Abstract Text This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) in China. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset, the paper explores the conducive effect of ESG practices on OFDI deals, highlighting that firms with higher ESG scores are more likely to engage in OFDI activities. The analysis also reveals that the negative impact of COVID-19 on OFDI and private companies are more inclined to participate in OFDI compared to state-owned enterprises. The study’s findings contribute to the understanding of the interplay between responsible investment, ESG factors, and FDI, offering insights into the Chinese market.
