The purpose of this study was to provide a psychological mechanism of how consumer perceptions of ESG activities. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to examine (1) how ESG affects corporate image (perceived warmth-competence), (2) how perceived corporate image influence perceived price fairness, and (3) these effects may affect consumer response such as brand attitude, loyalty, and willingness to pay more towards corporate. The proposed research model was tested using structural equation modeling. According to the results of data analysis, the results revealed that (1) environment of ESG had a positive impact on perceived warmth and social of ESG had a positive impact on both perceived warmth and competence.
