초록

근래 ESG 경영이 본격화되고, 기업들은 ESG 경영을 관장하는 이사회 산하 위원회인 ESG 위원회를 설치하는 경향이 나타나고 있다. 선행연구들에 의하면 ESG 위원회는 ESG 성과를 개선하고, 개선된 ESG 성과는 높은수준의 공시 환경을 제공하여 이해관계자들의 정보비대칭을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 ESG 위원회제도가 재무분석가의 정보환경에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 재무분석가의 이익예측정확성을 통해 확인해 보았다. 2016년에서 2020년 사이의 국내 상장기업들을 대상으로 한 실증 결과는 ESG 위원회는 재무분석가의 예측정확성을 개선시키는 것으로 나타났으며, ESG 위원회의 성격 측면에서는 독립적인 위원회에서 이 개선 효과가 더잘 나타났다. 두 번째로, 지배구조로 소유경영 여부를 고려했을 때에는 ESG 위원회의 개선 효과가 장기적 관점에서 ESG 투자를 집행할 수 있는 소유경영자 기업에서만 잘 나타났다. 특히 소유경영자 집단에서는 ESG 위원회의 독립성 뿐 아니라 활동성에서도 유의한 효과가 관찰되었다. 본 연구는 국내에 부족한 ESG 위원회 연구를재무분석가 측면에서 접근해 보았다는 면에서 연구 의의를 말할 수 있다.

Abstract

With the recent rise of ESG management, companies are increasingly establishing ESG committees, which are subcommittees of the board of directors that oversee ESG management. Prior research suggests that ESG committees improve ESG performance, and that improved ESG performance is associated with higher levels of disclosure, which may reduce stakeholder information asymmetry. Therefore, this study examined the impact of ESG committees on financial analysts' information environment through the accuracy of financial analysts' earnings forecasts. Test results for Korean-listed firms between 2016 and 2020 showed that ESG committees improve the accuracy of financial analysts' earnings forecasts, and the improvement is stronger for independent ESG committees. Second, when considering ownership, the effectiveness of ESG committees is substantial only in owner-managed firms, which are better positioned to approach ESG investments from a long-term perspective. In the owner-manager group, a significant effect was observed not only on the independence of the committee but also on its activity. This study contributes to the literature by examining ESG committee from the perspective of financial analysts, which has not been studied in the literature.
