Abstract

This study aims to identify how environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance influences stock price volatility, explicitly focusing on the moderating role of tax engagement. ESG performance is measured by an ESG Score calculated from the weighting of three dimensions: environmental, social and governance. Stock price volatility is measured by the degree of price variations over 12 months based on the last 52 weeks’ prices. A sample of Indonesia-listed firms is used, with 770 observations from 2023. The results show that the ESG Score negatively impacts stock price volatility, which is more significant in the social dimension than in the environmental and governance dimensions. In addition, the tax payment variable moderates the relationship and increases the effect of the ESG Score on stock price volatility. These findings suggest that ESG practices and tax transparency are ethical elements and critical components for financial stability, promoting the high-quality development of listed firms. This study is significant for firms, regulators, policymakers and investors. Overall, it underrates the importance of firms adopting ESG activities and engaging in tax management to mitigate risks and maintain viability in the contemporary business environment. This study provides new empirical evidence regarding the factors driving corporate stock price volatility. In addition, it offers pertinent policy recommendations for businesses and governments regarding the significance of ESG investments.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of ESG (environmental, social, governance) on company financial performance, particularly in manufacturing companies. In addition, this research also seeks to analyze whether high financial slack can strengthen the relationship between ESG, both collectively and separately, and the company's Return on Assets (ROA). The population focused on this study consists of 635 manufacturing companies operating in Indonesia, with a sample of 446 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data used comes from annual and sustainability reports from 2018 to 2022. To analyze the data, this study employs linear regression analysis, including calculating coefficients, p-values, and R-squared. The study results show that the environmental, social, and governance variables do not have a significant relationship with the company's ROA, indicating that although ESG is considered important, its implementation in practice may not yet provide the expected impact on financial performance. Additionally, high financial slack was found not to strengthen the relationship between ESG and ROA, suggesting that more significant financial resources do not always guarantee improved sustainable performance. The implications of this study highlight the importance of companies effectively managing ESG aspects and financial resources to achieve sustainability. These findings also provide theoretical insights into the role of financial slack in the relationship between ESG and financial performance, emphasizing that companies need to be more proactive in integrating sustainability practices into their business strategies.
