  • The impact of corporate governance on company financial performance
    Publication . Hassine, Sara; Moutinho, Nuno
    This study aims to investigate the relationship between corporate governance practices and ESG practices on financial performance in leading technology companies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative analysis of financial metrics, such as Tobin's Q and Return on Assets (ROA), with qualitative assessments of governance structures and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices. The sample was comprised of top tech firms, filtered to exclude financial and fintech companies that lacked sufficient data. The multiple regression model allows us to find that the adoption of ESG and governance practices are important for a higher performance. Thus, we show that ESG performance and board size negatively affect the performance and that the woman on board positively influence financial performance. The study provides valuable insights for corporate stakeholders on the relevance of governance practices in enhancing company value and sustainability. The results suggest that companies aiming for sustainable growth should prioritize independent directors and diverse board representation while integrating ESG practices into their operational strategies. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the role of governance in corporate performance and offer actionable recommendations for stakeholders in the technology industry.
