Abstract

This article focuses on companies on the French stock market, particularly on 70 companies between 2005 and 2018 that integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into their investment decisions. Following a principal component analysis which highlights three classes of companies, we note that theymake different efforts in terms of compliance with ESG criteria and that the impact of these criteria on the economic level differs from from one business class to another following a series of regressions. While some companies use ESG criteria for mainlyeconomic reasons, others mainly integrate them to display a strong identity and at the same time increase their intangible capital and even their image. However, the ESG statements of some companies are mixed, because they alternate both good and bad statements. In all cases, ESG criteria have a significant influence on the economic performance of companies.
