ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the relationship between enterprise ESG performance and green credit ability under the background of the development of new quality productivity. By analyzing the direction of enterprise transformation, the change of ESG evaluation mode, and the subject competition and cooperation relationship of green credit access conditions, the theoretical framework and model are constructed. The game theory model is used to explore the interaction between enterprises, banks and ESG evaluation institutions, and the association of new quality productivity, ESG level and green credit capacity is analyzed with the help of the intermediary effect model. The study found that the development of new quality productivity has a significant impact on the green credit ability of enterprises, and the ESG level plays an intermediary role. This study provides theoretical and practical guidance for the sustainable development of enterprises and the improvement of the green financial system.
