Abstract

This study employs a two-way fixed effects model to systematically examine the impact of digital technology innovation on corporate ESG performance, utilising a sample of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2017 to 2023. Robustness tests validate the reliability of the findings. Findings reveal that digital technological innovation significantly enhances corporate ESG performance by improving green innovation efficiency. This research provides theoretical underpinnings for companies advancing digital innovation and ESG practices, while also offering valuable insights for policymakers seeking to foster synergistic development between digitalisation and green transformation.
