Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between economic growth and carbon disclosure and whether board gender diversity and independence can play a role in such a relationship. Using a sample of all companies that were invited to participate in the CDP survey covering the period of 2011–2020, our results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between economic growth and disclosure of greenhouse emissions. In addition, the board diversity and independence have effects on this relationship. More specifically, the interaction between a number of female and independent boards with economic growth is negative and significant, suggesting a substitute role between carbon disclosure and the proportion of female and independent directors.
