公众环境关注与企业绿色转型:政府环境规制与企业内部能力的双重审视

加快企业绿色低碳转型已成为工业发展的必然选择。然而,企业转型的驱动力正在从外部压力向内部动力转变。随着数字化平台的发展,公众环境关注作为政府环境规制的有益补充,逐渐成为企业提升内部能力建设、实现绿色转型升级的主导力量。因此,该研究基于2011-2020年中国A股上市公司面板数据,通过构建动态协同效应模型与中介效应模型,重点从企业内外联动视角考察公众环境关注对企业绿色转型的影响效应及与政府环境规制的协同作用机理。研究结果表明:①公众环境关注对企业绿色转型具有显著的正向促进作用,公众环境关注度每增加1%,企业绿色转型水平将提升0。029%。②公众环境关注与政府行政处罚及研发补助均能形成有效合力,促进企业绿色转型升级。不同之处在于,公众环境关注与政府行政处罚对企业绿色转型具有更强的协同"促增"效应,即两者协同水平提升1%,企业绿色转型水平随之提高3。276%。③机制检验结果表明,公众环境关注通过提升企业社会责任意识、强化绿色技术创新投入及环境治理投资3种内部能力建设渠道促进企业绿色转型。此外,公众环境关注与政府行政处罚的协同效应主要内化为企业环境治理能力促进绿色化发展;而协同政府研发补助能够通过提升绿色技术创新能力促进企业绿色转型。据此提出,社会公众应高效利用新媒体平台形成社会舆论效应,约束企业环境行为,倒逼企业绿色转型升级。地方政府应畅通官方互动渠道,优化组合环境规制工具,提高与公众环境参与方式的协同度及环境适配度,助力企业选取匹配自身禀赋的绿色转型模式,从被动治理迈向主动转型。
Public environmental concerns and corporate green transformation:the dual examination of government environmental regulations and the internal capacity of enterprises
Accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of enterprises has become an inevitable path for industrial develop-ment.However,the driving force of corporate transformation is shifting from external pressure to internal power.With the development of digital platforms,public environmental concerns,as an effective supplement to government environmental regulations,have gradually become the leading force for enterprises to improve their internal capacity and achieve green transformation and upgrading.In view of this,this paper used panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2020 and constructed a dynamic synergy model and a mediation effect model to focus on the impact of public environmental concerns on the green and low-carbon transformation of en-terprises.It also explored the synergy mechanism between public environmental concerns and government environmental regulations from the perspective of internal and external linkages among enterprises.The main results were as follows:① Public environmental con-cerns had a significant positive effect on corporate green transformation.For every 1%increase in public environmental concerns,cor-porate green transformation would increase by 0.029%.② There was an effective synergy between public environmental concerns,gov-ernment penalties,and government R&D subsidies,in which public environmental concerns had a stronger growth-promoting effect on corporate green transformation when matched with government environmental regulations.That is to say,if the level of synergy between public environmental concerns and government penalties increased by 1%,corporate green transformation would increase by 3.276%.③ The mechanism test indicated that public environmental concerns positively promoted corporate green transformation mainly through three channels in the building of internal capacities:enhancing social responsibility awareness,strengthening technological innovation,and increasing environmental governance investment.In addition,the synergistic effect of public environmental concerns and govern-ment penalties was mainly internalized as the power of environmental governance investment to improve corporate green transformation.Public environmental concerns,in concert with government R&D subsidies,could promote corporate green transformation by enhancing the ability of technological innovation.Based on the above empirical findings,this study suggests that new media platforms should be ef-ficiently used to form a public opinion effect to constrain the environmental behaviors of enterprises and force them to engage in green transformation and upgrading.Local governments should offer official channels to encourage their interactions,optimize the use of envi-ronmental regulation tools,improve their synergy with public environmental participation and their adaptability to the environment,and assist enterprises in selecting green transformation modes that match their own endowments.This will enable them to move from passive governance to active transformation.
