Note(s): This table presents fixed effects regression estimates of the relationship between the environmental (Env), social (Soc), and governance (Gov) components of ESG performance and return on assets (ROA), across different bank categories. All models include firm and year fixed effects. Robust standard errors are shown in parentheses. ***, **, and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels, respectively
