Abstract

We examine green finance development’s impact on corporate sustainability using panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2022. We investigate how green finance influences corporate sustainability via two key mechanisms: green innovation and environmental performance. Our findings reveal that green finance significantly enhances corporate sustainability, with more potent effects observed in firms with higher debt financing costs and regions with higher market competition and greater market development. Green credit, insurance, and investment significantly contribute to corporate sustainability. The research provides critical insights into how financial mechanisms can support sustainable corporate development, offering valuable guidance for policymakers and corporate managers seeking to promote ecology.
