Corporate Carbon Performance Study Across Nations: The Point of View of Global Investors

The paper aims to examine the global carbon performance of companies from the perspective of national diffusion. According to the Paris Agreement, listed companies from non-OECD countries produce average carbon dioxide cheaper than listed companies from OECD countries. However, the spread of corporate carbon dioxide emissions is lower in OECD countries compared to non-OECD countries, due to the increase in average national carbon dioxide emissions. Also, the spread of corporate carbon dioxide emissions at the country level in the post-Paris Agreement period is inversely correlated with foreign stock ownership. This result confirms our hypothesis that advanced foreign investors from rich countries have a significant positive effect on the efficiency of indigenous firms in developing countries in managing carbon emissions.While the sources checked for this paper may focus on different dependent variables at times, they all address the subject of whether a stricter and more enforceable regulatory framework on carbon emission may lead to a healthier and sustainable environment. We used the quantitative and qualitative analysis to see in what extent large sets of data regarding various indicators of corporate carbon performance are confirmed by a rate of success in the yearly sustainability reports released by the large international companies and international organizations. Further research may also focus on different strategies which aim to produce effects in the long run, not necessarily linked with corporate targets. For this, the topic should be addressed on the level of the entire society and the mission of the governments, and the international community is to find the best way for cooperation
