- Corporate Decision-Making in Geopolitical Crises: The Role of ESG Policies During the Russia-Ukraine Conflict
School of Business | Bachelor's thesis(2023) al Azawi, LaraI analyze the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policies on multinational companies’ decision-making during the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the following stock market reactions. I present evidence that higher ESG scores significantly influence firms to discontinue operations in Russia, whereas Human Rights Scores do not. I also show that complete withdrawals from Russia experience a favorable market reaction, though these reactions are moderated for firms with higher ESG and Human Rights Scores.
