Abstract: With the globalisation of the economy and the increasing interconnectedness of individuals in the financial markets, companies implementing high energy consumption strategies have become more widespread due to the “herding effect” as they become more closely linked for development. In the context of carbon neutrality, the issue of how to reduce the spread of high energy consumption strategies and the issue surrounding the governance of corporate emissions have become a focus of research. This paper uses the improved SEIJRS infectious disease model to investigate the phenomenon of corporate high energy strategy infection, combined with optimal control theory, to provide a reference for governments and regulators to develop reasonable optimal prevention and control strategies.
