ESG performance and corporate risk-taking: Evidence from China

Feng He et al.

Summary: Corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is crucial for sustainable growth, and the motivation behind corporate ESG engagement determines whether it is genuine or just greenwashing. This study explores the motivation of corporate ESG engagement in terms of risk-taking. Analyzing data from Chinese publicly listed firms between 2010 and 2020, it is found that ESG rating significantly reduces corporate risk-taking, even after considering potential endogeneity concerns. The impact of ESG on risk-taking is more significant in firms with lower information transparency, weaker corporate governance, and less external monitoring pressure, highlighting the trade-off between sustainable growth and risk-taking in a weak investor protection institutional environment.

Corporate ESG performance and trade credit financing-Evidence from China

Chunhua Luo et al.

Summary: This paper examines how firms' comprehensive ESG ratings affect their access to trade credit in the Chinese market. Analyzing data from publicly listed companies between 2011 and 2019, the study shows that higher ESG performance significantly increases the likelihood of obtaining trade credit. These findings remain robust even after conducting various tests. Additionally, ESG contributes to trade credit by reducing information asymmetry, enhancing operational efficiency, and mitigating risk. The study provides practical implications for promoting ESG participation during the ongoing carbon emission transition period.
