Enterprise groups assume more significant social responsibility, as a major environmental impact. Under the pressure of multiple stakeholders, companies have to disclose their relevant environmental information.With the promotion of green economy, the disclosure of environmental information has become an inevitable requirement for the sustainable development.Therefore, to study environmental information disclosure of the corporate has theoretical and practical double meaning.According to stakeholder theory, social responsibility theory, transaction cost theory and asymmetric information theory, summarizing the literature on domestic and foreign scholars of environmental information disclosure level factors, combining with China’s market environment, the factors affecting the disclosure of environmental information of the listed companies are divided intodebt structure, enterprise scale, proportion of the largest shareholder, profitability, industry type, the establishment of safety and environmental protection departments and the location of the company.
