本研究は、ESGパフォーマンスとESGウォッシングが企業価値に与える影響を、デジタル金融システムの発展度合いを考慮して分析。2018〜2023年のグローバルESGリーダーズ指数構成企業のパネルデータを用い、固定効果回帰により、ESGパフォーマンスの向上と論争の減少が企業価値を高めることを示す。さらに、国レベルのFinTech発展が、実質的な持続可能性実践とESGウォッシングを投資家が区別する能力を強化することを明らかにした。
English
This study examines how ESG performance and ESG washing affect firm value in the context of digital financial system development. Using panel data from global ESG Leaders Index firms (2018-2023) and fixed-effects regressions, it finds that higher ESG performance and fewer controversies enhance firm value. Country-level FinTech development strengthens the positive valuation effect of credible ESG, helping investors distinguish substantive sustainability from ESG washing.

📄 Abstract(原文)
This paper investigates the impact of ESG performance and ESG washing on firm value within the context of rapidly evolving digital financial systems. Although ESG disclosure has become central to corporate decision‐making, concerns regarding ESG washing have raised doubts about the credibility of reported sustainability practices and their true valuation effects. At the same time, the rise of FinTech development may reshape how markets process and price ESG‐related information, yet this interaction remains underexplored in the literature. Using panel data from global ESG Leaders Index firms between 2018 and 2023, fixed‐effects regression models and industry‐sensitivity robustness checks capture the interplay between ESG, ESG controversies, FinTech development, and firm value. Results show that higher ESG performance and reduced exposure to controversies significantly enhance firm value. Furthermore, country‐level FinTech development strengthens the positive valuation effect of credible ESG performance, indicating that digitally advanced financial ecosystems enhance investors' ability to distinguish between firms with substantive sustainability practices and those engaging in ESG washing. Industry‐sensitive sectors also exhibit stronger ESG–value linkages. For managers, the findings highlight the importance of verifiable ESG practices, particularly in sensitive industries. For policymakers and investors, the study underscores the relevance of FinTech maturity and industry context when assessing ESG disclosure credibility. This study contributes to the literature by examining the ESG washing–value relationship within the broader framework of country‐level FinTech development.
