Resumen

Objetivo: Comparar el impacto de los factores ESG (ambientales, sociales y de gobernanza) en el desempeño operativo, financiero y de mercado de las empresas en mercados desarrollados y emergentes entre 2018 y 2023.

Metodología: Utilizando un enfoque cuantitativo, se analizaron datos de divulgación financiera y ESG de 2.546 empresas de diferentes sectores en mercados desarrollados y emergentes. Se aplicaron técnicas de regresión lineal múltiple para investigar la relación entre las prácticas ESG y el desempeño corporativo (ROA, ROE y Q de Tobin), considerando variables como el tamaño de la empresa, el apalancamiento y el crecimiento de las ventas.

Resultados: Los resultados indican que los mercados emergentes muestran una asociación más fuerte entre las prácticas ESG y el desempeño financiero, en comparación con los mercados desarrollados.

Contribuciones del Estudio: Este estudio contribuye a la comprensión teórica de la relación entre ESG y desempeño y ofrece perspectivas para políticas públicas y estrategias corporativas, promoviendo inversiones responsables y sostenibilidad. Esto permite un análisis comparativo entre los mercados emergentes y desarrollados, destacando los matices en la implementación y los resultados de las prácticas ESG, con implicaciones teóricas y prácticas para las empresas y los responsables políticos.
