The Effect of Eco-Efficiency and Eco-Innovation Disclosure on Firm Value: Does Profitability Matter?

Abstract

This research aims to test whether profitability strengthens the influence of eco innovation and eco efficiency disclosures on the value of mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Research data was obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports from the Indonesian Stock Exchange website and company websites. The sample used was 39 companies that met the criteria and were listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018 – 2021. The sample data calculation technique used the cross sectional method via the eviews application. Hypothesis testing in this research uses multiple linear regression analysis methods. The results of this research show that eco innovation and eco efficiency have a positive effect on firm value, and profitability has an effect as a moderating predictor variable in the relationship between eco innovation and eco efficiency on firm value. This study differentiates samples based on more diverse dependent variables and involves moderating variables as amplifiers. Previous research did not use the two dependent variables, namely eco innovation and eco efficiency simultaneously so that the value of the company could not be determined as a whole whether the implementation of both had an effect on the value of the company. Then the researchers found that investors considered the application of eco innovation and eco efficiency to the value of mining sector companies.
