Notes:

This table shows the correlation coefficients for risk measures, ESG ratings and control variables. All variables are explained in Table 1. Stars indicate significance at the 5% level (p < 0.05).

VIF1 refers to Model 1; VIF2 refers to Model 2; VIF3 refers to Model 3; VIF4 refers to Model 4
