摘要

本研究旨在实证检验环境、社会和治理(ESG)作为一种有效的战略,以减少资本成本(COC)和系统风险形式的公司主要障碍,特别是对印度等新兴市场。设计/方法/方法研究中使用了基于汤森路透分类(TRBC)的八个主要行业的114家印度公司样本。采用具有行业固定效应的面板回归来解释行业异质性。为了稳健性,作者还进行了匹配样本分析。结果ESG绩效与COC和系统性风险分别呈显著负相关。对于柱式分析,作者观察到只有治理绩效与COC呈显著负相关,而环境和社会绩效与COC呈显著负相关。对于beta的ESG支柱水平分析,作者观察到所有支柱都是负的和显著的,从而为公司如何根据每个支柱调整其ESG战略提供了一个案例。由于ESG概念仍处于非常初级的阶段,数据的可用性在印度无疑是一个挑战。随着ESG与多个利益相关者的关系越来越密切,本研究旨在提供证据,以潜在地指导监管机构、从业者和学者解决这些利益相关者的当代需求,同时也为传统意义上的公司带来好处。对新兴经济体来说,向可持续经济转型是一项挑战,尤其是对印度这样的国家来说,利益相关者不仅多种多样,而且数量庞大。这项研究有助于逐步理解ESG,印度监管机构和政策制定者可以提出ESG合规要求,这对公司来说是有益的,并给他们足够的动力来遵守ESG规范。现有的ESG文献主要讨论ESG绩效与财务绩效之间的关系。本研究解决了印度背景下ESG与COC和beta关系的空白。

Shrinking the capital costs and beta risk impediments through ESG: study of an emerging market
Purpose This study aims to empirically examine environment, social, and governance (ESG) as an effective strategy to reduce major impediments for a corporation in the form of costs of capital (COC) and systematic risk, especially for emerging markets such as India. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 114 Indian firms from eight prominent industries based on Thomson Reuters classification (TRBC) are used in the study. A panel regression with industry-fixed effects is carried out to account for industry heterogeneity. For robustness, the authors also carry out a matched sample analysis. Findings The authors observe a negative and significant relationship between ESG performance with COC and systematic risk, respectively. For the pillar-wise analysis, the authors observe that only governance performance is negatively and significantly related to COC whereas the environmental and social performances are negative and insignificant. For ESG pillar level analysis for beta, the authors observe that all pillars are negative and significant, thus making a case for how firms can fine-tune their ESG strategies according to each pillar. Research limitations/implications As the ESG concept is still in a very nascent stage, data availability is a definite challenge in India. Practical implications As ESG is increasingly becoming relevant for multiple stakeholders, this study aims to provide evidence that can potentially guide the regulators, practitioners, and academicians to address the contemporary needs of these stakeholders, while also doing good for the firm in the traditional sense. Social implications The transition to a sustainable economy is a challenge for emerging economies, especially for a country like India where stakeholders are not only varied but also huge in number. With this study's contribution towards an incremental understanding of ESG, Indian regulators and policymakers can bring forward mandates as to ESG compliances that are rewarding for the firms and give them enough impetus towards complying with ESG norms. Originality/value The extant literature on ESG majorly discusses the relationship between ESG performance and financial performance. This study addresses the lacuna of the relationship of ESG with COC and beta in the Indian context.
