Digital Transformation and Enterprise Carbon Emission Reduction
As climate change becomes increasingly sertous,reducing carbon emissions has become a global consensus.The digital economy,as an emerging economic form,with its characteristics of efficiency,intelligence,and innova-tion,is becoming an important force in promoting carbon emission reduction.This study,based on data from listed companies from 2011 to 2021,explores the impact and mechanisms of digital transformation on corporate carbon emission reduction from a micro-enterprise perspective.The research results indicate that:(1)Digital transformation can significantly promote carbon emission reduction in Chinese enterprises,and this conclusion holds true after vari-ous robustness tests.(2)The disclosure of carbon emission reduction information has enhanced the role of digital trans-formation in carbon emission reduction.(3)Digital transformation can promote carbon emission reduction by foster-ing technological innovation and increasing corporate social attention.(4)The impact of digital transformation on car-bon emission reduction is more pronounced for companies with higher environmental regulation intensity,more in-tense market competition,and higher capital intensity.This study reveals the specific mechanism of the impact of en-terprise digital transformation on carbon emission reduction,laying the foundation for subsequent micro-enterprise research.It also provides theoretical support and practical reference for the coordinated development of corporate dig-ital transformation and carbon emission reduction..
