Abstract

This paper conducts an empirical analysis based on data from non-financial listed companies in China from 2010 to 2023, exploring in depth the impact mechanism of ESG rating discrepancies and institutional investors' shareholding on corporate sustainable development. The research findings indicate that ESG rating discrepancies significantly hinder corporate sustainable development, while institutional investors' shareholding demonstrates a notable positive effect on sustainable development. Further analysis reveals that institutional investors' shareholding plays an important moderating role between ESG rating discrepancies and corporate sustainable development, with a significant difference in this moderating effect between high-tech and non-high-tech enterprises. Additionally, the degree of impact of ESG rating discrepancies on corporate sustainable development shows significant differences between high-tech and non-high-tech enterprises.

ESG评级差异和机构投资者持股比例差异对企业可持续发展的影响

本文基于2010 - 2023年中国非金融类上市公司数据进行实证分析，深入探讨ESG评级差异和机构投资者持股对企业可持续发展的影响机制。研究发现，ESG评级差异显著阻碍企业可持续发展，而机构投资者持股对企业可持续发展具有显著的正向影响。进一步分析发现，机构投资者持股在ESG评级差异与企业可持续发展之间起着重要的调节作用，且这种调节作用在高新技术企业与非高新技术企业之间存在显著差异。此外，ESG评级差异对企业可持续发展的影响程度在高新技术企业和非高新技术企业之间存在显著差异。
