Abstract
This study examines the influence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on corporate trade credit financing based on Chinese A-share listed companies' data from 2018 to 2022. The empirical results revealed that enterprises with better ESG performance receive more trade credit from suppliers. This study found that ESG performance has a significant effect on trade credit in customer industries, polluting industries, and enterprises with high supplier concentration and low government grants. The Mechanism analysis indicated that ESG performance minimizes information and agency risks, thereby affecting trade credit. Further examination indicated that a firm's degree of maturity weakens the beneficial influence of ESG performance on trade credit and that a substitution relationship exists between corporate maturity and ESG performance in trade credit financing.
