metadata.value: The article examines the impact of сorporate governance factors on the еnvironmental, social,
  and governance rating in companies from industrial and IT sectors. The aim of this study is to
  identify and measure the impact of corporate governance factors on ESG rating in industrial
  and IT sectors. The research also includes a country-specific analysis: for European, Asian and
  American companies. The dependent variable is ESG rating — an indicator of the company’s
  compliance with environmental, social and governance standards. The paper considers observations
  of 80 companies since 2005 to 2020. The results of this study showed that the most
  significant practices in European companies are the presence of a policy of independence of
  the board of directors and an increase in the percentage of non-executive members. For Asian
  companies, corporate governance factors such as the presence of a policy of independence of
  the board of directors, an increase in the percentage of non-executive directors effect positively.
  For American companies, the following practices positively influence the ESG rating — the
  existence of a policy of independence of the board of directors and the corporate social responsibility
  committee and an increase in the percentage of women on the board of directors.
  In terms of sectors, the results showed that information technology companies are positively
  affected by an increase in the percentage of non-executive members, the presence of a corporate
  social responsibility committee, and an increase in average age. Also, if the chairperson
  is a woman the chances of getting a higher ESG rating increase. In industrial sector companies,
  the presence of a corporate social responsibility committee and a policy of independence of
  the board of directors, as well as the fact that the chairman was a CEO, are positively affected.
  These results can be used by companies to develop a plan to improve corporate performance.
