Corporate environmental responsibility is an important component of corporate social responsibility. Based on data from Chinese listed companies from 2010-2018, the relationship between the two was explored using a fixed-effects model, with the supply chain net cash ratio being used as a proxy variable for supply chain power. This study found that supply chain power has a significant positive impact on the environmental responsibility of upstream suppliers and downstream customers. There is a vertical spillover effect of supply chain power on corporate environmental responsibility. A stepwise regression approach was used to investigate the mediating effect of business performance between the two, and the bootstrap method was used to test the existence of the mediating effect. Firms can use their power in the supply chain to reasonably allocate profits in the supply chain, which not only helps them to fulfil their environmental responsibility but also influences other firms in the supply chain to fulfil their environmental responsibility.
企业环境责任是企业社会责任的重要组成部分。基于 2010-2018 年中国上市公司的数据，使用固定效应模型探讨了两者之间的关系，以供应链净现金比率作为供应链权力的代理变量。研究发现，供应链权力对上游供应商和下游客户的环境责任具有显著的正向影响。供应链权力对企业环境责任存在纵向溢出效应。采用逐步回归方法研究了两者之间的中介效应，采用自举法检验了中介效应的存在性。企业可以利用供应链中的权力，在供应链中合理分配利润，这不仅有助于企业履行环境责任，还影响供应链中的其他企业履行环境责任。
