Abstract

In the context of global energy transition and green development, how government energy policies affect corporate sustainable development behavior has become an essential issue of widespread concern to academics and policymakers. This paper takes China’s new energy model city policy as the research object, and based on the data of A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2023, excluding the financial and real estate industries, 37,817 valid samples are finally screened out. The impact of this policy on corporate ESG performance is systematically evaluated by the double-difference method. The empirical results show that the implementation of the new energy model city policy significantly improves the ESG ratings of enterprises in the pilot region.
