摘要：

From a green perspective, this paper examines the impact of green investors on corporate ESG performance and then investigates how the entry of green investors affects corporate ESG performance based on data from A-share-listed companies in China between 2009 and 2022. The findings suggest that the entry of green investors enhances corporate ESG performance by addressing internal financing constraints and external public environmental concerns. Furthermore, the positive influence of green investors on ESG performance is markedly pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises, highly competitive enterprises and enterprises situated in the Northern region of China.
