The impact of ESG on modern investment management decisions has become increasingly
important. In this era, institutional investors around the world focus more on small growth
companies with good performance, and in response, many growth companies actively improve
their ESG performance in exchange for the attention of a wide range of investors. However,
there is little empirical evidence of the return impact on the value of ESG performance. So far,
many investors have carefully considered ESG performance when making investment decisions.
By analyzing the adoption of EPRA's Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations (subpar),
this thesis examines and discusses the application of transparent Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) ratings and their interaction with public real estate performance across the
European market. interactions. Using the most recent data available to construct the panel data
and developing two ESG scores representing the degree of completion of disclosure of ESG
items and the degree of improvement of the items for each sample company, regression
analyses are conducted to investigate the impact of ESG on the financial performance of real
estate companies.
The results of the regression analysis show that companies with higher ESG completion scores
have lower financial performance in general under the control of key characteristics, in other
words, companies consume more resources to improve their ESG completion scores, and
improving ESG completion does not improve the performance of the company. On the other
hand, real estate companies with better ESG performance have better financial performance.
This phenomenon shows that although companies disclose more ESG information, it does not
lead to more investment. However, improving ESG performance can help real estate companies
to better access the capital market, especially since the results of this paper's regression are
rich, according to the characteristics of the data broken down more ESG scores, not every
aspect of the performance of the significance of the real estate company to better help real
estate companies to understand and improve their ESG performance.
In particular, the environment scores in this paper are subdivided into five areas: Energy, GHG,
Water, Waster, and Certificates. This is a more detailed study of the impact of each area on the
financial performance of real estate companies.
