Abstract

This paper uses textual analysis to investigate whether and how institutional investors’ ESG concerns influence firms’ ESG disclosure by identifying ESG-related questions during site visits. The findings show that institutional investors’ ESG concerns raised during site visits inspire firms to improve ESG disclosure. We further find that this positive relationship is enhanced by the shareholding of long-term institutional investors, the board secretary's ability, and analyst attention. These findings suggest that institutional investors communicate directly with management to convey their ESG information demands and motivate firms to enhance their ESG disclosures.
