The Role of ESG Strategy Implementation in Long-Term Value Creation for Companies

Abstract

In the context of increasing global focus on sustainable development, companies face new challenges and opportunities in creating long-term value. As a core framework for sustainable development, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies are gradually becoming key factors in enhancing long-term value for businesses. This paper systematically explores the role of ESG strategies in long-term value creation, with a focus on analyzing their impact on financial performance, brand reputation, innovation capability, and emerging market opportunities. Through an in-depth analysis of ESG strategy implementation, this paper reveals new opportunities arising from green finance and investment, sustainable supply chain development, policy support, and digital transformation, and proposes specific application strategies for businesses in these areas. The research findings indicate that ESG strategies can not only optimize financial performance and brand image but also drive technological innovation and business model transformation, thus laying a solid foundation for long-term value creation.
