This study investigates the impact of carbon accounting and green finance on the sustainable development index (SDI) of 500 Chinese publicly listed companies from 2010 to 2020. Using the fully modified OLS methodology, the findings reveal a positive correlation between carbon accounting and SDI. However, the number of employees and resource consumption negatively affect SDI. The study recommends policies to expand green finance markets using fintech and big data, improve corporate sustainability management, invest in green energy, and establish an efficient green taxation system.
