초록

본 연구는 지속가능경영보고서를 발간하는 상장기업을 대상으로 ESG 성과가 외국인지 분율에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는지 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 나아가, 지속가능경영보고서 내 환경정보를 TCFD 권고안에 맞춰 공시했는지가 ESG 성과와 외국인지분율 간의 관계를 조절하는지 검증한다. 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 해당 연도의 ESG 성과 및 다음 연도의 외국인지분율 사이에는 양의 상관관계를 가진다. 즉, 기업의 ESG 성과가 높을수록 외국인지분율도 높아진다. 둘째, TCFD 권고안에 따른 환경정보 공시 여부가 ESG 성과와 외국인지분율 간의 관계를 양의 방향으로 조절한다. 즉, TCFD 권고안에 따른 환경정보 공시는 ESG 성과와 외국인지분율 간의 양의 상관관계를 더 강화한다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 외국인 투자자는 ESG 성과가 좋은 기업에 더 투자하며 특히 TCFD 권고안에 따라 환경정보를 공시하는 기업의 경우 그 효과가 더 크다는 것을 보여준다.

This study aims to determine whether ESG performance positively affects foreign ownership for listed firms that publish sustainability reports. Furthermore, we test whether the disclosure of environmental information in the sustainability report in accordance with the TCFD recommendations moderates the relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership. The results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, there is a positive correlation between ESG performance in a given year and foreign ownership in the following year, i.e., the higher a firm's ESG performance, the higher its foreign ownership. Second, the presence of environmental disclosure in accordance with the TCFD recommendations positively moderates the relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership, i.e., environmental disclosure in accordance with the TCFD recommendations strengthens the positive relationship between ESG performance and foreign ownership. In conclusion, this study shows that foreign investors invest more in companies with better ESG performance, and the effect is stronger for companies that disclose environmental information in accordance with TCFD recommendations.
