Purpose: This research aims to investigate the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk on firm value and analyse the disclosure of materiality as a moderation variable.
Methodology/Approach: We select research data through purposive sampling. We obtain ESG risk scores from Sustainalytics. Content analysis measures the materiality of sustainability disclosures. We processed 204 company data sets in Indonesia using moderated regression analysis techniques between 2020 and 2022.
Findings: Empirical results show that greater environmental, social, and governance risks will lower firm value. Furthermore, the disclosure of materiality in the sustainability report can moderate the negative impact of ESG risk on the firm's value.
Research Limitation/Implication: This research's implications are essential for standard-makers and governments to increase corporate attention to environmental, social, and governance risk aspects. The company's operations pose ESG risk, which negatively impacts market value as investors rely on this information for their decision-making. Furthermore, this research also implies that management understands the importance of materiality in sustainability reports.
Originality/Value of paper: This research enriches existing literature on corporate risk, focusing on environmental, social, and governance risks. This paper also adds references to materiality disclosure in sustainability reports.
