The Impact of ESG on the Green Innovation Performance of Enterprises—A Visualization Study Based on CiteSpace

随着全球可持续发展议程的持续推进，ESG发展理念在企业战略布局中愈发重要，其对企业绿色创新绩效的影响成为学界和企业界关注的焦点。本研究依托CiteSpace软件强大的分析功能，对Web of Science核心合集、中国知网数据库中的相关文献进行挖掘，以可视化分析呈现信息，帮助学界清晰把握该领域的研究脉络挖掘前沿热点与潜在研究方向。通过对关键词共现、聚类分析和文献共被引分析，研究发现，过往文献围绕ESG评级体系、绿色创新驱动机制以及二者关系调节因素等展开了广泛研究。目前，大数据与人工智能技术在ESG信息披露和绿色创新管理中的应用，以及不同制度环境下ESG对企业绿色创新影响的异质性，逐渐成为新的研究热点。本研究为相关领域学者明晰研究方向，为企业制定基于ESG的绿色创新战略提供直观的文献综述与理论支撑，助力推动可持续发展研究和实践的深入开展。With the continuous advancement of the global sustainable development agenda, the ESG development concept has become increasingly important in corporate strategic planning. Its impact on corporate green innovation performance has become a focal point of attention in both academic and business circles. Relying on the powerful analytical functions of the CiteSpace software, this study mines the relevant literature in the Web of Science Core Collection and the CNKI database, and presents the information through visual analysis to help the academic community clearly grasp the research context in this field, and to explore the frontier hotspots and potential research directions. Through keyword co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, and bibliographic co-citation analysis, the study finds that previous literature has extensively explored topics such as the ESG rating system, the driving mechanisms of green innovation, and the moderating factors of the relationship between ESG and green innovation. Currently, the application of big data and artificial intelligence technologies in ESG information disclosure and green innovation management, as well as the heterogeneity of the impact of ESG on corporate green innovation under different institutional environments, has gradually emerged as new research hotspots. This study clarifies the research directions for scholars in related fields, provides an intuitive literature review and theoretical support for enterprises to formulate green innovation strategies based on ESG, and contributes to promoting in-depth research and practice in the field of sustainable development.
