Bridging Digital Finance and ESG Success: The Role of Financing Constraints, Innovation, and Governance
Zhengren Luo, Pick Schen Yip, Robert Brooks
International Journal of Financial Studies, 2025
This study investigates the impact of digital finance on corporate ESG performance, using panel data from A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets between 2011 and 2022. Our findings demonstrate that digital finance significantly enhances corporate ESG outcomes, with financing constraints and digital transformation serving as partial mediators and internal control quality acting as a moderating factor. The results from channel tests indicate that digital finance facilitates notable improvements in social performance and corporate governance, while its influence on environmental performance remains limited. Further analysis reveals that the positive impacts of digital finance on ESG are more evident in small-scale, technology-intensive, and non-polluting firms. This study concludes by proposing tailored recommendations for government, financial institutions, and corporations, emphasizing the need for differentiated policies to elevate ESG practices and promote higher quality, sustainable economic, and social development in China.
