Abstract

Amid growing global environmental and market uncertainties, and at a critical juncture where China is striving to become a powerhouse of innovation and advancing its “dual carbon” goals and high-quality development, ESG initiatives have been integrated into the nation’s overarching strategic framework. For enterprises, enterprise innovation resilience (EIR) has become a core capability for weathering risks and achieving sustainable development. Using a sample of firms from 2011 to 2024, this study—taking into account the uneven regional development and significant sectoral differences in China’s financial markets—constructs a multi-period difference-in-differences model to empirically examine the impact of ESG performance on EIR. This paper offers practical insights to help enterprises improve their ESG performance and enhance their resilience to innovation, while also providing guidance for regulatory authorities to refine the ESG policy framework, support the implementation of China’s “dual carbon” goals, and promote high-quality economic development.
