摘要：

This paper aims to examine the impact of corporate digital transformation on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of Chinese listed enterprises during 2018-2022. We also explore the chain mediating role of technological innovation and financing constraints. The paper suggests a positive relationship between digital transformation and ESG performance, and this impact is more prominent in private-owned enterprises, in large enterprises, and in high-tech and heavy-polluted industries. In addition, technological innovation and financing constraints have a chain mediating role in the influence of digital transformation on ESG performance. The findings will aid companies in improving ESG performance and achieving digital maturity.
