This study examines the associations between board gender diversity and banks' environmental, social and corporate governance performance in the ASEAN context.,The study uses a sample of yearly observations for ASEAN banks over the period 2011–2016. Generalized method of moments (GMM) regression is used for the main models, and the findings are supported by other robustness tests, namely ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and panel models (fixed and random effect regression).,The findings imply that board gender diversity positively influences corporate governance performance, although it has no impact on the banks' environmental and social performance.,This study offers insights to regulators, investors and bank managers concerning board diversity and its impact on environmental, social and corporate governance performance. The findings imply that having a specific percentage of female directors on the board positively influences corporate governance performance. However, the impact of gender diversity on environmental and social performance is not supported.,Few empirical studies have examined the impact of gender diversity on non-financial performance. This study contributes to the debate on the importance of gender diversity by providing empirical evidence for the impact of board gender diversity on three non-performance measures (environmental, social and corporate governance) for ASEAN banks, a topic not previously examined. There is scant attention to it in ASEAN countries, which have unique characteristics, and there remains a gap in the literature regarding the impact of board diversity among banks in this region. The findings of the study are confirmed by several robustness tests.

董事会性别多样性与环境，社会和公司治理绩效：东盟银行的证据

本研究考察了东盟背景下董事会性别多样性与银行环境，社会和公司治理绩效之间的关联。该研究使用了2011-2016年间对东盟银行的年度观察样本。主要模型使用广义矩量法（GMM）回归，其结果得到其他鲁棒性检验的支持，即普通最小二乘（OLS）回归和面板模型（固定和随机效应回归）。性别多样性虽然对银行的环境和社会绩效没有影响，但却对公司治理绩效产生了积极影响。本研究为监管机构，投资者和银行经理提供了关于董事会多样性及其对环境，社会和公司治理绩效影响的见解。调查结果表明，董事会中有特定比例的女性董事会对公司治理绩效产生积极影响。但是，不支持性别多样性对环境和社会绩效的影响。很少有实证研究检验性别多样性对非财务绩效的影响。这项研究为董事会性别多样性对东盟银行的三项非绩效指标（环境，社会和公司治理）的影响提供了经验证据，从而为有关性别多样性的重要性的辩论做出了贡献，这是以前没有研究过的话题。在具有独特特征的东盟国家中，对此缺乏关注，并且在有关该地区银行间董事会多元化的影响的文献中仍存在空白。
