Note(s): This table shows the regression results of the association between different characteristics of the sustainability committee and CSR performance. Model (1) to Model (6) show the regression results of sustainability committee size, committee members’ gender, tenure, age and qualifications, and sustainability committee overlap with audit committee members with CSR performance; and Model (7) reports the regression results of all sustainability committee characteristics with CSR performance. The numbers in parentheses are t-statistics. All variables are defined in Appendix
***, ** and * represent statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
