Abstract
This study investigates how supplier concentration impacts corporate carbon emissions. Our finding reveals that firms with a more concentrated supplier base have significantly higher carbon emission intensity. Our results remain consistent after adopting several robustness tests. Moreover, supplier concentration increases carbon emission intensity by increasing energy consumption and reducing green innovation activities. Further evidence indicates that this relationship is more significant among companies with higher financial constraints and lower profitability.
