The development of digital technology and the upgrading of consumer service demand have led to profound changes in the supply chain, gradually forming a supply chain ecosystem and transforming the cooperation model between enterprises into ecological cooperation. Amidst the complex international landscape and industrial transformation, the role of the government has garnered significant attention. Therefore, how to enhance ecological cooperation in the supply chain in the new development stage and how the government operates in this process have become important topics. First, we cover the strategies of governments, suppliers, and manufacturers and build a three-party evolutionary game model. The ideal event is then defined in the model, the key influences on the dynamic evolutionary process are examined, and the main findings are drawn. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of a few chosen parameters is fully discussed. This article demonstrates that (1) the government plays a significant role in encouraging supply chain enterprises to cooperate ecologically and can influence the equilibrium of the whole system by adjusting the subsidy coefficient and the cost of regulation; (2) the greater the eco-sensitivity is, the more advantageous it is for eco-cooperation; (3) setting a reasonable compensation fee between enterprises is an effective means to ensure that eco-cooperation is carried out; and (4) a company's cost investment in eco-cooperation is an important influencing factor on whether it engages in eco-collaboration.
