- Abstract
The current study focuses on the impact of board room gender diversity on the Environmental Sustainability (ES) of firms. The study selects a sample from the banking sector in Pakistan from 2011 to 2018. Content analysis is used for the measurement of ES. Those Boards which has enough strong combination of gender diversity probably deliver additional monitoring and are also strict implementation of ethical behavior, thus decreasing the effects of misuse of shareholder investments that can be harmful to their profits. As for their social capabilities, women in the board room are likely to be able to involve with numerous stakeholders providing a way for presenting social responsiveness, which is established by the results. Our findings are robust to alternative estimation techniques including Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE), and the Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method. The outcomes support that a connection does exist among board Gender Diversity (GD) and ES. The outcomes suggest that firms having boards with more gender diversity are more environmentally responsible. The study offers new information on the part of female directors in encouraging ES and develops additional dimensions to the continuing debate in this area by selecting the banking sector. The study offers theoretical, methodological, and practical implications.
