The findings of the study indicate that Corporate Governance (CG) is positively affecting the Corporate Sustainability Performance (CSP) and its dimensions (Economy, Environmental, and Social aspects) significantly. Furthermore, the findings of the study have also disclosed that the CG elements consisting of the rights of shareholders (Category A), The equitable treatment of shareholders (Category B), The role of stakeholders in corporate governance (category C), disclosure principles and transparency (category D), and the responsibilities of the board (Category E) relatively showing positive effects significantly towards the CG and its elements. However, different effects have been found in the elements B and D, where it is showing that the sample companies indicate the weaknesses in the practice of the equitable treatment of shareholders and Disclosure and transparency.
