摘要

目的本研究旨在分别考察董事会性别多样性对公司温室气体(GHG)绩效的影响,董事会中女性临界群体对碳绩效(CP)评分的影响及其三个组成部分(范围1、范围2和范围3)。本研究考察了机构投资者的存在作为一个偶然因素,该因素会增强CP上女性董事临界群体的有效性。设计/方法/方法使用2011-2018年在美国证券交易委员会上市的美国公司样本,共进行了2416次观察。本研究表明,达到临界数量的女性董事会成员会提高CP水平。此外,本研究发现,机构投资者的存在对这种关系起到了积极的调节作用。主要研究结果表明,女性董事的临界数量与CP之间存在非线性关系,机构投资者在形成这种关系中发挥着战略作用。分析了机构投资者对CP三个组成部分的影响。研究局限性/含义这项研究的特点是测量CP的定量变量所采用的方法。事实上,其他研究——与碳测量相关的指标——通常被用作简单的二元变量。这项研究验证了董事会内衡量多样性的临界质量理论、机构投资者对温室气体排放的存在(范围1、范围2和范围3)的一致性,而之前的研究(Tingbani et al.,2020;Nuber和Velte,2021)只关注碳排放的两个衡量标准(范围1和范围2)。原创性/价值这项研究同样表明,董事会中的性别多样性必须达到三名女性董事的临界数量,才能激励和影响CP。我们填补了之前关于公司制度环境在改善CP方面所起作用的研究空白。第三,这项研究强调了董事会中有足够数量的抗压女性董事的相关性,因为她们参与了气候变化问题和CP。

The power of critical mass to make a difference: how gender diversity in board affect US corporate carbon performance
Purpose This study aims to examine the impact of board gender diversity on company greenhouse gas (GHG) performance, the influence of a critical mass of women on boards on carbon performance (CP) score and its three components separately (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3). This study examines the presence of institutional investors as a contingent factor that intensifies the effectiveness of the critical mass of female directors on CP. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of the US companies listed on Securities and Exchange Commission for the period 2011–2018 and making a total of 2416 observations. This study shows that reaching a critical mass of female board members enhances the level of CP. In addition, this study finds that the presence of institutional investors positively moderates this relationship. Findings The main results suggest that there is a nonlinear relationship between a critical mass of women directors and CP, and that institutional investors play a strategic role in shaping this relationship. The effect of institutional investors on the three components of CP is also analyzed. Research limitations/implications This research is characterized by the methodology adopted for a quantitative variable for measuring CP. Indeed, other research the proxies related to carbon measurements are often used as a simple binary variable. This study verifies the harmony of the theory of critical mass measuring diversity within the board of directors, the presence of institutional investors on GHG emissions (Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3), unlike previous studies (Tingbani et al., 2020; Nuber and Velte, 2021) which only focus on the two measures of carbon emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2). Originality/value This study shows identically that gender diversity on the board must reach a critical mass of three women directors to motivate and influence CP. We fill the gap in previous research regarding the role played by the institutional environment of the firm in improving CP. Third, this study highlights the relevance of having a critical mass of pressure-resistant female directors on boards due to their engagement in climate change issues and CP.
