Abstract: This paper examines the impact mechanism of the proportion of female executives on ESG investment. The results show that when female executives play a greater role in management, ESG performance improves. This effect is an inverted U-shape, and the critical point is approximately 33%. Female executives have significantly promoted the digitization of enterprises, which is an important mechanism for explaining the improvement of ESG performance.
