This research draws on data from Chinese A-share listed manufacturing enterprises spanning from 2009 to 2020, and explores the effect of new media supervision on corporate green investment. Analysis indicates that new media supervision exerts a substantial impetus on green investment, and the influence is even more pronounced under the mediation of digital transformation.
