It uses Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share-listed companies as research samples. An unbalanced panel data set from 2011 to 2018 was constructed to empirically test the effect of digital transformation on the environmental performance of enterprises.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n The findings reveal the following. First, digital transformation can significantly improve the environmental performance of enterprises. Second, green technological innovation sharing plays an intermediary role between digital transformation and enterprise environmental performance. Third, when the level of digitization is high, the sharing effect of green technology innovation brought about by digital technology is stronger and enterprises tend to carry out cooperative green technology innovation. Lastly, the level of development of regional science and technology finance plays a positive regulatory role in digital transformation and enterprise environmental performance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n This paper first proposes that green technology innovation-sharing is an important mechanism that can significantly improve enterprises' environmental performance. The authors empirically examine the mechanism and analyze the heterogeneity of the impact of digitalization level on enterprises' environmental performance. The authors also discuss the moderating effect of regional technology and finance development levels on the relationship between digitalization and enterprises' environmental performance.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/imds-03-2023-0187","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,12]],"date-time":"2023-10-12T06:22:31Z","timestamp":1697091751000},"page":"3137-3163","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Research on the mechanism of\u00a0digital transformation to\u00a0improve enterprise environmental performance"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"123","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7905-341X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiaping","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7035-5067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingting","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6300-8060","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junjie","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2023120405532853400_ref001","article-title":"Does family matter?
