Outline of Final Research Achievements

In contemporary investment and management, ESG is attracting attention due to a backlash against traditional shareholder-centeredness and a sense of crisis over climate change and other social issues that we face. Since clarity of "actors" is necessary for such evaluation, we constructed a social evaluation model based on stakeholder theory. At the same time, we planned a social evaluation of ESG management of "B Corp" certified companies that promote ESG. Six stakeholder categories were selected: shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, society, and the environment, and the Toyo Keizai Inc. corporate social responsibility (CSR) survey was used for data. The analysis confirmed that stakeholder perspectives influence investment based on the impact on stock price before and after covid-19 pandemic and sector-specific analysis, and that ESG influences management performance through stakeholder engagement in B Corp companies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

既存の東洋経済新報社CSRデータを基にしながらも、研究者らの専門的なESGとSDGsの知見から独自データを整備したことに加えて、ステークホルダーアプローチを証券分析に活用した事例は希少性がある。またBコープ認証プロセスを企業経営の観点から分析することで探索的な仮説モデルを提示した研究は日本では非常に希少かつ独創的な知見を提供するものである。さらにアカデミックな研究に加えて、企業やスペシャリスト数十社からなる研究会を企画し、実践的なESGの取り組みの発表や議論を行うことで、ESG経営の応用という実践的価値を企業や産業に提供することができた点は大きな社会的意義があったと考える。
