Abstract
This study is concerned with the analysis of non-financial data related to environmental issues, social responsibility and corporate governance, called ESG data (Environmental, Social, Governance). The companies from the RESPECT Index are the subject of analysis. This suggesting that their ESG results should be high due to their affiliation to the mentioned index. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to verify the view on the high ESG results the companies from the RESPECT Index. To make analysis the data from the ASSET4 ESG database were used. This database is owned by Thomson Reuters, one of the world's major information providers, both for businesses, professionals, and researchers. The analysis of the ESG results obtained by the companies from the RESPECT Index shows that there are big differences in results between the entities, although from the companies, which should meet the highest standards of responsibility, we could expect smaller differences and better results.
