Research on the Positive Influence of ESG on Equal Rights for Female Employees in Enterprises

Abstract

Since Roman law, the economic value of women has been suppressed by patriarchal laws. Driven by the need for socio-economic development and the need to fill the gap left by war, women entered the labor market only in the last century. However, this tradition has long placed women at a disadvantage in business, and women's right to work has been restricted. At the same time, with the development of market economy, companies have made reforms accordingly, and the Environmental Social and Governance model, which is an extension of the Corporate Social Responsibility model, has developed not only to promote economic benefits but also to propose more possibilities for the path to equality for female employees. This paper will explore the positive impact of the Environmental Social and Governance model on women's equality through data enumeration and literature review, summarize the shortcomings of the Environmental Social and Governance model, and briefly suggest solutions. In conclusion, the application of the Environmental Social and Governance model provides new ideas for women's affirmative action at work, and this paper believes that the Environmental Social and Governance model is the dawn of advancing more equal treatment for female employees.
