In the process of developing foreign investment cooperation, Chinese enterprises generally attach importance to environmental protection work, conscientiously abide by the laws and regulations of the host country, and actively fulfill their social responsibilities. However, some enterprises lack experience in how to do well in environmental protection abroad, and they need the necessary guidance from government departments. < /p >
