As global sustainable development frameworks continue to be integrated into international trade and supply chain governance, ESG disclosure is increasingly becoming a vital support for enterprises seeking to expand into international markets. Standardized disclosure can enhance cross-border information transparency, reduce transaction costs, strengthen compliance signaling, and bolster market expansion capabilities through the accumulation of reputation and relationship assets. However, there are still several challenges, including inadequate alignment with international regulatory frameworks, imperfect data collection and verification mechanisms, insufficient coverage of supply chain information, and a disconnection between disclosure practices and international business operations. It is essential to strengthen the alignment of international rules, improve data governance and supply chain ESG management, and integrate disclosure outcomes into international business decision-making processes, thereby transforming the advantages derived from ESG information into competitive advantages in the global marketplace.
