Research on the Impact of Supply Chain Finance on Enterprises’ ESG Performance

With the continuous increase in global attention to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues, an enterprise’s ESG performance has become an important indicator for measuring its comprehensive competitiveness. As an innovative financial model that integrates the industrial chain and financial resources, supply chain finance not only improves the capital liquidity and resource allocation efficiency of enterprises but also plays a positive role in promoting the sustainable development of enterprises. Based on the operational characteristics and internal mechanisms of supply chain finance, this paper systematically analyzes its impact pathways on enterprises’ ESG performance, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical references for enterprises to improve their sustainable development strategies and for the government to optimize policy-making.
