Cover Story: This paper introduces the concept of sustainability and explores the impact of using sustainable-related information to calculate the cost of equity for firms. The authors use the Gartner supply chain top 50 rankings from 2013 to 2017 to construct the experiment environment. They use a fixed effect regression method to analyze the results. The regressions, which are based on a 350 firm-year sample of the United States and a 604 global firm-year sample, indicate that sustainability information disclosure significantly reduced the equity capital cost. The result is robust under many settings. Thus, this paper finds that sustainability information disclosure significantly diminishes the equity capital cost, thereby controlling for ESG information disclosure. View this paper
