It is found that transformation of digit has a significant impact on the level of corporate ESG accomplishment, but its effect is moderated by the external environment and corporate characteristics, showing heterogeneity. Furthermore, digital transformation has different effects on ESG performance. The study also points out that enhancing firms' dynamic capabilities serves as a distinct route and mechanism by which digital transformation exerts a leverage on the ESG performance, which indicates the level of environmental, social, and governance. The paper concludes by presenting the limitations of investigation in existence and the outlook of forthcoming research. It suggests that enterprises customize their strategies and that governments provide support to promote sustainable development jointly.
