Abstract

This study investigates the manufacturing companies in Guangdong Province on the mediating role of Corporate Social Responsibility in the relationship between Environmental Regulation Intensity and Green Economic Efficiency.

The findings support three key hypotheses which are: Environmental Regulation Intensity positively influence Green Economic Efficiency, Corporate Social Responsibility positively impacts Green Economic Efficiency, and Corporate Social Responsibility plays as a mediating role between Environmental Regulation Intensity and Green Economic Efficiency. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers in designing effective environmental regulations, and help business develop sustainable strategies in an increasingly eco-conscious market.
