ABSTRACT

Starting from the perspective of ESG philosophy, this article systematically discusses the mechanism by which digital transformation promotes the development of green innovation in enterprises. The study suggests that digital transformation faces bottlenecks in technology integration and management process optimization, while the acquisition, quality, and standardization of ESG data, as well as the balancing challenges of green innovation costs and benefits, limit the sustainable development capabilities of enterprises. By delving into the various applications of ESG in business operations, including but not limited to reporting systems, information disclosure, risk management, and strategic decision-making, this paper aims to elucidate the role of digital transformation in various environmental factors and how social and corporate governance dimensions promote green innovation practices through data transparency, risk warning, and governance optimization. Finally, this article proposes a comprehensive mechanism model to emphasize the systematic response formed by the multidimensional collaborative development of digital technology, ESG concepts, and green innovation, in order to provide theoretical support and practical reference for the sustainable development of enterprises under policy pressure and market competition environment.
