Development: The Importance of Integrating and Communicating ESG</a><br /><em>Mauro Sciarelli, Silvia Cosimato, Giovanno Landi, and Francesca Landolo</em><br /><strong>The TMQ Journal<br />2021</strong><br />Researchers studied whether integrating environmental social governance (ESG) in investment strategies can support sustainable financial growth. An explorative analysis showed that some companies are near to a full integration. Other companies demonstrated less than a full commitment to ESG, mainly due to the different approaches that asset management companies (AMCs) and/or managers have adopted for integrating ESG criteria.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.niri.org/NIRI/media/NIRI-Resources/Investor-Collaboration_Leaders-Arena_LETTER.pdf">Effective ESG Communication Strategies to Address Increasing Investor Collaboration</a><br /><em>Leaders Arena</em><br /><strong>Principles for Responsible Investment<br />2018</strong><br />This guide provides proactive steps that communicators can take to effectively collaborate with investors on ESG.

ESG efforts had an overall positive impact on communications; findings indicate this impact is attributed to the environmental and social aspects of ESG.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/MD-01-2017-0018/full/html?journalCode=md">Transparency Among S&P 500 Companies: An Analysis of ESG Disclosure Scores</a><br /><em>Nabil Tamimi and Rose Sebastianelli </em><br /><strong>Management Decision<br />2017</strong><br />Data were retrieved from Bloomberg using the financial analysis ESG function for companies in the S&P 500 index. Findings reveal that S&P 500 companies differ in their level of disclosure across the three areas (ESG). Large companies have significantly higher ESG disclosure scores than mid-size companies. The highest level of transparency was found on governance and the lowest level on environmental.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/12/3276">Mapping the ESG Behavior of European Companies. A Holistic Kohonen Approach</a><br /><em>Irina-Eugenia Imandi, Laura-Gabriela Constantin, Sebastian Madalin Munteau, and Bogdan Cernat-Gruici</em><br /><strong>Sustainability<br />2019</strong><br />Researchers analyzed the ESG performance of 1,165 European corporate entities as of January 2019. Results found that the ESG approach of the European companies is mainly strategic and long-term oriented, aimed at increasing corporate competitiveness and supporting societal well-being overall. Data also show that environmental and social priorities are preferred over corporate governance targets.</p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1044028316300680?casa_token=-WQBI_kYjxQAAAAA:4VV0JWk8PxOmPGndKn9u5PRfUocZ19fQmsiqWk00Fz7n0JJTp9nItXrYZdW6cpWgE6y_PixaIQ" rel="nofollow">ESG Performance and Firm Value: The Moderating Role of Disclosure</a><br /><em>Ali Fatemi, Martin Glaum, and Stefanie Kaiser</em><br /><strong>Global Finance Journal<br />2018</strong><br />This study examined the effect of ESG activities and their disclosure on firm value. Findings show that ESG strengths increase firm value, and ESG weaknesses decrease firm value. However, high disclosure of ESG efforts was found to weaken the positive perception of ESG strengths. Conversely, disclosure of ESG efforts mitigated the negative effect of ESG weaknesses.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bse.1927?casa_token=HD0c4IEfFzEAAAAA%3Ana-PWxK3ooPpDE9eBVhfcD_Q1eyj92hOJX7RWbFY6_Q6ylc1EyH7sTa5JSzhYpEf2kIoul7w17VCuf4" rel="nofollow">Integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Disclosure for a Sustainable Development: An Australian Study </a><br /><em>Chitra Sriyani De Silva Lokuwaduge and Kumudini Heenetigala</em><br /><strong>Business Strategy and the Environment<br />2016</strong><br />This article explores the ESG reporting of metal and mining companies in the Australian Securities Exchange to determine the ESG indicators used in the sector. This study contributes towards developing an ESG disclosure index, which companies could use as a legitimacy tool that external stakeholders could use to reliably measure and compare the ESG performance of companies. The study reveals that stakeholder engagement is the key to enhance company environmental policy and sustainable development.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/IJAIM-09-2019-0108/full/html">ESG Disclosure and Firm Performance Before and After IR: The Moderating Role of Governance Mechanisms.</a><br /><em>Khaldoon Albitar, Khaled Hussainey, Nasir Kolade, and Ali Meftah Gerged</em><br /><strong>International Journal of Accounting and Information<br />2020</strong><br />Data was collected from Bloomberg and Capital IQ between 2009 and 2018 to investigate the effect of ESG disclosure on firm performance (FP) before and after the introduction of integrated reporting (IR). The results show a positive and significant relationship between ESG disclosure score and firm performance. Additionally, this paper finds that firms voluntarily associated with integrated reporting tend to achieve better firm financial performance.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/IJOEM-05-2017-0172/full/html">Perception of ESG Criteria by Mainstream Investors: Evidence from Tunisia</a><br /><em>Souhir Khemir</em><br /><strong>International Journal of Emerging Markets<br />2019</strong><br />Researchers examined the consideration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ESG criteria by investors in Tunisia. A series of focus groups and semi-structured interviews were conducted with financial professionals in Tunisia. Findings suggest that although the Tunisian government has made a push to promote CSR and ESG criteria in investment allocation decisions, CSR and ESG criteria are still secondary to financial criteria.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.igi-global.com/chapter/esg-and-financial-performance/218075">ESG and Financial Performance: Impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance Issues on Corporate Performance</a><br /><em>Asli Aybars, Levent Ataünal, and Ali Osman Gürbüz</em><br /><strong>Managerial Thinking in Global Business Economics<br />2019</strong><br />This study investigated the relationship between <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/content/dam/openweb/documents/pdf/tr-com-financial/methodology/corporate-responsibility-ratings.pdf">Thomson Reuters Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Combined Score</a> and performance of S&P 500 firms.

Findings suggest consumers’ emotional affinity towards nature and environmental values have a strong direct positive influence on green consumer behavior (GCB), while the direct impact of knowledge is insignificant. These findings are consistent across genders. Thus, the use of moral and emotional appeal in green communications (e.g., advertising, packaging) appears to induce green consumer behavior.</p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section>
