Abstract: This study constructs a mediation effect model and empirically analyses the relationship between corporate litigation risk, institutional investor shareholding and ESG performance using data from Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies. The results show that corporate litigation risk significantly negatively impacts ESG performance, while institutional investor shareholding plays an important mediating role. This finding reveals the intrinsic mechanism of corporate litigation risk affecting ESG performance and provides new perspectives and ideas for theoretical research and practical guidance in related fields.
