Abstract

This paper selects the data of China's A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021 to explore the impact of enterprises' internationalization behaviors on their ESG performance. The study finds that internationalization activities promote the optimization of ESG performance;internationalization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the field of production and operation is more conducive to the enhancement of their own ESG performance than internationalization of non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs) at the level of their governance structure;especially in the manufacturing industry, has a more significant positive effect on ESG.
