2009年から2022年の中国A株上場企業を対象に、ESG格付けの不一致が企業業績に与える影響を分析。不一致は業績に負の影響を与え、特に高炭素企業やESG報告開示企業で顕著。2021年のCSRC開示ガイドラインはこの負の効果を緩和せず、むしろ増幅した。格付けの標準化の重要性を示唆。
English
Using panel data from Chinese A-share listed firms (2009-2022), this study finds that ESG rating divergence negatively impacts firm financial performance, especially for high-carbon firms and those with ESG disclosures. The 2021 CSRC disclosure guidelines did not alleviate but amplified this penalty, suggesting that mandatory disclosure without standardized rating methodologies may exacerbate market inefficiencies.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、中国A株市場におけるESG格付けの不一致が企業業績に与える負の影響を実証。特に高炭素企業やESG報告開示企業で影響が顕著であり、2021年のCSRC開示ガイドラインがかえって悪影響を強めた点は、日本におけるSSBJ基準やESG評価の標準化議論に重要な示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper provides crucial evidence from China that ESG rating divergence harms firm performance, and that disclosure mandates alone may backfire without standardized ratings. For global context, it underscores the need for harmonized ESG evaluation standards alongside mandatory disclosure, relevant to ISSB, CSRD, and SEC rulemaking.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study investigates the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating divergence on firm performance, focusing on A‐share listed firms in China from 2009 to 2022. Using panel data analysis, we provide empirical evidence that ESG rating divergence is negatively associated with firm financial performance. The effect is more pronounced among high‐carbon firms, those disclosing ESG reports, firms audited by non‐Big 4 auditors, and those with higher costs of debt. Crucially, we assess the moderating role of the 2021 CSRC ESG disclosure guidelines and find that regulation does not alleviate this penalty; instead, the negative effect of ESG divergence becomes more pronounced in the post‐regulation period. This indicates that disclosure mandates alone, without harmonized evaluation standards, can inadvertently amplify market penalties. The results further show that these negative effects intensified following external shocks such as the 2015 stock market crash and the COVID‐19 pandemic. The study contributes to the ESG literature by highlighting the economic risks of rating divergence and offering a critical policy insight: effective ESG governance requires moving beyond transparency to actively standardize rating methodologies to reduce informational frictions and improve sustainable capital allocation.
