Abstract

Under the global context of sustainable development, the green transformation of enterprises has become a key issue for the coordinated development of the economy and the environment. As an important means to achieve low-carbon transformation and ecological innovation, green mergers and acquisitions have attracted much attention in recent years. However, due to their high costs, high risks and complexity, enterprises face many challenges in promoting green mergers. The development of digital technology provides new solutions for this. Empirically test the impact of digital technology on green mergers and acquisitions using A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2023 as the sample. The findings show that the level of digital technology application significantly increases firms’ green M&A behavior, and the conclusions remain reliable after multiple robustness tests. The research in this paper not only enriches the theoretical discussion of digital technology in corporate green transformation, but also provides policy and management suggestions for promoting green M&A practices, which is of positive significance for realizing the goal of “double carbon”.
