However, traditional ESG reporting practices in the chemical industry are often fragmented, manually intensive, and limited in real-time transparency. The rapid advancement of digital technologies provides new opportunities to transform ESG disclosure into a datadriven and integrated reporting system. This study proposes a digital transformation framework for ESG reporting in the chemical industry, emphasizing the integration of enterprise resource planning systems, blockchain-based traceability, big data analytics, and automated sustainability dashboards. The research develops a conceptual model linking digital infrastructure capability, ESG data quality, reporting transparency, and stakeholder trust. Using a quantitative approach, the study employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationships among digitalization level, ESG reporting efficiency, and organizational performance indicators. Empirical findings indicate that digital integration significantly improves ESG data accuracy, reduces reporting costs, and enhances transparency. Moreover, improved digital ESG reporting positively influences stakeholder confidence and corporate sustainability performance. The proposed framework contributes to the literature by bridging digital transformation theory and ESG reporting research within high-impact industrial sectors. The study provides practical recommendations for chemical enterprises seeking to enhance sustainability governance through digital technologies and offers policy implications for promoting standardized digital ESG ecosystems.
