Abstract

In the context of the interweaving of global sustainable development and the digital wave, this paper focuses on the impact of corporate digital transformation on ESG performance and various dimensions. Based on the financial data of Chinese A-share publicly traded corporations from 2022 to 2024, using Sino-Securities Index (hereafter as ‘SNSI’) ratings and Wind sub-dimension scores as indicators, through regression analysis, it is found that: Digital transformation significantly positively promotes overall ESG performance, with a positive impact on the environmental (E) and social (S) dimensions, but a non-linear negative correlation with the governance (G) dimension. The study reveals the multi-dimensional correlation between the two, providing a reference for enterprises to balance digitalization and sustainable development.
