Abstract

As global environmental and social challenges, such as climate change and poor labor conditions, become more pressing, the need for a green, low-carbon, and sustainable development path has gained widespread acceptance across the international community. In recent years, the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has garnered increasing attention from various stakeholders, including investors, companies, governments, and broader society. ESG serves as a framework for evaluating a company’s overall performance across three key dimensions: environmental responsibility, social impact, and corporate governance. This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the relationship between ESG and corporate outcomes. While numerous scholars have explored both theoretical and empirical perspectives on this relationship, there remains ambiguity regarding the specific impact of ESG on corporate value. By synthesizing various studies and analyzing points of agreement and divergence, this paper aims to reveal the underlying connections between ESG practices and corporate performance.
