摘要
Drawing on stakeholder and agency theories, we analyzed whether optimum and aggressive environmental, social, and governance engagement alleviates/exacerbates firm risk with the moderating effect of executive compensation. We distinguished optimum and aggressive environmental, social, and governance engagement via a separate research model and subsequently applied the generalized method of moments based on 43,803 ob-servations between 2002 and 2019. We found that while optimum environmental, social, and governance engagement is negatively associated with firm risk, aggressive environmental, social, and governance engage-ment is positively associated with firm risk. However, the moderating effect of executive compensation signif-icantly weakened the positive association between aggressive environmental, social, and governance engagement and firm risk. Hence, corporate social responsibility contracting is key to reconciling the interests of stakeholders and shareholders.
