Due to the stricter resource and environmental limitations, it is crucial for enterprises to undertake effective ecological environmental protection duties at the same time as seeking economic benefits. This topic has become an important issue in the study of sustainable business. By applying the theories of natural capital, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green innovation strategy as the theoretical basis, this paper comprehensively reviews the research achievements in the field of corporate environmental responsibility and constructs a three-dimensional integrated analytical framework of "motivation-capability-context". The results are as follows: (1) The theory of natural capital modifies the traditional idea that ecological environment is an external factor of economic development, offering a scientific basis for corporate environmental strategies; (2) There is a significant positive interactive effect between ESG performance and green technological innovation, where R&D investment and information disclosure play a key role as the transmission channels; (3) The interaction between regulatory pressures, stakeholder's expectations from the market and internal corporate abilities jointly influences the environmental responsibility behaviour and decisions of enterprises. According to the above analytical framework, some policy suggestions such as improving environmental information disclosure regulations, strengthening green financial incentive systems and promoting the cooperative management of green supply chains have been put forward. These proposals provide theoretical basis and practical references for helping enterprises to achieve their green transformation.

Agricultural carbon emissions are a key issue in global climate governance. New quality productive forces in agriculture, an advanced productivity form driven by scientific and technological innovation, significantly directly inhibit agricultural carbon emissions by promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of agricultural production methods. Employing panel data spanning from 2010 to 2023 across 31 provincial - level administrative units in China (including autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), this research paper systematically assesses the influence, transmission processes, and spatial attributes of the new - quality productive forces in the agricultural sector on agricultural carbon emissions. It achieves this by utilizing two - way fixed - effects models, mediation - effects models, and spatial Durbin models. The conclusions are as follows: (1) The emergence of novel, high - quality productive forces in the agricultural sector exerts a substantial direct suppressive impact on agricultural carbon emissions. This effect remains stable even after addressing endogeneity issues and conducting multiple robustness verifications. (2) The enhancement of agricultural total factor productivity and the optimization of agricultural industrial agglomeration are two parallel mediating transmission pathways; (3) The carbon reduction effect of new quality productive forces in agriculture has significant regional heterogeneity, with a stronger inhibitory effect in northern China than in southern China; (4) It has a significant spatial spillover effect, which can not only suppress local carbon emissions, but also play a radiating driving role in adjacent regions. This paper provides systematic theoretical framework and empirical evidence for understanding the carbon reduction effect of new quality productive forces in agriculture.
