Abstract

This study aims to investigate the ambiguous relationship between corporate sustainable practices [in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions] and their financial performance in four countries (the USA, Germany, Italy, and Japan) with different national corporate governance systems (Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Latin, and Japanese) over the period 2010-2018. We analyse the impact of the global ESG score and disaggregated ESG scores on firm performance with both accounting and market measures. Using a panel generalised method of moments system model, we show the existence of a positive relationship between ESG performance and corporate financial performance only for countries representing the Germanic and Latin governance systems, and this is mainly explained by the significant effect of the governance pillar.
