  • ESG factors in M&A in India: Performance and market insights from 2010 to 2023
    Manoj Panda, Pankaj Sharma, Vasa László, Manohar Kapse, Vinod Sharma, and Yogesh Mahajan

    LLC CPC Business Perspectives
    This study assesses the impact of mergers and acquisitions on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and market value of acquiring companies operating in India. Data were collected and analyzed from 69 M&A announcements from January 2010 to June 2023, sourced from the Bloomberg database. The analysis reveals a positive correlation between the post-merger market value of acquiring firms and their ESG performance, indicating that an improvement in ESG factors is associated with increased market value after mergers. Additionally, a positive correlation was identified between acquiring companies’ post-merger ESG performance and their target firms’ pre-merger ESG performance. This finding suggests that when acquiring a target firm with high ESG performance, the acquirer is likely to experience an improvement in its own post-merger ESG performance. Moreover, both the post-merger market value and ESG performance of the acquirer are likely to improve with the profitability and size of firms but will have a negative impact based on the leverage components of the acquiring firms.

  • Do Socially Responsible Indices Outperform the Market During Black Swan Events: Evidence from Indian Markets During Global Financial and COVID-19 Crises.
    Pranay Deshmukh and Dipasha Sharma

    University of Wollongong Library
    This paper aims to examine and compare the effect of black swan events on the performance of companies with strong Environmental, Social, and (Corporate) Governance (ESG) backgrounds with that of other companies. Compared to established firms, companies with ESG backgrounds are perceived to be stable that will help them outperform established companies that are volatile during times of crisis. This research focuses on SENSEX for conventional market index and BSE GREEENEX and S&P BSE CARBONEX for ESG indices. We evaluated performances of the three indices during U.S. Debt Ceiling Crisis (201112), Black Monday China, BREXIT and Demonetization (2015-16), and COVID-19 (2020) crisis. We checked whether ESG indices outperformed conventional index significantly using Student's T-test. We have also compared the volatility of the three indices during the different black swan periods using the GARCH model.
