Abstract(s)
A sustentabilidade tem assumido um papel cada vez mais relevante na estratégia empresarial, despertando o interesse de investidores, gestores e académicos para os fatores ambientais, sociais e de governance (ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance), bem como para a diversidade de género em cargos de liderança. Este estudo analisa de que forma a presença feminina nos Conselhos de Administração influencia as classificações ESG de empresas cotadas nos índices PSI, IBEX 35 e Euro STOXX 50, com base em dados de 2022.
A investigação adota uma metodologia quantitativa, recorrendo a modelos de regressão que incluem variáveis como a percentagem de mulheres nos Conselhos, a idade da empresa, a sua dimensão e a rentabilidade operacional. Os resultados indicam que a diversidade de género não exerce um impacto estatisticamente significativo na classificação ESG, global. No entanto observa-se um efeito positivo e relevante no pilar governance, sugerindo que Conselhos mais diversos podem estar associados a práticas de gestão mais éticas e transparentes. Por outro lado, nas empresas da Península Ibéricas identifica-se uma tendência negativa no pilar social, o que poderá refletir especificidades culturais ou estruturais deste mercado. Verificam-se ainda diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas classificações ESG entre setores de atividade, nomeadamente nos pilares ambiental e governance, enquanto o pilar social se apresenta com maior homogeneidade entre os setores analisados.
A originalidade do trabalho reside na desagregação dos pilares ESG e na análise comparativa entre o mercado ibérico e europeus, permitindo uma compreensão mais valiosa da forma como a diversidade de género se articula com a sustentabilidade empresarial.
O estudo procura contribuir para a reflexão sobre os determinantes da sustentabilidade empresarial, evidenciando o contributo da diversidade do género na sustentabilidade empresarial. Ao centrar-se em grandes empresas europeias, a análise oferece pistas importantes
para a concretização de práticas empresariais mais responsáveis, respondendo às crescentes expectativas da sociedade em matéria de responsabilidade e integridade organizacional. Ao analisar dados recentes com uma metodologia quantitativa robusta, o estudo proporciona uma leitura atual e enriquecedora da relação entre liderança feminina e sustentabilidade empresarial, valorizando as características regionais e setoriais que influenciam este desempenho.
Sustainability has become increasingly central to corporate strategy, drawing the attention of investors, managers and academics to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors, alongside gender diversity in leadership positions. This study examines how female representation on Boards of Directors influences the ESG ratings of companies listed on the PSI, IBEX 35 and Euro STOXX 50 indices, based on 2022 data. Using a quantitative methodology the research applies regression models that incorporate variables such as the percentage of women on boards, company age, size and operation profitability. The results indicate that gender diversity does not have a statistically significant impact on overall ESG. However, a positive and significant effect is observed in the governance pillar, suggesting that more gender diverse boards may be associated with more ethical and transparent management practices. In contrast, companies in the Iberian Peninsula show a negative trend in the social pillar, potentially reflecting cultural or structural specificities of the region. Statistically significant differences across sectors are also found, particularly in the environmental and governance pillars, whereas the social pillar demonstrates greater consistency across industries. The originality of this research lies in its disaggregated analysis of ESG pillars and the comparative approach between Iberian and broader European markets, offering deeper insights into how gender diversity interacts with corporate sustainability. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on the determinants of sustainable business practices by highlighting the role of gender diversity. Focusing on large European corporations, aligned with growing societal demands for organizational accountability and integrity. By analyzing recent data with a robust quantitative framework, the research delivers timely and meaningful contribution to the understanding of female leadership’s impact on corporate sustainability, considering both regional and sectoral dynamics.
