Abstract :
The global is getting warm due to a great quantity of greenhouse gas which mainly consists of carbon dioxide emitted by human activities. As we all know, the majority of the total emission in greenhouse gas is emitted by Industrial enterprises. Therefore, enterprises should take social responsibilities for global action against global warming. Based on the basis of introducing “carbon neutral” conception and connotation of enterprise environmental responsibility, the article indicates that enterprises can reduce energy consumption, cut down carbon dioxide emission, and eventually undertake their environmental duties by the way of smaller consumption of regular energies, technology innovation on “carbon neutral”, greening activities and construction of low carbon supply chain.
