However, existing studies often examine digital transformation and ESG in isolation, resulting in insufficient exploration of their synergistic effects. Based on data from manufacturing high-tech enterprises, this study employs necessary condition analysis (NCA) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (FsQCA) to systematically examine the synergistic effects of digital transformation and ESG on enterprise green innovation. The key findings are as follows: (1) While no single factor constitutes a necessary condition for high green innovation, the elements of social governance and digital management demonstrate universal applicability in enabling enterprises to achieve high levels of green innovation. (2) The dual-core-driven configuration achieves green innovation through the synergy between social governance and digital management, with its specific pathways varying according to the coordinated combinations of auxiliary factors. This delineates three distinct types, including compliance-oriented, environmentally empowered, and comprehensively balanced pathways. (3) The digitally driven configuration establishes an endogenous linkage between technological innovation and green development through the deep coupling of digital technology R&amp;D and application. (4) The low green innovation configuration exhibits insufficient efficacy due to either isolated single elements or the absence of digital management, resulting in suboptimal green innovation performance. This study empirically demonstrates that the effective advancement of green innovation fundamentally relies on the endogenous dynamics of social governance, the technological underpinnings of digital management, and the systemic synergy among key elements, offering significant strategic implications for enterprises to develop differentiated green innovation approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13090740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]],"date-time":"2025-08-26T14:43:18Z","timestamp":1756219398000},"page":"740","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Synergistic Empowerment of Digital Transformation and ESG on Enterprise Green Innovation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1234-3989","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zixin","family":"Dou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of International Finance, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1809-9566","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuaishuai","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of International Finance, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122322","DOI":"10.1016\/j.techfore.2023.122322","article-title":"The impact of extreme weather events on green innovation: Which ones bring to the most harm?","volume":"188","author":"Wen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Technol.
