically and internationally have discussed it extensively, but there are few works that focus specifically on companies as the main subjects of environmental liability and conduct dedicated research on corporate environmental responsibility. This book, guided by the principle of sustainable development, explores the environmental responsibility of companies through the legal regulation of corporate behavior. Its topic is forward-looking and holds significant theoretical and practical value. The research not only represents a new attempt to address environmental issues but also a new exploration to better implement the sustainable development strategy. The perspectives presented in this book can be seen as both a continuation of the theoretical trend of corporate "social responsibility" and a new approach or concept for improving corporate legal systems. From a specific theoretical framework, the book is based on the fundamental principles of law, sociology, environmental ethics, and economics, among other disciplines, to comprehensively discuss the theoretical foundation of corporate environmental responsibility, the influence of the principle of sustainable development on the formation of corporate environmental responsibility, and the environmental obligations that companies should undertake.
