Abstract

Against the backdrop of global industrial transfer, industrial parks undertake environmentally polluting industries and promote rapid development of regional economies. With the mature development of industrial parks and the restriction of resources and energy, green transformation of industrial parks has become particularly important. This study uses panel data from Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2019 as a sample. It adopts a grey correlation analysis method to analyze the factors influencing green collaborative development between enterprises and industrial parks. The results show that (1) the coordinated development of industry and the ecological environment in industrial parks must rely on active participation from relevant governance entities, including enterprises and the park itself. (2) The factors that influence enterprises and parks to jointly promote green development include capital investment, technological progress, and industrial structure adjustment. However, capital investment has the most significant impact on green development. Based on these findings, we propose that the government should increase green capital investment on the one hand. On the other hand, positive and effective measures should be taken to promote enterprises' green technology innovation and industrial structure adjustment and upgrading to achieve a win-win situation for both environmental protection and economic development.
