This paper examines whether firms’ health decrease risk of non-financial firms listed in the KRX KOSPI during 2005-2016 period. Given previous empirical results that CSR decreases total risk and unsystematic risk, this paper examines that firms’ health in terms of corporate governance, investment, and financing can be a channel that CSR decreases total risk and unsystematic risk in Korea. Firms’ health is proxied by using health scores in the KEJI index, an annual firm-level CSR score, by citizens’ coalition for economic justice. Main results from OLS regression and firm fixed-effect regression are as follows. First, health is significantly and consistently decrease total risk and unsystematic risk. By contrast, negative relation between health and systematic risk is marginally significant in the OLS regression but disappears in the fixed-effect regression. The results imply that firms’ health can facilitate as a channel that CSR decreases total risk and unsystematic risk in Korea. Also the results support previous findings in Korea that both total risk and unsystematic risk is negatively related. The results are robust and qualitatively the same when beta and unsystematic risk is estimated from Fama-French 3-factor model.
