The study finds that: inventive green technology innovation can promote ESG performance; product differentiation plays a part of the mediating effect in this driving process; heterogeneity analysis reveals that, in the development of enterprises in China’s central and western regions, the promotion effect of green technology innovation on corporate ESG performance is more significant.
