This study analyzes the effect of firms’ ESG engagement on employment using Korean ESG evaluation data and unemployment insurance administration databases. Using a system GMM model to address reverse causality, the analysis finds that ESG scores are negatively associated with employment. However, this effect is mitigated in high-performing firms, where the interaction between ESG and firm performance shows a positive impact on employment. These results suggest that the employment effects of ESG depend on a firm’s financial capacity and strategic alignment within human resource management. © 2025 City University of Hong Kong and National Taiwan University.
