ESG scores Bloomberg is used as an indicator of sustainability reporting. The theory used in this study is Signaling theory, which is an action taken by the company to provide instructions for investors on how to view the companies prospects. The findings indicate that social information can decrease the level of firm’s risk. Additionally, environmental and governance information have a negative impact on systematic risk only. Neither environmental nor governance information have an impact on non-systematic risk and total risk.

This study also gives a fruitful insight to the literature by giving empirical evidence on the relationship between sustainability information and corporate’s risk.
