Since ESG initiatives often entail (high) costs for companies, the question arises whether such investments “pay off” in terms of higher performance or lower risk. Previous research has primarily focused on the shareholder value perspective. More recent studies examine ESG from a risk perspective, mainly equity-based. However, studies exploring the relationship between ESG and credit risk remain scarce, especially in the European context. From a principal-agent theory perspective, it can be assumed that creditors evaluate ESG investments differently than owners. Creditors are primarily concerned with the servicing of their claims from the company’s cash flow and generally favor less risky investments. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing empirical literature and to expand it through an original empirical investigation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2025-11-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783658490898\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-658-49090-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 238\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44352239206540,"sku":"9783658490898","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783658490898.jpg?v=1776874800","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783658490898","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
