企业环境责任与对外贸易的可持续发展

摘要

企业环境责任是企业社会责任的延伸和发展。随着经济全球化和国际贸易的发展，以及企业环境责任理论和制度的不断完善，国际贸易中企业应承担的环境责任的内容和性质正在发生变化。从短期来看，企业履行环境责任可能会影响对外贸易的可持续发展，如国际市场准入门槛提高，减少出口规模；企业成本上涨，国际竞争力降低；贸易条件恶化，使贸易获益减少等。但是，从长远来看，企业履行环境责任与对外贸易可持续发展并不矛盾，它有利于提升企业社会形象，减少贸易摩擦，实现对外贸易发展方式转变，促进我国对外贸易的健康发展。因此，在当前资源约束的环境下，本文提出了履行环境责任，实现对外贸易可持续发展的对策建议。%The corporate environmental responsibility （CER） is an extension and evolution of corporate social responsibility （CSR）.
