This document is a language preview of a thesis critically reviewing the measurement of corporate sustainability using ESG scores. It provides a comprehensive overview, including the table of contents, objectives, key themes, chapter summaries, and keywords.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. ESG scores are metrics used to assess a company's performance in these three areas, reflecting its sustainability and ethical impact. They are increasingly important for investment decisions as investors prioritize sustainable and responsible investments.
The thesis investigates the significant divergence observed in ESG scores across different rating agencies. It aims to analyze the impact of this divergence on capital markets and companies' daily operations, and to determine the comparability of these scores and their influence on investment decisions and corporate performance.
The main objectives are to investigate the reasons for score divergence among ESG rating agencies, analyze the impact of ESG scores on capital markets and companies, determine the comparability of ESG scores, and explore potential solutions to address the inconsistencies.
The key themes include the ESG concept and its application in investment strategies, methodological differences among ESG rating agencies and the resulting score divergence, the impact of ESG scores on companies' stock returns and risk profiles, the effects of ESG scores on companies' daily business practices, and the overall significance and implications of ESG score inconsistencies.
The thesis introduces five major ESG rating agencies: MSCI ESG, Refinitiv, Sustainalytics, RobecoSAM, and ISS-oekom.
The thesis investigates the impact of ESG scores on companies' stock returns, risk profiles, and daily business operations. It explores whether the variation in ESG scores affects company performance in measurable ways.
The keywords include ESG scores, sustainability measurement, ESG investing, rating agencies, score divergence, comparability, stock returns, risk, corporate performance, investment decisions, methodological differences, and empirical findings.
The thesis is structured into six chapters: Introduction, ESG and its investment approach, Origin of ESG scores, Consistency and comparability of ESG scores, Impact of ESG scores, and Discussion. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of ESG scores and their impact on capital markets and companies.
