The topic of this study falls within that line of research that seeks to understand whether corporate governance and in particular the composition and activity of a company’s board of directors can influence its ESG performance. This study seeks to fill gap in the literature by analyzing the relationship between bank board composition (the main independent variables are gender diversity, independence, size, activity, and ESG/CSR committee) and performance of the ESG dimensions.

The global business landscape has seen a growing necessity for companies to implement and disclose environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information (AlHares et al., 2023). Driven by the expectations of investors and society, companies find themselves obligated to publish ESG reports. Therefore, this study focuses on exploring the impact of ESG information on the investment decisions made by individual investors in Vietnamese stock markets. By employing the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and conducting a comprehensive survey, coupled with logistic regression analysis on a sample of 232 individual investors, our research uncovers a significant influence of ESG information on the stock decision-making process of these investors. Notably, our findings reveal that investors place greater emphasis on governance (G) information compared to social (S) and environmental (E) information when making investment decisions. This trend aligns with the conclusions drawn by Sultana et al. (2018) and Mehwish et al. (2022) but diverges from the findings of Rounok et al. (2023). These findings are poised to catalyze the disclosure of ESG reports among listed companies. They also impel policymakers to craft and implement policies actively promoting ESG reporting. Such initiatives will likely foster increased interest and bolster investments in companies adhering to ESG criteria, particularly among individual investors in emerging stock markets.

Purpose: This article aims to clarify the current situation and the factors influencing the early stages of applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in the Vietnamese economy. Design/methodology/approach: We employed a large-scale survey with 130 responses from November 2023 to January 2024 and statistics analysis using SPSS 26.0. Findings: We found that awareness of leaders, accountants' levels, pressure on ESG, state guidance, management process, information base, and women on boards, respectively, influence the early stages of applying environmental, social, and governance in Vietnamese enterprises. Research, Practical & Social Implications: This study illuminates the factors that influence the early stages of ESG performance in Vietnam, an emerging Asian economy. The findings highlight the crucial role of leaders' awareness and accountants’ levels in this process. This understanding can guide the country's leaders and policymakers in formulating strategies to promote ESG adoption for the sustainable development of the whole economy. Originality/value: This study stands out for its originality. It comprehensively analyzes the early period of ESG adoption in an emerging Asian country, particularly Vietnam. Its findings offer objective evidence to understand the situation and impacted factors on ESG application, aiding governments and related parties in formulating appropriate policies for sustainable development with ESG.
