Abstract

In recent years, both enterprises and academia have focused their attention on green innovation, but few studies have explored at the conditions and mechanisms that explain the relationship between major customers (suppliers) and green innovation. Based on the research perspective of supply chain management, this paper explores the impact of major customers (major suppliers) on corporate green innovation through an empirical study, using Chinese A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2020 as a sample. Our results indicate that both major customers and major suppliers have negative effects on green innovation. The negative impacts of major customers and major suppliers on green innovation are mediated by R&D investment. The results of the heterogeneity test show that the negative effect of major customers (major suppliers) on green innovation is more significant in the sample of enterprises with low digital transformation, suggesting that enterprises may consider digital transformation to promote green innovation activities.
