Abstract

          The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, and the firm value of Thai listed companies during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample group consisted of the Thai listed companies in the period of 2020 to 2021, totaling 810 observations. The instruments used for data collection were the 2020 - 2021 annual financial statements of the companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, annual registration statement (Form 56-1 One Report), annual report (Form 56-2) and sustainability reporting. A fixed-effects panel of the data regression model was applied for statistical data analysis. The empirical results revealed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, ESG performance had a positive relationship with the firm value, with the statistical significance level of 0.01. These findings are supporting the stakeholder theory.
