We examine the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores and financial resilience in BRICS stock markets, using the United States as a benchmark. Firm-level data from 2016 to 2024 are employed, and financial resilience is assessed ex ante using three risk-based measures: stock return volatility, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and Expected Shortfall (ES), the latter introduced as a novel proxy in this context. The results indicate that in BRICS economies, higher environmental and social scores, as well as stronger overall ESG performance, are associated with lower tail risk and volatility, reflecting greater financial resilience in weaker institutional settings.
