摘要：
This study empirically investigates the relationship between the Governance pillar of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) dynamics and ESG Controversies. We include the three sub-pillars of ESG Governance (ESG Management, ESG Shareholders, and ESG CSR Strategy). Applying the generalized method of moments (GMM) system version of the Arellano-Bond esti-mator, we analyse a panel dataset of 567 listed banks from United States and Europe, over the period 2016-2021. The findings show a positive and statistically significant relationship between ESG Governance and ESG Controversies scores. Furthermore, we find that these results are confirmed by all three sub-pillars of ESG Governance.
