Abstract: Establishing an ecological responsibility system for resource-oriented enterprises aims to further encourage them to assume ecological responsibility. However, Chinese resource-oriented enterprises exhibit unsatisfactory ecological responsibility performance because they cannot ensure the smooth implementation of the ecological responsibility system. With considerations of the characteristics and detailed contents of ecological responsibility, an evaluation index system was established for resource-oriented enterprises, and their ecological responsibility performances were assessed using the intuitionistic fuzzy set–Technique for Order-Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method. Challenges of resource-oriented enterprises in ecological responsibility were recognized from the assessment results. Based on the findings, several policy suggestions were proposed to ensure ecological responsibility performance among resource-oriented enterprises.
