Abstract: Digital transformation, as a powerful catalyst for the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, has emerged as a crucial driver for enterprise transformation and upgrading, as well as reshaping the competitive landscape. Drawing on data from Chinese A-share listed companies between 2010 and 2019, this study empirically examines the relationship between digital transformation and corporate environmental performance, as well as its underlying impact mechanisms. The findings indicate that digital transformation significantly enhances the level of corporate environmental performance. Moreover, corporate digital transformation facilitates the improvement of environmental performance by enhancing green technology innovation capabilities and optimizing production structures. The positive impact on environmental performance is particularly pronounced in state-owned enterprises, high-growth companies, those with substantial research and development investments, and those garnering high analyst attention.
