Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant risks and challenges to businesses. In order to restore the supply chain, this paper incorporates social, environmental, and governance (ESG) factors into the study of corporate supply chains. The aim is to explore the factors that influence supply-chain resilience and performance from these three perspectives, with a particular focus on the role of willingness to adopt green innovation technologies. To encompass a wider audience and multiple industry sectors, this study employs a questionnaire survey method, targeting managers of Chinese companies, and utilizes analytical tools such as SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 for data analysis and validation. The research findings indicate that supply-chain collaboration, supply-chain management capabilities, supply-chain risks, and green-product innovation have a positive impact on a firm’s willingness to adopt innovative technologies, subsequently leading to positive effects on supply-chain resilience and performance. By incorporating ESG factors into the scope of supply-chain research, this study expands the research domain and scope of ESG. Additionally, enhancing corporate social responsibility awareness and sustainable development consciousness holds great significance for the recovery of enterprise supply-chain development. This study also offers new insights for businesses to enhance their supply-chain management.
