Abstract: Using data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022, this paper investigates the relationship between market competition and corporate ESG performance. The findings indicate that market competition positively influences corporate ESG performance, with notable disparities in its impact on state-owned versus non-state-owned enterprises. Additionally, the study reveals that board independence enhances corporate ESG performance and mediates the relationship between market competition and corporate ESG performance.
