How can social responsibility enhance the green value of financial enterprises? Empirical research based on the qualitative comparative analysis method

To this end, the present study adopts the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method on 26 domestic listed banks to examine the impact of social responsibility undertaking on the improvement of the green values of enterprises. The findings show that the promotion of green values of listed financial enterprises in China does not simply depend on a one-dimension social responsibility investment but requires a combination of multiple dimensions.
