“…The above hypothesis is consistent with previous innovation management researches (Yang and Han, 2023; Yang et al ., 2023; Chen and Hao, 2022). They believed that green technology innovation has the attributes of improving the environment and conserving resources by improving the enterprises' resource utilization efficiency, promoting the development of circular economy, enhancing their environmental management and detection capabilities and reducing environmental marginal management costs.…”

“…Following previous studies (Yang and Han, 2023; Yang et al. , 2023), this paper selects the variables that have a potential impact on the performance of corporate environmental governance as control variables, including enterprise size ( Size ), corporate maturity ( Lnage ), asset-liability ratio ( Lev ), corporate wealth creativity ( TobinQ ), state-owned enterprise ( SOE ), corporate cash flow ratio ( Cashflow ), liquidity ratio ( Liqu ), total asset turnover ratio ( ATO ) and so on.…”

“…Chen and Hao (2022) used data on Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2010 to 2019 and found that digital transformation can improve environmental performance, and board characteristics play a regulatory role. Yang and Han (2023) found a looser financing constraint can promote the positive impact of digital transformation on corporate environmental performance. However, the above research did not analyze and empirically test the mechanism of the impact of digital transformation on enterprise environmental performance.…”

PurposeBased on the background of enterprise digital transformation, this paper aims to examine the impact of digitization on the cooperative behavior and environmental performance of green technology innovation.Design/methodology/approachBy constructing a model of quantity competition between the two enterprises, this paper examines the impact of digitization on the cooperative behavior and environmental performance of green technology innovation from the micro level. It uses Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share-listed companies as research samples. An unbalanced panel data set from 2011 to 2018 was constructed to empirically test the effect of digital transformation on the environmental performance of enterprises.FindingsThe findings reveal the following. First, digital transformation can significantly improve the environmental performance of enterprises. Second, green technological innovation sharing plays an intermediary role between digital transformation and enterprise environmental performance. Third, when the level of digitization is high, the sharing effect of green technology innovation brought about by digital technology is stronger and enterprises tend to carry out cooperative green technology innovation. Lastly, the level of development of regional science and technology finance plays a positive regulatory role in digital transformation and enterprise environmental performance.Originality/valueThis paper first proposes that green technology innovation-sharing is an important mechanism that can significantly improve enterprises' environmental performance. The authors empirically examine the mechanism and analyze the heterogeneity of the impact of digitalization level on enterprises' environmental performance. The authors also discuss the moderating effect of regional technology and finance development levels on the relationship between digitalization and enterprises' environmental performance.

“…While green process innovations include those mentioned above, digital innovations which assist in achieving CSR may include blockchain technologies, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, predictive analytics and cloud manufacturing (Cosimato & Vona, 2021). Such digital transformation has been found to positively affect both social and environmental performance (Yang & Han, 2023).…”

The need for environmental protection, especially of depleting natural resources such as fish stocks, remains a global challenge. Global population growth increases food consumption. Some socially responsible corporate entities in the fish sector are producing and selling sustainable fish products, but beyond meeting their altruistic motives, they need consumers to respond favorably to these CSR initiatives to make the investments worthwhile and to encourage more organizations to invest in CSR for sustainable development. This paper reports the findings of research on the factors which influence consumers in the emerging market of South Africa, to respond favorably to sustainable fish product CSR initiatives. A causal research design and quantitative method was employed with a sample of consumers who were part of the South African LinkedIn community and who eat fish, whether concerned or not about sustainability. An online questionnaire was developed using an extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Univariate, regression and mediation analyses were carried out. Attitude towards sustainable fish products was found to be the only significant predictor of intention to purchase sustainable fish but it was also found to mediate the impact of health consciousness and environment concern. This paper thus focuses specifically on the role of attitudes in sustainable fish consumption in South Africa. Recommendations are provided for improving these consumer responses so as to make these CSR investments worthwhile to corporates and thus also positively impact fish sustainability.

Digital transformation has become a wave sweeping across the globe, affecting all industries with unprecedented speed and breadth, and it is urgent to introduce digital transformation into the corporate social responsibility (CSR) field. This study aims to investigate the impact of digital transformation on CSR performance and its influencing mechanism. The findings are as follows: (1) digital transformation can improve CSR performance; (2) from the dual perspective of internal drive and external governance, we figure out that digital transformation improves CSR performance by improving green management innovation and analyst coverage; (3) further analysis shows that the impact of digital transformation on CSR performance differs under different resource endowments and institutional environments (i.e., formal and informal institutions). Specifically, this promoting effect is only reflected incorporates more resources (i.e., human resources, cultural resources, employment resources, and economic resources), with strong environmental enforcement or high media attention. In the context of digital transformation, this study enriches the mechanism of improving CSR performance and is of great practical significance for corporates, markets, governments and other stakeholders. Meanwhile, the findings of this study are of practical guidance for promoting corporates to fulfill their social responsibility and achieve sustainable development goals in the digital era.
