摘要：
This research investigates the influence of digital transformation on corporate ESG performance, with emphasis on dual environmental regulations' moderating effects, using data from Chinese companies (2011-2020). The results show that digital transformation significantly boosts ESG performance, a finding that persists across various model specifications. The study highlights the amplifying role of both formal and informal environmental regulations in this dynamic, with informal regulations having a stronger effect. This work fills a gap in literature and suggests that environmental regulations are key in leveraging digital transformation for improved ESG outcomes, providing important policy insights.
