Abstract

In recent years, firms have increased their investments in environmental, social, and governance activities. Using a large sample of large US firms, this paper investigates the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on firms' SG activities. First, we investigate whether the pandemic induced firms to increase their environmental, social, and governmental investment. Our initial results reveal that firms increase their environmental, social, and governance activities despite the financial challenges during the pandemic. However, further investigation demonstrates that a general increase in social investments drives our initial results. Also, our findings indicate that, with respect to environmental, social, and governance activities, the pandemic affected industries in different ways. Limitations and directions for future studies are also provided.
大流行期间的ESG评分
近年来,企业增加了对环境、社会和治理活动的投资。本文使用大型美国公司的大样本,调查了COVID-19大流行对公司SG活动的影响。首先,我们调查了疫情是否促使企业增加环境、社会和政府投资。我们的初步结果显示,尽管大流行期间面临财务挑战,企业仍增加了环境、社会和治理活动。然而,进一步的调查表明,社会投资的普遍增加推动了我们的初步结果。此外,我们的研究结果表明,就环境、社会和治理活动而言,疫情以不同的方式影响了行业。指出了研究的局限性和未来的研究方向。
