サハラ以南アフリカ企業1,345社・年（2014-2024年）のパネルデータを用い、ESG性能と炭素排出の関係を検証。総合ESG・環境・社会スコアは排出を有意に削減するが、ガバナンスは有意でない。新興国におけるESGエンゲージメントが脱炭素戦略に有効であることを示す実証研究。
English
Using 1,345 firm-year observations (2014-2024) from Sub-Saharan African firms, this study examines whether ESG performance reduces corporate carbon emissions. Total ESG, environmental, and social scores significantly lower emissions, while governance shows no significant effect. It provides rare empirical evidence that ESG engagement supports decarbonization in developing economies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業にとっては、新興国サプライチェーン（Scope 3）や投資先のESG評価を検討する際の参照材料となる。SSBJ・有報でのScope 3開示や、エマージング市場への transition finance 判断に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This adds developing-economy evidence to the global ESG-disclosure literature, relevant to ISSB/CSRD scope-3 and transition-finance debates where emerging-market data is scarce. It suggests governance-only metrics may underperform environmental/social pillars in predicting emissions reductions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Reducing corporate carbon emissions is crucial for achieving global climate goals. Although ESG engagement may encourage firms to improve environmental performance, its effectiveness in reducing corporate carbon emissions remains underexplored in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study investigates the link between the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and the carbon footprint of African companies in an attempt to determine whether a reduced environmental footprint is associated with high ESG performance. We examine 1,345 observations of firm-years in the energy and nonenergy industry using a panel dataset of 2014 to 2024 from the Bloomberg database, the World Bank, the IMF Climate Change database. This paper uses robust econometric designs like fixed effects, random effects, instrumental variables (2SLS, GMM and cluster-robust standard error models, mechanism analysis, and subsample analysis to establish the influence of ESG performance on carbon emissions. The current paper is part of the already established literature on the ESG and climate responsibility within the developing contexts, as it offers empirical evidence to support the claim, but on a continent that remains largely unexploited yet incredibly susceptible to the climate change. This study found that total ESG performance, environmental and social performance significantly decrease carbon emissions, however governance indicator has an insignificant influence on carbon emissions. The findings show that ESG engagement plays a vital in decreasing the carbon emissions of companies in Sub-Saharan Africa. They emphasize the importance of improving ESG practices and corporate environmental initiatives for the success of decarbonization strategies in the region.
