這項研究探討了環境、社會及公司治理（ESG）參與對可再生能源領域綠色創新的影響，並利用專利活動作為衡量標準。研究使用回歸模型分析2019年至2022年間八個國家或地區（加拿大、中國、丹麥、香港、印度、以色列、韓國、挪威、瑞士、英國和美國）上市公司之數據。這些數據包括來自Refinitiv的Thomson Reuters ASSET4數據庫之ESG資訊，以及來自美國專利及商標局（USPTO）之專利資訊。
研究結果表明，較好的ESG評分與專利申請數量的增加之間存在直接關聯，這意味著ESG能夠促進創新。此外，研究亦揭示可再生能源配額標準（Renewable Portfolio Standard）和淨計量電價（Net-metering）規定對ESG參與和創新之間的關聯有正面影響。
該研究強調了政府在推動ESG整合和促進強大的創新生態系統方面提供支持的必要性。這項研究還增強了對ESG實踐、政府法規與可再生能源行業可持續發展之間複雜關係的理解。

This study investigates the impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) participation on green innovation in the renewable energy sector, utilising patent activity as a measure. The research utilises regression models to analyse data from publicly traded companies in eight countries or regions (Canada, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Korea, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States) from 2019 to 2022. The data includes ESG information from the Thomson Reuters ASSET4 database in Refinitiv and patent counts from the United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO).
The findings indicate a direct correlation between better ESG scores and a rise in patent applications, implying that resilient ESG procedures stimulate creativity. The study additionally reveals that Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and Net-Metering regulations have a favourable impact on the connection between ESG involvement and innovation.
The study emphasises the necessity for governments to provide assistance for the integration of ESG and promote strong and dynamic innovation ecosystems. This study also enhances the comprehension of the intricate relationship between ESG practices, governmental legislation, and sustainable advancements in the renewable energy industry.
