Item Does Board Gender Diversity Enhance the Sustainable Performance of Firms? Empirical Evidence From India(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Poornima, S.; Gopalakrishna, B.V.; Samanta, M.This study explores the link between board gender diversity and corporate sustainability disclosure. The study employs 417 Indian companies to investigate how the incorporation of corporate sustainability disclosure and gender diversity on the board of directors interrelate. The findings show that companies with a higher proportion of female directors enhance sustainable disclosure by taking favorable reporting measures to address environmental issues, social welfare concerns, and governance problems. The companies with more women on board incorporate highly sensitive initiatives regarding the environment, society, and overall governance. These results suggest that women directors add valuable diversity, leading to better decisions and a stronger focus on social and environmental concerns. This study extends the prevailing literature on gender studies and sustainability by presenting empirical recommendations about the role of females in corporate decision-making, specifically related to the sustainability of Indian firms. © 2026 Dhishna Pannikot.

It looks over the impact of investment on ESG, i.e., environment, society, and governance factors. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of research works on ESG and its disclosures using the TCCM framework and thematic analysis, specifically in the Indian context, to determine future research priorities and research gaps in India. The search parameters identified 50 research papers, 44 of which were accepted for analysis. The study identified a gap in the available literature that allows for future observation. The study agenda in this review may help researchers to construct specific research fields around the discovered gaps. ESG investment has emerged as a critical problem for businesses. As a result, a considerable study in this sector is required to grow this topic as an operational investment area. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2023.
