This research aims to analyze the effect of Corporate Sustainability through the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) index that groups together social, environmental and corporate governance practices on the value of the firm for five emerging economies such as Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Chile (LATAM5). Research related to measuring the effectiveness of these ESG practices is very scarce for developing countries. Furthermore, the literature shows that there is also little research that addresses the consequences of the three ESG dimensions together, even when they are strongly linked because they address similar issues and concerns. Regarding the results, the evidence shows that the variable of interest, the ESG index, has no effects on firm value, while the return on assets and the capital expenditure ratio do positively affect the firm value for LATAM5 countries. Although the empirical literature shows mixed results on the ESG index and firm value, it is expected that in the coming years more companies will periodically disclose their ESG practices in Latin America and, in turn, that this information will be absorbed in the market and it becomes valuable information for stakeholders, so that the good management performance of companies is compensated.
