The test was carried out on 100 samples of non-financial companies in 10 ASEAN companies obtained through purposive sampling technique with the research period 2019-2021. Observation points in this study amounted to 400 years of the company. The results showed that the CEO's narcissism had a positive effect on ESG disclosure.
