Abstract
This study investigates the impact of entrepreneurship on corporate ESG performance, emphasizing the roles of financing constraints and data assetization. Using panel data from Chinese listed firms (2010–2022) and addressing endogeneity using multiple estimation techniques, we find that entrepreneurship enhances ESG performance by alleviating financing constraints, enabling sustainable investments. Data assetization further strengthens this relationship by optimizing resource utilization and fostering innovation. This paper highlights the pivotal role of entrepreneurship and, based on the resource-based view, provides a novel analysis to inform the future advancement of corporate ESG initiatives.
