本研究は、2015~2022年のイタリア非金融上場企業290社を対象に、女性取締役・女性経営幹部(PWDM)および女性CEOとESGパフォーマンスの関係を分析。結果、PWDMとESG評価には負の関係があるが、CEOが女性の場合、PWDMが50%前後以上でESGスコアに正の影響を与えることを示した。また、独立取締役比率や企業規模、財務変数との関連も確認。
English
This study explores the relationship between the percentage of women directors and managers (PWDM) and women CEOs on ESG performance of 290 Italian non-financial listed firms (2015-2022). The results show a negative overall relationship between PWDM and ESG ratings, but a positive effect on some ESG scores when the CEO is female and PWDM is near or above 50%. The study also finds associations with independent directors, firm size, and financial variables.

📄 Abstract(原文)
This study explores the relationship between the percentage of women directors and managers (PWDM) and women CEOs on one hand, and the ESG performance of companies on the other. We carried out a panel analysis on 290 Italian non-financial listed companies over 2015–2022. Our results demonstrate that there is a negative relationship between PWDM and ESG ratings, but when the company’s CEO is a woman, the Bloomberg ESG score and E score from LSEG and E and S scores from Bloomberg are positively influenced by a PWDM close to or above 50%. We also find that ESG performance is mainly associated with the percentage of independent directors, number of employees, firm age and certain financial variables, including ROA, ROA volatility, Tobin’s Q and P/E. The novelty of this study lies, among other things, in examining the relationship between corporate governance and sustainability while focusing on operational roles in addition to board membership. The study may also have important implications for policies and programmes to promote gender equality in the broader context of Diversity and Inclusion.
