Corporate Governance And Its Influence On Environmental And Social Performance: A Study Of Listed Indian Companies

Abstract

The impact of corporate oversight on the sustainability and social performance of registered Indian corporations is investigated in this research. Using a sample of 100 stakeholders from 10 companies listed on the “Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)”, data was collected through a structured questionnaire. The findings suggest that strong governance structures, including independent directors and frequent ESG reviews, positively impact environmental and social initiatives. However, gaps in governance practices were observed in some companies, indicating a need for improvement in transparency, sustainability, and stakeholder engagement.
