Abstract

Adverse corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) controversies significantly influence sustainable investment decisions, impacting investor trust, corporate reputation, and market performance. This study examines how negative ESG events—such as environmental violations, labor disputes, or governance scandals—affect the social perception and financial viability of sustainable investments. Through a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative analysis of market data and qualitative assessment of investor sentiment, the study reveals that ESG controversies lead to reduced investor confidence, divestment trends, and heightened scrutiny of corporate practices. The findings underscore the importance of robust ESG frameworks to maintain trust and ensure the long-term sustainability of investments. Recommendations include enhanced transparency and proactive risk management to mitigate the social and financial repercussions of ESG controversies.
