Firmaların Yönetişim Skorları Üzerine Bir Araştırma: Borsa İstanbul'dan Kanıtlar

Year 2024, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 56 - 63, 30.06.2024

Abstract

ÇSY, bir şirkete yapılan yatırımın sürdürülebilirliğini ve etik etkisini ölçmek için kullanılan üç merkezi faktör olan Çevresel, Sosyal ve Yönetişim anlamına gelmektedir. ÇSY kriterleri, yatırımcılar ve finansal analistler tarafından yatırımların sürdürülebilirliğini ve etik etkisini değerlendirmek için kullanılmakta ve yatırım karar alma süreçlerinde giderek standart bir husus haline gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada yönetişim boyutu çerçevesinde analizler yapılmıştır. Başka bir deyişle, çalışmada yönetişim ÇSY puanlarının firma performansı üzerindeki etkisi belirlenecektir. Çalışmada firma performansının bir göstergesi olarak Varlık Kârlılığı (ROA) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Borsa İstanbul'da (BIST) faaliyet gösteren ve ÇSY sürdürülebilirlik skorları sürekli açıklanan 12 firmanın 2013-2021 yıllarına ait verileri kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen modellerin varyans, otokorelasyon ve yatay kesit bağımlılığı sorunlarına sahip olması ve bu sorunlara karşı dayanıklı olması nedeniyle panel düzeltmeli standart hatalar (PCSE) panel sağlam tahmincisi kullanılmaktadır. Analizler sonucunda yönetişim ÇSY puanının firma performansı üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Başka bir deyişle yönetişimin ÇSY puanının artması firma performansını artıran bir faktördür. Çalışmanın bulgularının, düzenleyicilere ve politika yapıcılara ÇSY 'nin açıklanmasına ilişkin politikalar oluşturmada yardımcı olması beklenmektedir.

A Study on the Governance Scores of Firms: Evidence from Borsa Istanbul

Year 2024, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 56 - 63, 30.06.2024

Abstract

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are three central factors used to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company. ESG criteria are used by investors and financial analysts to evaluate the sustainability and ethical impact of investments, and they are increasingly becoming a standard consideration in investment decision-making processes. In this study, analyses were conducted within the framework of the governance dimension. In other words, the effect of governance ESG scores on firm performance will be determined in the study. Return on Assets (ROA) is used as an indicator of firm performance in the study. In the study, the data for the years 2013-2021 of 12 firms operating in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) whose ESG sustainability scores have been announced continuously are used. The panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) panel robust estimator is used since the developed models have problems of variance, autocorrelation, and cross-sectional dependence and are resistant to these problems. As a result of the analyses, it is found that the governance ESG score has a positive and significant effect on firm performance. In other words, an increase in the governance ESG score is a factor that increases firm performance. The findings of the study are expected to help regulators and policymakers to formulate policies on ESG disclosure.
