Aiming at the principal-agent-client relationship among the government, enterprises and senior executives in the green development of enterprises, the principal-agent-client model of multi-tasks is constructed to explore the optimal incentive contract in which the government encourages enterprises to save energy and reduce emissions and enterprises encourage senior executives to take production, energy conservation and emission reduction into account. Mathematical derivation and numerical simulation are jointly applied to analyze the influencing factors of the optimal incentive intensity of enterprises to senior executives, the relative incentive intensity of enterprises to senior executives and the optimal incentive intensity of governments to enterprises. The results show that the degree of substitutability between two tasks, the cost coefficient of senior executives' efforts, variance of production tasks, variance of energy conservation and emission reduction tasks, and risk preference of senior executives have the effect on the design of the optimal incentive contract. The relative incentive intensity of enterprises to senior executives and optimal incentive intensity of governments to enterprises are directly and indirectly affected by the degree of substitutability between two tasks. The ratio of the variance of the two tasks indirectly plays effect on the relative incentive intensity of enterprises to senior executives that indirectly plays impact on the optimal incentive intensity of enterprises to senior executives.
