- Abstract
We examine the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score and bank profitability. Our sample includes over the period 2018–2021 from 5 ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines). We employ System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation to control for endogeneity. Environmentally friendly activities have the greatest effect on bank value. We examine the channels through which ESG activity impacts bank profitability and explain why proponents of both stakeholder theory and trade-off theory have found evidence to support their predictions of the relationship between ESG activity and bank value.
