Abstract

Under the global wave of sustainable development, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) data compliance has become a key issue in the operations of multinational companies. As important global economic forces, China, the United States and Europe have both conflicting and integrated ESG regulatory rules. This article deeply analyzes the differences in the rules among the three, explores the root causes of conflicts and integration paths, and proposes response strategies for multinational companies, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for ESG data compliance of multinational companies.
