Abstract: This paper explores how green investment impacts corporate sustainable development using data from China's A-share listed companies (2009–2023). It finds an inverted U-shaped relationship, suggesting moderate green investment best enhances sustainability. Strict environmental regulations and low financing constraints boost positive effects. The study innovatively examines green investment's impact on financial and environmental performance, revealing its complex mechanisms. This research expands understanding of performance outcomes and offers insights for optimizing green investment strategies to promote sustainable enterprise development.
