摘要

企业环境责任、社会责任与公司治理(ESG)成为推动企业高质量发展的重要抓手,在数字创新情境下如何基于企业ESG体系建设实现利益相关方多重责任嵌入到企业数字创新体系之中有待深入研究。基于此,本文基于中国上市公司数据并采用OLS线性回归模型和中介效应模型检验了ESG表现是否以及如何影响企业数字技术创新。研究发现:(1)在影响效应方面,ESG表现及其各维度表现均对企业数字技术创新存在显著的正向促进效应。(2)在影响机制方面,企业融资约束的缓解和企业风险水平的降低是ESG表现促进企业数字技术创新的作用机制。(3)在作用情境方面,ESG表现对企业数字技术创新的促进效应在数字化程度高企业、竞争程度高行业、创新活跃度高行业以及中东部地区的企业中更为明显。(4)在经济效应方面,数字技术创新在ESG表现促进企业高质量发展过程中发挥了中介效应。本文基于企业数字专利数据较早考察了ESG表现对企业数字技术创新的作用机制与作用边界,丰富了ESG表现经济后果与数字技术创新驱动因素的相关研究,并为中国ESG和数字技术创新的政策制定以及推进数字化绿色化协同转型提供了政策启示。

Abstract

Corporate environmental responsibility, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) have become important drivers for promoting the high-quality development of enterprises. In the context of digital innovation, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on how to embed multiple stakeholder responsibilities into enterprises' digital innovation system based on the construction of the ESG system. Based on this, this paper used the data from Chinese listed companies and employed the OLS linear regression model and mediation effect model to examine whether and how ESG performance affect enterprise digital technology innovation. This study found that: (1) In terms of impact effects, ESG performance and its various dimensions have a significant positive promoting effect on enterprise digital technology innovation. (2) In terms of impact mechanism, ESG performance promotes enterprise digital technology innovation through the alleviation of financing constraints and the reduction of enterprise risk levels. (3) In terms of action situation, the promotion effect of ESG performance on enterprise digital technology innovation is more obvious in highly digitized enterprises, highly competitive industries, highly digitized industries, high innovation activity industries, and enterprises in the central and eastern regions. (4) In terms of economic effects, digital technology innovation plays a mediating role in promoting enterprise high-quality development through ESG performance. This paper has examined the mechanism and boundary of ESG performance on enterprise digital technology innovation based on enterprise digital patent data, enriched the relevant research on the economic consequences of ESG performance and the driving factors of digital technology innovation, and it will provide insights for the policy formulation of ESG and digital technology innovation, as well as the promotion of collaborative transformation of digitalization and greening in China.

摘要

企业大数据应用和企业ESG的深度融合是加快推进数字中国建设的关键举措。本文采用2014-2021年沪深A股上市公司年报和企业大数据应用相关技术专利数据,构建企业大数据应用指标,探究了企业大数据应用对ESG评价的影响及其传导机制。研究发现:企业大数据应用能显著提高ESG评价,并通过绿色创新、慈善捐赠、内部控制显著影响ESG综合评价及其三个子维度。经过一系列的稳健性检验后,该结论依然成立。此外,拓展性研究表明,位于传统文化熏陶浓厚、环境政策严格、金融发展水平更高地区的企业,大数据应用对ESG评价的促进效果更明显。为此,应呼吁企业在经营管理中广泛应用大数据技术,支持企业制定和实施ESG个性化战略,进而实现数字经济和美丽中国建设的协同推进。

Promoting the deep integration of the use of big data in firms and corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) evaluation is a key measure to accelerate the construction of Digital China,. This paper conducts a text analysis of the annual reports of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed firms from 2014 to 2021, creatively constructs a series of firm big data use indicators from patent data and manually organises firm technology patent data related to the adoption of big data in firm operations. From this, the paper explores in depth the impact of firm big data use on corporate ESG evaluations and its internal mediation mechanism. The study reveals that: (1) the use of big data in firms can significantly improve ESG evaluation; (2) the use of big data in firms can significantly affect comprehensive ESG evaluations and its three dimensions, green innovation, corporate philanthropy and internal control; (3) after a series of robustness tests, the conclusion remains strong; and (4) in the extended study, it is observed that differences in cultural tradition, environmental policies and financial development can have significant heterogeneous effects on the improvement generated by the use of big data in ESG evaluation, with environmental policies having the most pronounced effect. Firms should therefore be actively encouraged to use big data in environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance, and should be continuously supported to formulate and implement customised ESG strategies, thus contributing concerted efforts to the construction of digital economy and Beautiful China.
