Does ESG impact bond yields?

Our data science team answered this by analyzing the impact of ESG scores on bond yields after normalizing for other variables such as company size and leverage. We found a statistically significant relationship indicating that a 10-point improvement in ESG score leads to a 0.54 percentage point drop in bond yields, all else equal (Figure 1). Understanding risks of all kinds remains critical in the investment world.
