I am very pleased to announce that our article “The Correlation between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Ratings and Financial Performance Indicators” has now been published in the journal Corporate Finance.
In this paper, we examine the relationship between ESG ratings and the financial performance of companies (using metrics such as ROA and Tobin’s Q).
My sincere thanks go to Lars Wisotzki and Werner Gleißner for the excellent collaboration on this article, as well as to the editorial team of Corporate Finance, Kirsten Kücherer and Stefan Kemetter, for their support during publication.
Corporate Finance is listed in the VHB-JOURQUAL ranking list (Category C) and is thus a recognized specialist journal in our field.
I cordially invite everyone interested to read the article—I hope it sparks as much curiosity and interest as it did for us during our work on it.
