Note. This table reports the tests of Individual measure of the ESG. Firm-fixed effects and year-fixed effects are also included. The t values reported in parentheses are adjusted based on robust standard errors clustered by firm, where *, **, and *** denote significance levels of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10 respectively.
