An essential facet of business operations, corporate governance has increasingly come under scrutiny for its pivotal role in shaping corporate behavior and performance. Among the various governance structures, cross-shareholding is particularly noteworthy due to its complexity and prevalent adoption, especially in economies such as Japan and South Korea. Cross-shareholding substantially impacts corporate governance, thereby influencing a company’s ESG performance. The significance of cross-shareholding transcends conventional governance issues, influencing companies’ ESG ratings—a metric that investors are progressively employing to assess corporate sustainability and ethical practices.
