Abstract
Green innovation is critical for enterprises to achieve sustainable development, although academics and entrepreneurs often associate it with financial performance. However, more research is needed on the boundary and mechanism of the effect of environmental information disclosure on corporate green innovation. Based on the data of A-share listed companies from the years 2008–2022 in China, this study discusses the impact of environmental information disclosure on green innovation. It analyzes the moderating effects of external audit quality and media attention. The results show that environmental information disclosure promotes green innovation. Further, audit quality and media attention have a positive moderating effect. In addition, this effect is more evident in non-state and heavily polluting industries. Finally, alleviating financial constraints is a critical mechanism for how environmental information disclosure affects green innovation.
