The paper analyzes board characteristics of publicly listed US firms and finds evidence that support the diversity theory. In particular, that board gender diversity (proportion of female directors) is positively associated with firms’ social commitment to human rights, product responsibility, and their community and workforce, evidencing female directors’ contribution to firms’ sustainability.
