| Abstract | Against the backdrop of global carbon reduction, China, as the country with the highest carbon emissions, must implement carbon reduction actions more efficiently to promote the sustainable development of the global environment. Balancing their economic and environmental benefits has become an important issue for corporations, as they are crucial entities in the final implementation of carbon reduction efforts. This study selects the data of listed companies in China from 2012 to 2022 and develops a two-way fixed-effects model to verify the effect of digital transformation on corporate carbon reduction performance. The study found that digital transformation can positively promote corporate carbon reduction performance and shows heterogeneity under different conditions. Green technology innovation plays a mediating role in the relationship between digital transformation and corporate carbon reduction performance. Furthermore, environmental subsidies play a positive moderating role in the relationship between digital transformation and green technology innovation, constituting a moderated mediation model. Meanwhile, tax reduction incentives play a positive moderating role in the relationship between digital transformation and promoting corporate carbon reduction performance. This study provides empirical suggestions for balancing economic and environmental benefits for 5323 Chinese listed companies and global corporations from both internal and external perspectives, emphasizing the potential for digital transformation to drive both commercial success and environmental stewardship in the pursuit of sustainable development goals. |
