1. Introduction
The report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put people first and pointed out that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. We will always put the people’s interests above all else, ensure that the fruits of reform and development benefit all the people in a more equitable way, and ensure that their sense of gain, happiness and security are more substantial, secure and sustainable. Enterprises fulfill their social responsibility is the requirement of their sustainable development, and energy conservation and emission reduction is the necessary path for enterprises to undertake their social responsibility. At the same time, protecting the interests of employees is also the requirement of undertaking social responsibility. Scholars have done a lot of research on energy saving and emission reduction and promoting enterprise development. Guangdong Tabai Group (2012) found that energy conservation and emission reduction is a new driving force for enterprise development. Taking the implementation and management methods of energy saving and emission reduction as an example, this paper discusses the management system suitable for the company. By defining and formulating corresponding management responsibilities and working procedures, the company has laid a solid foundation for the development of green environmental protection, and improved the operation efficiency and economic benefits of the company. Fu Yuanping and Wen Lin (2012) took the implementation and management methods in energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises as an example to discuss the management system suitable for the company. By defining and formulating corresponding management responsibilities and working procedures, the company has laid a solid foundation for the development of green environmental protection, and improved the operation efficiency and economic benefits of the company. Jiang Guogang (2019) proposed that petrochemical enterprises should strengthen main responsibility, attach importance to safety management and promote technological innovation to achieve green industrial upgrading. Wang Minjie et al. (2020) put forward that the internal enthusiasm of energy conservation and emission reduction can be mobilized by mobilizing all aspects. Accelerate breakthroughs in key technologies in clean energy and low carbon, and promote win-win economic and social development and environmental protection; Jiang Zhe (2020) proposed feasible measures for energy saving and emission reduction, aiming to improve the energy saving level of enterprises and help the sustainable development of social and ecological benefits. Tang Tianwei et al. (2020) showed through the empirical analysis of Hefei Economic Circle that only by continuously improving the level of regional economic development, continuously optimizing the industrial structure and attaching importance to technological innovation of energy conservation and emission reduction can regional ecological environmental quality be effectively improved. Cao Yuting et al. (2020) proposed that the improvement of industrial casting technology can reduce the discharge of hazardous wastes to enterprises, improve employee satisfaction and bring enterprise benefits. Scholars have conducted a lot of studies on promoting environmental improvement and enterprise development through energy conservation and emission reduction, and achieved fruitful results. However, there are few studies on improving employee satisfaction through energy conservation and emission reduction. How the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction will affect the satisfaction of internal employees is an important research direction for enterprises. Because employee satisfaction has a great impact on the operation of an enterprise, improving employee satisfaction will effectively promote the development of the enterprise. This paper studies the influence of energy conservation and emission reduction on employee satisfaction from five dimensions, and puts forward reasonable suggestions for improving employee satisfaction based on energy conservation and emission reduction, so as to provide corresponding theoretical basis for the implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction. Through questionnaires and interviews with employees and management, we can obtain real information from multiple perspectives, provide research data for our research report and provide information sources for subsequent data analysis. It also understands the actual situation of energy saving and emission reduction and employee satisfaction within the company from a micro perspective, and qualitatively shows the relationship between energy saving and emission reduction and employee satisfaction. Through analysis of survey data, using the theory of variable analysis, hypothesis test and correlation analysis of a variety of analysis tools, our survey data for quantitative analysis, scientifically rigorous argued that our previous assumptions, for the implementation of energy conservation and emissions reduction policy or want to implement energy conservation and emissions reduction of enterprises to provide more reference opinions and Suggestions.
2. Data Sources
The analysis data used in this questionnaire are from enterprises in Liaocheng, Shandong province. A total of 225 employees filled in the questionnaire, and 225 questionnaires were sent out, of which 222 were effective. The overall recovery rate of the questionnaire reached 100%, and the effective rate reached 98.7%.

3.1 Theoretical analysis and hypothesis of research variables
The human-oriented management mode of “people-oriented, high satisfaction” is playing an increasingly important role in the management value system of contemporary enterprises. And the survey of employee satisfaction as the basis of enterprise management can best reflect this management thought. According to the Minnesota Long Degree of Satisfaction Scale, we mainly carried out research from five aspects of job background satisfaction, job reward satisfaction, satisfaction with working group, satisfaction with enterprise management, and satisfaction with enterprise operation.

4. Summary
Based on the above relationship between energy conservation and emission reduction in enterprises and the improvement of employee satisfaction, it can be found that there is a significant correlation between energy conservation and emission reduction and employees’ satisfaction with their work background, work reward, work group, enterprise management and enterprise operation. The correlation coefficient between the energy conservation and emission reduction of enterprises and each dimension is positive. In each dimension, the employee satisfaction is very low before the enterprise implements energy conservation and emission reduction. After the enterprise implements energy conservation and emission reduction, the employee satisfaction level of each dimension has been greatly improved. Therefore, there is a significant positive correlation between energy saving and emission reduction and the improvement of employee satisfaction. It also shows that the implementation of energy saving and emission reduction strategies can effectively promote the improvement of employee satisfaction.
The implementation of energy conservation and emission reduction strategies by enterprises will effectively promote the improvement of employee satisfaction, which is a key factor affecting the production and operation efficiency of enterprises. The improvement of employee satisfaction will make employees more active in work, The enhanced sense of belonging to the organization and the prospect and confidence of the future development of the enterprise will affect the performance of the enterprise, improve the production level of the enterprise organization and the operation efficiency, and contribute to the green, sustainable and healthy development of the enterprise.
