In the process of promoting the reform of the "dual-carbon" target, realizing the mutual promotion and synergistic development of corporate ESG performance, government subsidies, and green innovation performance is not only an inevitable strategic choice for enterprises to obtain higher quality development but also the key to ensuring economic and social benefits. The relationship model between corporate ESG performance, government subsidies, and green innovation performance is constructed and empirically tested using A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2012 to 2021 as the research object. Countermeasures are proposed to strengthen corporate ESG performance and further improve corporate green innovation performance.
