Sammendrag
This thesis investigates the relationship between environmental, social, and corporate

governance (ESG) performance and stock performance in Scandinavia between 2011-2020.

We analyze the difference in stock performance between companies with high and low ESG

performance. To measure ESG performance, we apply various ESG ratings from Refinitiv.

Using a long-short zero investment strategy, we examine differences in stock performance

between high and low ESG rated companies. By employing Fama-French three-, four-

(Carhart) and five-factor models, we control for possible different risk exposures between

the portfolios. The portfolios based on ESG score show a neutral relationship. The neutral

relationship is consistent when controlling for ESG controversies, the company’s media

exposure related to ESG incidents. Amongst the three ESG dimensions, we also find

a neutral relationship with portfolios based environmental and social scores. However,

screening on governance score, the strategy leads to abnormal returns, indicating a positive

relationship.
