Applying assurance standards and regulatory oversight analogous to financial reporting will improve environmental data quality.
Normative recommendation; argument by analogy to financial assurance practices; no empirical assessment included.
Standardization (common taxonomies, units, definitions) and machine-readability are necessary to ensure comparability of environmental disclosures.
Methodological recommendation based on conceptual analysis of data interoperability issues; no empirical demonstration provided.
Treating environmental data with the same rigor as financial data (governance, standardization, auditing) would markedly improve investor, regulator, and public agency ability to assess environmental pressures, hold firms accountable, and align capital with sustainability objectives.
Conceptual causal claim argued from analogy to financial reporting; no empirical testing provided in the paper.
Corporate sustainability reporting is a powerful lever for changing corporate behavior; improving it can influence investment flows and corporate practice.

Heterogeneity analysis by ownership type (SOE vs non‑SOE) showing larger and more significant coefficients for SOEs in the SCD effect on green innovation.
Carbon information disclosure (CID) is a key mediating channel: SCD increases the likelihood and quality of CID, which in turn promotes substantive green innovation.
Mediation analysis using observed CID indicators (likelihood/quality of carbon disclosure) in a causal pathway framework; SCD raised CID metrics in first-stage regressions and CID was positively associated with subsequent substantive green innovation in mediation tests.
Practical recommendation: incorporate uncertainty quantification (e.g., confidence intervals, Bayesian approaches) for ESG features in economic and ML models to reflect disclosure unreliability.
Applied recommendation in the implications section based on observed noise and manipulation risk in ESG data; not empirically tested in this review.
Market design and regulation should standardize ESG reporting and require audit/assurance, and AI can be used to monitor compliance at scale and target audits.

The pilot policy is associated with increases in firm-level ESG scores and green-investment flows (direct effects of policy on the mediators).
Reduced-form DID estimates using ESG scores and green-investment flows as dependent variables show positive, statistically significant treatment effects.
When executives have both high green cognition and high digital cognition, the two cognitions reinforce each other, producing a significantly positive enabling effect on the policy's impact (facilitating integrated green+digital innovation and reducing adjustment frictions).
Triple-interaction or subgroup analysis combining high-green and high-digital executive cognition indicators within the DID framework, showing a significant positive effect larger than either cognition alone.
High executive green cognition strengthens the marginal positive effect of the green data center pilot policy on firms' energy utilization efficiency.
Moderation analysis interacting the policy treatment with an executive-level green-cognition measure in DID regressions; positive and significant interaction coefficients reported.
The policy effect on energy utilization efficiency is more pronounced for mature-stage firms than for early-stage firms.
Subsample analysis by firm life-cycle stage (firm-level lifecycle classification) showing statistically larger policy effects for mature firms in the DID estimates.
Firms operating in more competitive industries experience larger energy-efficiency gains from the green data center pilot policy.
Heterogeneity tests by industry competition (industry-level competition measure) within the DID framework, showing larger policy coefficients for firms in high-competition industries.
The policy's positive impact on energy utilization efficiency is stronger in resource-based cities than in non-resource-based cities.
Heterogeneity analysis splitting the sample by city type (resource-based indicator) and estimating DID effects separately; larger and statistically stronger coefficients reported for resource-based city subsample.
Policy-induced increases in firms' green investment constitute another primary channel through which the pilot policy improves energy utilization efficiency.
Mediation/channel analysis using firm green-investment flow measures in DID regressions; policy assignment is associated with increases in green investment and these increases account for part of the policy's effect on energy efficiency.
Improved firm ESG performance mediates part of the positive effect of the green data center pilot policy on corporate energy utilization efficiency.
Regression-based mediation tests within the DID framework using firm-level ESG scores as the mediator; inclusion of ESG reduces the estimated policy coefficient and mediator effects are reported as significant.
