企业ESG“漂绿”行为是指企业在环境、社会与治理(ESG)方面通过策略性的失实、片面或夸大的披露方式以塑造出优于真实表现的公共形象。随着ESG理念在全球普及,企业ESG“漂绿”行为引起了学术界和实务界的共同关注。本文创新性地基于信息质量特征,构建了一个企业ESG“漂绿”行为的分类框架,围绕“相关性”“如实反映”“可比性”“可验证性”“及时性”与“可理解性”六个维度梳理其表现形式,并系统总结了识别与测度方法。进一步地,本文基于“成本—收益”分析框架,从政府、投资者、管理者及消费者等多重利益相关者视角,剖析了企业从事“漂绿”行为的内在动因与外部激励,并指出企业在通过该行为获取短期收益的同时,也会对企业自身、社会治理及资本市场带来负面后果。在此基础上,本文从外部治理和内部治理两个维度,系统阐述了治理企业“漂绿”行为的机制。本文不仅为识别与治理企业ESG“漂绿”行为提供了整合性分析框架,也为未来研究在测度方法、动因机制与治理路径等方面指出了可能的方向。
