ESG是曇花一現抑或長久趨勢?

環境、社會及管治(Environmental, Social, and Governance,簡稱ESG)近年好似雨後春筍般,已經無處不在。當眾人還分不清這3個字母順序的時候,ESG早已牽動無數跨國公司的重大決策,也深刻影響各國政府的監管決定。

邏輯兼容與否的影響:綠色投資、國家政策及企業環境績效

環境保護一直普遍被視為國家的責任,但在金融業界,其實早已出現如綠色投資等以市場為基礎的解決方案。目前鮮有研究去分析綠色投資會否影響企業環境績效,以及國家政策如何調節這個影響。 我們以制度邏輯的角度,透過探索促使邏輯和實踐相容的因素,來拓展制度複雜性的研究。我們的理論是, 作為一種以金融為手段和以環境保護為目標的新型混合實踐模式,綠色投資的成功取決於這種混合能否被合理化。綠色投資的合理性,很可能會被其他混合實踐模式所影響。 是次研究分析了來自20個國家,共3,706間企業在2002年至2013年間的面板數據。研究發現每個國家的綠色投資規模會促進企業層面的環境績效。然而,若這個國家有強而有力的環保政策,會削弱綠色投資與企業環境績效之間的正向關係。這個國家若有強大的股東保護政策,則會加強這種關係。我們致力研究制度的複雜性、邏輯相容和公私營合作,以達至最佳社會利益。
