ROLE OF ESG (ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE) INVESTMENT IN FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF ORGANISATIONS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

Abstract

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors have swiftly transitioned from a peripheral concern to a vital element in evaluating an organization’s financial stability and long-term performance. Although the examination of ESG's impact on a company's risk profile and financial performance is increasingly recognized worldwide, there has been limited investigation into its origins and attributes and its correlation with business risk profiles and financial outcomes. The research examines the association between a company's stance on ESG matters and its overall performance.
