企业数字化转型如何影响企业ESG表现——来自中国上市公司的证据How Corporate Digital Transformation Affects Corporate ESG Performance
胡洁,韩一鸣,钟咏
摘要(Abstract):
由于企业ESG实践存在一定的外部性,导致企业ESG投入不足。如何将ESG的外部性内部化,增强企业ESG实践能力、激发企业内在动力至关重要,企业数字化转型为此提供了新思路。本文以2010-2020年中国沪深A股上市公司为研究样本,实证检验企业数字化转型对于企业ESG表现的影响和作用机制。研究发现:(1)企业数字化转型能够显著提升企业的ESG表现,其中区块链技术表现更为突出,且经过一系列稳健性检验和内生性处理后该结论仍然稳健;(2)国有企业、成熟期企业和非高新技术企业进行数字化转型对于企业ESG表现的促进作用更强;(3)机制检验表明,企业数字化转型可以通过促进企业绿色技术创新、提升企业内部信息透明度、提高企业决策和运营管理效率等渠道对企业ESG表现产生促进作用;(4)经济效应检验表明,企业数字化转型促进企业ESG表现会带来企业价值提升和融资约束缓解的正向经济效应。本文从企业数字化转型视角,为提升我国企业ESG表现、推进我国ESG发展路径提供了理论支持和经验证据。
