The sample in this study purposive sampling technique, which obtained a total sample of 14 companies with a total observation data of 42 data. The results showes empirical evidence of a positive effect of ESG disclosure on Cost of Capital. This finding indicates that the higher level of ESG disclosure by the company, the higher cost of capital that must be borne.
