Abstract

This study, grounded in the framework of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration theory, systematically explores the relationship between ESG scores and stock price volatility of Chinese enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a multivariate linear regression model, it explores how ESG ratings influence stock price dynamics across different sectors. Findings suggest a negative correlation between higher ESG ratings and stock price volatility, indicating ESG as a mitigating factor. Additionally, the study examines the moderating effects of company size and industry variations on this relationship. Contributions include providing insights into the role of ESG in risk management and guiding policy formulations to enhance corporate ESG performance amidst market uncertainties.
