ESG Impact on Market Performance of Firms: International Evidence

Abstract: This study investigates how news-based scores in ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance) may have influenced the monthly stocks’ market return in Switzerland, the US, and the UK during the 2007–2011 period. We find that the variation of the overall ESG score is only significant in the UK. We also show that the changes in sub-category ratings of GRI (namely, governance, economic, environment, labor, human rights, society, and products) exhibit a small but significant impact on the stock’s performa… Show more

“…Indeed, CG and CSR share common roots and interests in that they stress the necessity for corporations to be sufficiently accountable to particular stakeholder groups and the wider society (Brammer and Pavelin, 2013;Khanchel El Mehdi, 2013). Under the CSR and CG umbrella, companies are urged to commit themselves to issues ranging from accountability to market performance (Jamali et al, 2008;Sahut and Pasquini-Descomps, 2015).…”

“…N oting the increasingly significant expectations of diverse stakeholder groups, companies steadily seek to account for their engagement in corporate social responsibility (El Abboubi, 2013) and demonstrate their commitment to good corporate governance (Khanchel El Mehdi, 2013). These corporate commitments correspond to the main orientations that companies adopt when making decisions, relative to all stakeholders, or appealing to privileged ones such as investors (Sahut and Pasquini-Descomps, 2015). In focusing on shareholder value maximization or trying to manage the interests of multiple stakeholders (Jamali, 2006), companies tend to employ different models of corporate governance (CG) while striving to integrate corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues into their internal CG system .…”

“…En effet, au moment où les grandes entreprises cotées font l'objet de notations sociales, de nombreuses questions subsistent quant aux effets de la prise en compte des dimensions sociales sur leur performance (Sahut et Pasquini-Descomps;2015). Bien que cette problématique soit récurrente dans les grandes entreprises, elle est de plus en plus abordée pour les PME.…”

“…Dans l'ensemble, les travaux empiriques montrent que l'appropriation des pratiques de RSE influence positivement et légèrement les performances éco-nomique, sociale et sociétale, des firmes, même si les bénéfices sont plus intangibles pour les PME que pour les grandes sociétés (Sahut et Pasquini-Descomps;2015, Margolis et al;2007, Tixier;2002, Preston et O'Bannon;1997, Griffin et Mahon;1997, Pava et Krausz;1996). Cependant, malgré l'importance de la prise en compte de ce nouveau mode de management, il n'y a que très peu d'études qui se sont intéressées à la RSE dans le contexte (INS, 2011 1 ).…”
