Abstract

Against the backdrop of global sustainable transformation and accelerated digital economic development, the relationship between supply chain digitalization and corporate environmental governance—particularly greenwashing—demands deeper exploration. Using a sample of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2023, this study employs a Probit model to empirically examine the impact and mechanisms of supply chain digitalization on corporate greenwashing. Findings reveal that supply chain digitalization significantly inhibits corporate greenwashing. Mechanism tests indicate this effect operates through three pathways: enhancing supply chain resilience, increasing analyst scrutiny, and promoting green innovation. Heterogeneity analysis further shows this inhibitory effect is more pronounced in heavily polluting industries and non-state-owned enterprises. This study provides theoretical support for understanding digitalization’s “double-edged sword” effect in environmental governance and offers policy implications for collaborative green digital transformation between enterprises and regulators.
