Abstract

This study investigates supply chain transparency's (SCT) impact on corporate greenwashing. Analyzing Chinese data reveals a notable negative effect, suggesting that enhanced SCT contributes to reducing greenwashing. This relationship is primarily driven by easier financing constraints and increased investor vigilance. Environmental regulation rigor, digital finance adoption, the degree of market competition, and industry-specific characteristics emerge as key moderating factors of this relationship. Crucially, we demonstrate SCT's integral role in promoting genuine corporate environmental practices and emphasize non-financial disclosures' importance in diminishing information asymmetry and strengthening corporate governance.
