Abstract

The energy sector is highly sensitive to environmental issues; Consequently, a company's ability to manage environmental impacts and communicate its sustainability commitments has become increasingly relevant to the creation of corporate value. This study aims to analyze the impact of green accounting implementation and environmental performance on corporate value, while also examining the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, focusing on energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021–2025 period. A purposive sampling method was used, resulting in a sample of 40 companies and 200 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with the aid of SPSS. The results of the primary model indicate that both green accounting implementation and environmental performance have a positive and significant impact on corporate value. While ESG did not strengthen the impact of green accounting, it did strengthen the impact of environmental performance. However, robustness tests revealed that the influence of environmental performance and the moderating effect of ESG are sensitive to the choice of proxy for corporate value; therefore, interpretations should be made with certain caveats.
