In a rapidly evolving world where Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are at the forefront of business and investment decisions, understanding the intricate interplay between ESG factors and corporate performance is paramount. This book demystifies ESG by providing empirical insights from the unique perspective of China, shedding light on the impact of ESG on financial performance and corporate governance. It investigates the impact of environmental expertise, social variability, and board governance model on firm performance.

The book sets the stage by introducing the reader to the significance of ESG in today's corporate world, examining empirical evidence gathered from a decade of data analysis on Chinese-listed companies. It explores how ESG practices influence corporate financial performance and what role audit quality plays in this equation. Drawing from a wealth of data, it provides practical insights into the effects of ESG disclosure, ownership structures, corporate governance, and more on the performance of businesses. It offers a clear understanding of the empirical realities in China while addressing a global audience interested in harnessing ESG for sustainable corporate success. It provides valuable lessons and comparisons that can benefit readers beyond China's borders.

The book bridges the gap between research and practice, translating complex research findings into actionable recommendations, enhancing its appeal to both academic and professional audiences. It is a must-read for scholars, students and researchers seeking actionable insights into the world of ESG. Further, it discusses ESG practice and policy implications, offering recommendations for stakeholders including policymakers, investors, managers, and auditors.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
