Abstract:

This study examines how green finance, environmental performance, and corporate social responsibility disclosure influence firm value via financial performance within the Sri-Kehati index from 2018 to 2022. Using a purposive sampling technique, the research included seven out of 15 companies listed in the index. Secondary data from annual and sustainability reports was analyzed using a panel data regression model in E-Views 10 software. The findings indicate that green finance has a negative and insignificant effect on both financial performance and firm value. Conversely, environmental performance shows a positive and significant impact on both financial performance and firm value. Additionally, economic performance has a positive and significant impact on firm value. When considering financial performance as a moderating variable, green finance has a negligible negative effect on company value, while environmental performance, acting as a mediating variable, has a significant, negative impact on company value through financial performance.

Keywords: green finance, environmental performance, firm value, financial performance, Sri-Kehati
