Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of ESG factors on profit growth in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. ESG factors are proxied by carbon emissions and CSR funds. Profit growth is proxied by profit growth for each annual period. Data were obtained from company sustainability reports with a total of 85 observations and analyzed using panel data regression with E-views 12 software. The results show that carbon emissions and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds have a partial significant effect on profit growth. The control variable, firm size (SIZE), does not have a significant effect on profit growth.
