环境信息公开能够通过构建包含政府监管、企业自律与社会监督的多元主体协同治理体系,有效推动企业的绿色转型,从而促进经济高质量发展。文章在解析环境信息公开如何引致利益相关者调整行为策略,进而重塑企业成本与收益结构的基础上,构建了一个集外部压力、内部激励、多元主体协同效应于一体的综合性分析框架,并利用沪深A股上市公司数据,考察了环境信息公开对企业ESG表现的影响及作用机制。研究发现:第一,环境信息公开程度的提升对企业ESG表现具有显著的正向影响;第二,环境信息公开能够借助地方政府和社会公众的力量,形成对企业强有力的外部监督,进而提升企业的ESG表现;第三,环境信息公开能够倒逼企业采取一系列内部激励措施,包括开展绿色技术创新、聘任具有社会责任认同感的环保高管以及完善员工职业健康保障体系,进而提升企业的ESG表现;第四,多元主体间的协同机制能够强化环境信息公开对企业ESG表现的提升效应。文章的研究不仅为理解环境规制与企业绿色转型之间的内在联系提供了新的理论视角,也为完善环境信息披露制度、推动经济高质量发展提供了重要的决策参考。
