Title: Mind your own Business: Ownership and its influence on sustainability

Journal: Safety Science

The study highlights the divergence in resource allocation towards
corporate social responsibility (CSR) and health, safety, and wellbeing

(HSW) across the different ownership categories. The study looks at
CSR and HSW investments as part of the firm’s external and internal

sustainability objectives, respectively. This study uses panel data
multiple regression with ordinary least square random-effects model

on a sample of 4158 Indian firms within the period 2014 to 2020 with a
total of 24,168 observations to test its hypothesis. The results indicate

that state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have a substantially higher

impact than private-sector firms on sustainability initiatives.
Meanwhile, there is heterogeneity in the resource allocation on

sustainability by the different ownership categories in the private
sector. On the other hand, foreign institutional investors (FIIs)

stimulate sustainability investments while being predominantly
present in some of the worst CSR performers.
