Abstract

This paper empirically examines the impact of regional energy consumption structure on corporate ESG ratings using data on Chinese A-share listed companies and the energy consumption structure of provinces and municipalities from 2011-2019. It is found that corporate ESG scores decline in regions where coal consumption accounts for a larger share of total energy consumption. In further research, the paper finds energy consumption structure is significant negative effects on the environmental and social dimensions and no significant effects on the governance dimension. From the perspective of regional heterogeneity, the impact of coal consumption share on corporate ESG performance is negatively significant in eastern China, but not in central and western. In terms of corporate heterogeneity, the share of consumption of state-owned corporates has a negatively significant impact on corporate ESG performance, while non-state-owned corporates do not have a significant impact.
