Abstract

As China transitions from rapid growth to prioritized quality development, sustaina-bility has emerged as a pivotal factor. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance has become a vital benchmark for assessing a company's sustainability. This study, drawing from data spanning 2009 to 2022, conducts an empirical analysis to explore the impact of ESG on corporate performance, particularly the intervening role of innovation. The findings reveal a positive association between ESG practices and financial performance, with innovation serving as a catalyst in this relationship.
