Abstract
This research investigates if a company’s return performance is influenced by its environmental, social and governance (ESG) rating. It adds to the existing literature by examining Asian-Pacific stock markets (Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore) over an extended time frame. The ESG ratings used are sourced from LSEG Refinitiv, and portfolio analysis is conducted using the Carhart four-factor model. The findings from this study suggest that ESG-based investing does not yield abnormal returns.
