Abstract: This study examines the impact of green acquisitions on corporate carbon reduction, focusing on A-share listed companies from 2006 to 2022. The findings indicate that environmentally sustainable acquisitions contribute to carbon reduction by enhancing information transparency and fostering green innovation. This research provides insight into the microlevel dynamics of green acquisitions and offers practical recommendations for firms seeking to minimize their carbon footprint. Ultimately, green acquisitions play a crucial role in promoting sustainable business practices and mitigating the effects of climate change.
