Item Restricted THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ESG AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF UK FTSE 250 LISTED FIRMS.(University of Sussex, 2024-09) Alhuqayl, Nouf; Hawas, AmiraIn this dissertation, the relationship between the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in relation to the financial performance of FTSE 250 companies pre-and during COVID-19 was studied. Utilizing data from Bloomberg and to conduct regression panel models with fixed and random effects, a Hausman test was performed in order to choose the most effective model. The study reveals that ESG including its sub-dimension exhibit minimal influence on financial outcomes pre-pandemic with only slight improvements noted during the pandemic. The data corroborates the assertion that despite virtually no clear monetary advantages of ESG integration is seen at once, its contribution keeps increasing over time. The study emphasizes the complexities of ESG impacts and the need for companies to tailor their ESG strategy to specific operational and economic settings in order to maximize advantages. This study contributes to the nuanced understanding of ESG integration and encourages more research into its long-term effects in various businesses and regulatory situations.5 0Item Restricted THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ESG AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF UK FTSE 250 LISTED FIRMS.(University of Sussex, 2024-09) Alhuqayl, Nouf Khalid; Hawas, AmiraIn this dissertation, the relationship between the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in relation to the financial performance of FTSE 250 companies pre-and during COVID-19 was studied.

Design/methodology: Narrative literature review searched in two databases, SCOPUS and Web of Science, to identify common literature themes and literature gaps Findings: The paper’s findings emphasise the potential value-creating effects of ESG performance in M&A deals. It suggests that well-governed acquirers are expected to fairly reward the target's ESG performance, recognising its potential to contribute to the combined entity's competitive advantage and shareholders' relationships. Furthermore, it highlights the nuanced nature of ESG performance and suggests that the individual components of ESG may have a differential impact on M&A value creation. Limitations: The method of narrative literature review may introduce bias when interpreting and synthesising the findings. Practical Implications: This paper gives a general overview from a firm’s internal resources perspective, which offers stakeholders and investors The healthcare industry's M&A success depends on factors like target selection, deal structure, and integration strategy, with an emphasis on considering ESG performance. The paper suggests that healthcare acquirers should prioritise high-ESG targets, structure deals with cash payments, be disciplined on valuation based on acquirer size, and dedicate resources to responsible target integration to maximise the benefits of consolidation in the healthcare industry. Originality/value: To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first paper that explores the link between M&A activities and ESG performance through the lens of the RBV .17 0Item Restricted The association between capital structure and ESG scores of listed companies in Kuwait(universtiy of strathclyde, 2024-08-26) Alhajri, Naif Abdullah; Tomazos, konstantionsThe purpose of this dissertation was to research the relationship between capital structure and ESG performance17 0
