EFFECT OF LOW CARBON ECONOMY ON ENTERPRISE COMPETITIVENESS: A MULTIPLE MEDIATION MODEL

The low-carbon economy is an economic model based on low energy consumption, low pollution and low emissions. According to some research, a low-carbon economy model can have a significant impact on a company's competitiveness. However, there are two different types of views on the relationship between environmental regulation and corporate competitiveness. This study uses a method of testing multiple mediations that can explain many complex internal mechanisms in the field of organizational behavior science. The results show that the low carbon economy has a positive effect on technology innovation, and this effect will influence enterprise competitiveness through sustainable development. We also found that the compound multiple mediation model has an advantage in explaining the problems involved with low carbon economy and enterprise competitiveness.
