Abstract

In this paper, the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores on bank risk and performance and the potential moderating effect of ESG disclosure are examined. Using a sample of 696 banks, I find that there is no evidence of a relationship between ESG scores and bank risk and the association between ESG and bank risk does not depend on ESG disclosure. Furthermore, evidence suggests a nonlinear relationship between ESG and bank performance, rather than a linear relationship and ESG disclosure moderates the linear relationship between ESG and bank performance, but not the quadratic relationship.
