摘要

Abstract

Based on the top echelon theory and branding theory

This study explores the impact of executives' international experience on enhancing corporate ESG (Environmental

Social

and Governance) capabilities. Using empirical data from A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen between 2018 and 2023

we examine how executives' overseas backgrounds contribute to improved ESG performance. The analysis seeks to highlight the role of global experience in advancing corporate sustainability and governance practices.It is found that executives' international experience is positively associated with higher corporate ESG scores.Specifically

executives with overseas backgrounds are able to introduce diversified perspectives and advanced management concepts

thus improving corporate performance in areas such as environmental sustainability

social responsibility

and governance.In addition

the study suggests that firms that take executives' international experience into account in their decision-making process are able to optimize resource allocation and respond effectively to stakeholders' needs. These findings offer both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for businesses in the selection and development of managerial talent

and emphasise the importance of executives' international background in promoting sustainable development and social responsibility.
