本論文は、環境相互取締役（ISO14001認証企業の取締役を兼任する者）の存在が企業のESGスコアに与える影響を、中国上場企業の2011年～2020年のデータを用いて分析した。情報交換と組織模倣の観点から、環境相互取締役はESGスコアを有意に向上させること、特に社内取締役が独立取締役よりも効果的であることを発見した。さらに、女性や高齢の取締役の効果が大きく、外部規制や国有企業でその影響が強まる。
English
This paper examines the impact of environmental interlocking directors (board members also serving on ISO14001-certified firms) on corporate ESG scores using Chinese listed firms from 2011-2020. From information exchange and organizational imitation perspectives, it finds that such directors significantly improve ESG scores, with internal directors more effective than independent ones. Female and older directors enhance the effect, while external regulation and state-ownership strengthen it.

📄 Abstract（原文）
ABSTRACT Environmental interlocking directors are board members who, in addition to serving on a company's board, hold positions in environmentally certified companies (defined as those certified under ISO14001). The experience of environmental interlocking directors aids the transmission and integration of environmental and sustainable concepts, positively influencing the sustainable development of a company. We examine the relationship between environmental interlocking directors and corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores from the perspectives of information exchange and organizational imitation using a sample of listed companies in China's capital market from 2011 to 2020. We find that environmental interlocking directors have a significant and positive impact on corporate ESG scores and that internal environmental interlocking directors have a more pronounced positive impact on ESG scores than independent environmental interlocking directors. Analysis of individual director characteristics reveals that female and older environmental interlocking directors enhance the positive effect on ESG scores, while educational level appears to weaken the effect. Furthermore, external environmental regulation and state‐owned enterprise could strengthen the positive effect of environmental interlocking directors on corporate ESG scores. Our research enriches the literature on environmental interlocking directors and corporate ESG development, and adds to the scientific understanding and assessment of the positive roles of environmental interlocking directors in corporate sustainable development. Our study provides empirical evidence on how to improve corporate ESG scores and promote sustainable development in the capital market.
