This study primarily examines the impact of the proportion of female directors on the level and the change in ESG performance and disclosure quality in Taiwanese companies. I also further investigates the effects on the environment, social, and governance dimensions of ESG performance. In this study, a total of firm-year 10,086 observations of non-financial and listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The empirical results reveal that no matter whether the proportion of female directors is high or low, or whether they reach a critical mass or not, there is no significant impact on ESG performance and disclosure quality levels and their changes. There is a significantly better level and improvement in the social dimension only when firms with larger board size and a critical mass of female directors. Furthermore, this study also finds that this positive impact is transmitted from the Human rights and society sub-dimension of social.
