Based on the resource-based view and dynamic capability theory, this paper uses the panel data of Chinese A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2011 to 2024 to empirically examine the impact of corporate ESG performance on supply chain resilience and its mechanism. The research finds that corporate ESG performance significantly enhances supply chain resilience. The mechanism test shows that ESG practices strengthen supply chain resilience through three paths: "resource renewal (green technology upgrade) - resource reconfiguration (resource allocation optimization) - resource acquisition (corporate reputation improvement)". The research conclusion reveals the core value of ESG as a non-market strategy in building an autonomous and controllable supply chain.
