기업의 사회적 책임 활동과 재무 건전성이 기업 가치에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

This study analyzed the impact of corporate social responsibility activities and financial soundness on corporate value. The analysis period was set from 2011 to 2019, and the ESG rating announced by the Korea Corporate Governance Service was used as a variable for social responsibility activities. Groups were classified and analyzed based on their financial status and ESG rating to determine whether financial soundness should be supported in carrying out corporate social responsibility activities. It was confirmed that the higher the company’s return and ESG rating in the previous year, the higher the company's value for the current period. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that in the case of companies with poor financial conditions, prioritizing financial performance to improve corporate value is more effective than performing social responsibility activities. In addition, companies that have excellent financial performance and faithfully carry out social responsibility activities can confirm that additional corporate value increases are provided, so they must satisfy financial responsibility, which is the primary purpose of the company, prior to social responsibility activities. It can be seen that companies with excellent financial status need social responsibility activities to further increase corporate value. This study suggests that social responsibility activities should persuade shareholders as investments that increase the value of a company in the long term and try to actively carry out them, but financially sound should be prioritized.
