Administrative Regulation Of Corporate Environmental Responsibility: A Chinese Administrative Law Perspective

In recent years, the consensus has been made that the corporate is responsible to the environmental protection. Most of the western countries adopted this point of view: using the tool of administrative law was the best way to regulate the corporate environmental responsibility. China is sharing the same opinions with the western countries. However, the sound administrative regulation of corporate environmental responsibility has not set up in China till now. Some disadvantages of the administrative legal system is hindering the progress of the corporate environmental responsibility. Such as, the neglect of procedure laws, the lack of administrative culture. Even the government regulations are out of order sometimes.The United Kingdom was the first country to establish the administrative legal system to regulate the corporate environmental responsibility. After considering the difference between the UK and China, a new solution has been made. First of all, a sound administrative law system should been made. Secondly, the information disclosure and public participate is the effective supervision of corporate environmental responsibility. Thirdly, the public interest action is providing a new way to the access of corporate environmental responsibility. At last, the proper use of green taxes and green crime can open a new era to the regulation of corporate environmental responsibility.
