本研究は、取締役会のジェンダー多様性と女性取締役の批判的大量（3名以上）が企業の炭素排出に与える影響を、CAC40企業（2020-2023年）のパネルデータと固定効果回帰を用いて分析。結果、女性取締役が批判的大量に達した場合のみ排出削減効果が確認され、CEOの二重性は排出を悪化させる。企業規模と収益性は排出と正の相関。
English
This study examines the impact of board gender diversity and critical mass of female directors on corporate carbon emissions. Using panel data from 37 CAC 40 firms (2020-2023) and fixed effect regression, it finds a nonlinear relationship: emissions decrease only when female directors reach a critical mass (three or more). CEO duality negatively impacts environmental outcomes, while firm size and profitability are positively associated with emissions.

日本のGX文脈において
本研究は、日本の取締役会の多様性と気候変動対応の関係に示唆を与える。SSBJや有報におけるガバナンス開示の文脈で、女性取締役の批判的大量（3名以上）が炭素排出削減に有効であるというエビデンスは、日本の上場企業の取締役会構成の議論に貢献する。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence that board gender diversity reduces carbon emissions only when female directors reach a critical mass. Relevant for global disclosure frameworks (TCFD, ISSB) that emphasize board oversight of climate issues. Supports policies for gender quotas and sustainability-oriented board practices.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Useful for corporate governance and environmental performance literature; provides evidence on critical mass theory in climate context.
🏢実務担当者:Indicates that having at least three female directors can be effective for emissions reduction, guiding board composition strategies.
🏛政策担当者:Supports policies requiring critical mass of women on boards for climate governance, e.g., quotas or disclosure requirements.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study investigates the impact of board gender diversity and the presence of a critical mass of female directors on corporate carbon emissions. Grounded in agency, legitimacy, and critical mass theories, it explores how the gender composition of corporate boards shapes firms’ environmental governance. Using panel data from 37 non-financial CAC 40 firms between 2020 and 2023, the analysis employs Fixed Effect regression models with robustness checks. The results reveal a non-linear relationship between gender diversity and emissions: a higher proportion of female directors reduces emissions only when the board reaches a critical mass, supporting the idea that women’s influence becomes significant beyond token representation. CEO duality negatively affects environmental outcomes, while firm size and profitability are positively associated with emission performance. The study contributes to corporate governance research by showing that meaningful female representation enhances environmental accountability, highlighting the need for policies promoting gender balance and sustainability-oriented board practices.
