Extensive research has examined the influence of board composition on various banking outcomes.

This study fills this gap by investigating the relationship between board characteristics and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) uncertainty in the European banking sector. Analysing 77 European banks over the period 2010 to 2022, we find that neither the presence of females nor board independence significantly affects different measures of ESG volatility.

Abstract

Extensive research has examined the influence of board composition on various banking outcomes. However, little attention has been paid to its effect on the uncertainty surrounding sustainable strategies. This study fills this gap by investigating the relationship between board characteristics and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) uncertainty in the European banking sector. Analysing 77 European banks over the period 2010 to 2022, we find that neither the presence of females nor board independence significantly affects different measures of ESG volatility. Nevertheless, our results reveal a positive relation between the size of the board and ESG score fluctuations. Through these insights, our research enriches understanding of the complex dynamics between governance structure and ESG outcomes, providing valuable insights for academics and practitioners.
