Abstract

This study attempts to test whether corporate governance performance has an impact on climate change ratings. The sample covers firms with climate change and corporate governance ratings in BIST from 2018 to 2022. The panel regression results show that corporate governance performance has a statistically significant effect on climate change performance. Accordingly, shareholders, boards of directors, and public disclosure ratings statistically impact firms' climate change disclosures. Besides, size of the audit committee, number of female audit committee members, asset size, and firm age have statistically significant effects on disclosures of climate change.

Abstract

Çalışmanın amacı, işletmenin kurumsal yönetim performansının iklim değişikliği notları üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığını test etmektir. Borsa İstanbul’a kayıtlı ve iklim değişikliği ile kurumsal yönetim derecelendirme notuna sahip şirketlerin 2018-2022 verileri üzerinde yapılan panel regresyon analizi, genel olarak kurumsal yönetim performansının iklim değişikliği performansı üzerinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Kurumsal yönetim derecelendirme sisteminin unsurlarından pay sahipleri, yönetim kurulu ve kamuyu aydınlatma notlarının işletmelerin iklim değişikliği açıklamaları üzerinde istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı etkilerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
