ABSTRACT

The study investigated the impact of ESG management activities on the non-financial performance of organizations, focusing on small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. Using data from 78 survey responses, the following results were summarized. Firstly, ESG management activities positively influenced internal customer satisfaction. The correlation coefficient was .679, indicating a moderately strong correlation, and the coefficient of determination (R²) was .461, explaining 46.1% of the variance. Additionally, with a beta value of .679, a t-value of 8.058, and a p-value of .000, ESG management activities had a statistically significant impact on internal customer satisfaction. Secondly, ESG management activities also had a positive impact on corporate trust. The correlation coefficient was .695, indicating a moderately strong correlation, and the coefficient of determination (R²) was .48 3, explaining 48 .3% of the variance. The beta value was .695, the t-value was 8.429, and the significance probability was .000, indicating a significant influence on corporate trust.The study aimed to shed light on the relationship between ESG management activities of small and medium-sized enterprises and their non-financial performance. These results suggest that companies can enhance internal customer satisfaction and corporate trust through fulfilling social responsibilities and practicing sustainable management.
