Abstract

With the global rise on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) concepts, exploring the specific impact of ESG practices on corporate performance has become increasingly significant. This paper uses Alibaba as a case study, drawing on its 2022-2024 ESG reports and financial data to analyze how ESG practices influence its business performance. The research is undertaken from three perspectives, environmental protection, social responsibility, and corporate governance. By analyzing cost optimization, market expansion, and risk reduction, this study evaluates how Alibaba’s ESG practices affect profitability, operational efficiency, debt-paying capacity, and growth ability. The findings illustrate that effective ESG practices not only help companies manage risks and reduce costs, but also improve corporate image and attract sustainable investment. This research aims to reveal the relationship between ESG and financial performance, enrich relevant theoretical understanding, and provide practical insights for companies to optimize ESG strategies and for investors to make informed decisions.
