Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of management under the executive’s experience on sustainability reporting and returns in agriculture, food, and natural resource businesses. The aim was to instill confidence in potential investors or those interested in investing in these business sectors. The research used structural equation modeling with territorial data. The results from both business sectors revealed that executive experience has a direct and positive influence on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting and business performance. ESG reporting (ESE) has a direct and positive impact on business performance.
