Opportunities and Challenges of Implementing Green Financial Management Models in Energy-Intensive Enterprises

Abstract

With global climate change and increasing resource constraints, sustainable development has become a global consensus. Energy-intensive enterprises, as major sources of resource consumption and environmental pollution, play a critical role in promoting coordinated economic, social, and environmental development through the implementation of green financial management models. This paper focuses on energy-intensive enterprises, employing a combination of case analysis and empirical research to explore the key opportunities and major challenges in adopting green financial management practices. Furthermore, the study conducts an in-depth analysis based on the development status and characteristics of energy-intensive enterprises and proposes corresponding strategies. The research finds that although green financial management faces challenges such as high initial investment and technical barriers, it can generate significant long-term value through optimized resource allocation and risk reduction. This paper reveals the unique aspects of green financial management in energy-intensive enterprises and proposes a cost-technology synergy strategy based on dynamic capability theory, providing empirical evidence for policymakers to design incentive mechanisms and for enterprises to guide practical implementation. The findings hold important theoretical and practical significance for advancing the green transformation of high-energy-consumption industries.
