Abstract
Board of directors is one of the most significant governance issues under review by the corporate governance initiatives. A recent recommendation to improve board effectiveness is concerning diversity of the boards. However, further research to assess the impact of board diversity in the business world and to better understand how board diversity interacts with sustainability is clearly needed. Building on this research gap, this study aims to explore empirically how board diversity affects the adoption of ESG management practices. The results reveal generational diversity enhances the integration of ESG aspects in the management process. This study has important implications for theory, business practice and public policy on sustainability and corporate governance fields.
