摘要 直覺上,高碳排產業較容易對環境產生負面影響,使人們認為其對環境分數也有相當巨大的負面衝擊。但根據過往文獻分析,高碳排產業被認為將在當今日漸嚴格的永續法規下採取創新策略以改善環境績效評分,讓自家企業實踐永續經營。本文旨在檢測高碳排產業是否對其環境績效反而有正向的影響,而在分析了2010年至2022年共1499筆台灣企業樣本後,我們的統計回歸結果印證了高碳排放產業確實對環構面分數的影響是正向且顯著的。而根據我們的進一步探討,發現在高碳排產業下在非家族企業與擁有女性獨立董事的企業對環境績效有加強的效果,且為顯著正面,推論這分別與企業研發費用的增加與代理成本的降低有關。本次研究也透過差異法(DID)方法處理了內生性問題,回歸結果確認了高碳排變數對環境分數的影響一致。
The conventional wisdom argues that high carbon emission industries that harm the environment would gain significantly lower environmental scores. However, high carbon emission industries can adopt innovative strategies under stringent regulations to improve their environmental performance. We test if firms with high carbon emissions exhibit better environmental performance using Taiwanese data from 2010 to 2022. We find that better environmental pillar scores are shown in high carbon emission industries. This industry effect is strengthened in non-family firms and firms including female independent directors and this may be due to sufficient innovation expenditure and lower agency costs, respectively. We address the endogeneity issues by adopting the Difference-in-Differences (DID) method. Our results hold under all robustness tests.
