Abstract

This thesis examines the role of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in providing firms with financial resilience to climate-induced events. Using the exhaustive NCEI and EM-DAT database of natural disasters and Refinitive and Bloomberg ESG scores from 2009 to 2019, I show that firms with higher ESG scores experience lower cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) and are then less resilient in terms of performance. This finding contrasts with prior studies that frequently find a positive relation between ESG ratings and corporate resilience. High ESG scores do not bring resilience to firms operating in primary affected states. However, in terms of volatility firms with higher post-ante ESG scores, return on assets (ROA), size, and Tobin’s q are less volatile and thus more resilient to the exogenous shocks of natural events, while undervalued firms are more volatile. The results are persistent across firms operating in various industries and primary affected states.
