This research examines the relationship between economic policy uncertainty and green innovation, highlighting the mediating effect of corporate social responsibility. The results indicate a pronounced negative correlation between the two, with firms reducing green efforts during periods of heightened policy uncertainty. However, higher corporate social responsibility ratings moderate this effect, highlighting firms' unwavering commitment to green initiatives in the face of uncertainty. The findings advocate for prudent policymaking and promotion of corporate social responsibility to support green efforts amidst fluctuating economic scenarios.
