Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of Carbon Emission
Disclosure and Firm Value on moderate of Eco efficiency relationship. Carbon
Emission Disclosure as an independent variable is measured by dummy. Firm value
as dependent variable is measured by Tobins’Q. This
research using Leverage, Firm Size, profitability as control variable. The
research uses 495 samples, comprising the data of 99 manufacturing companies
listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over five years, from 2017 to 2021. The
sampling method in this research is purposive sampling. The analysis technique
in this study using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that
Carbon Emission Disclosure has a significant positive influence on the Firm
Value, while Eco-Efficiency has a significant negative influence. The
implications of this research it is hoped that investors will be increasingly
concerned about the environment by considering the environmental impacts
produced by companies as a consideration for determining investment decisions
because investors are one of the parties that can pressure companies to
implement environmental policies.

INTRODUCTION
Economic growth has increased along with
marked developments in the industrial world in recent years. With the development
of the industrial world today, it turns out that it is not spared from
environmental issues such as global warming and carbon emissions. Issues
regarding the environment are not only a topic of discussion in Indonesia, but
in various parts of the world. Climate change has become the most significant
environmental issue and has attracted worldwide attention
In 2030 the Meteorology, Climatology and
Geophysics Agency or BMKG predicts that Indonesia will experience a temperature
increase of 0.5 degrees Celsius (CNN Indonesia,
2019). Therefore, to support Indonesia's commitment to contribute to
maintaining global temperature, Indonesia has started to carry out carbon
trading and implementation of carbon pricing which will be carried out in
Indonesia based on Presidential Decree No. 98 of 2021 (Directorate General of Climate Change Control, 2021). In
implementing the UNFCC regarding climate change, several countries agreed to
prevent and reduce greenhouse gases, known as the Kyoto Protocol. Countries
that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol will automatically be legally bound
regarding the policies in it. The purpose of the Kyoto Protocol is to maintain
GHG concentrations in the atmosphere so that they are not at a level that can
harm the climate system earth (Kılıç & Kuzey, 2019).
Regarding accounting practices that are
currently developing in Indonesia, the government issued regulations regarding
the environment, namely in the form of Environmental Law No. 46 of 2017
concerning Environmental Economic Instruments. Furthermore, the Financial
Services Authority (OJK) issued OJK regulation Number 51/POJK.03/2017
concerning the implementation of sustainable finance for Financial Services Institutions
in order to create a financial system that applies sustainable principles to
suppress corporate responsibility to the environment. All companies must
contribute and support the government's move towards reducing carbon emissions.
Companies can reduce their carbon emissions by managing their business by
carbon accounting (Kılıç & Kuzey, 2019; Rahmanita, 2020). The concept of
carbon accounting is part of environmental accounting that provides information
about carbon accounting from industrial processes, setting carbon reduction
targets, reporting systems, and developing carbon reduction programs. This is
also known as disclosure of carbon emissions (Karim et al., 2021).
Eco-Efficiency
refers to the means of providing competitive goods and
services to meet human needs and improve quality of life, while gradually
reducing the entire cycle of ecological impact and resource intensity to a
consistent level (Wan et al., 2015). Eco-Efficiency can be a strategic
goal for sustainable development in a company's business and can make a low
carbon society (Yook et al., 2017). The results of
the study show that disclosure of carbon emissions has a positive and
significant effect on company value because disclosing carbon emissions is a
form of company concern for the environment which the market responds
positively to and forms the basis for investor considerations in assessing
company sustainability (Hardiansyah et al., 2021),
while in other studies revealed that carbon emissions have no effect on firm
value (Rachmawati, 2021).
This research is motivated by several
concerns about the environment. The initial motivation in this study was to
investigate carbon emission disclosures in Indonesia that could influence
public judgment. Disclosure of carbon emissions will not only make it easier
for companies to gain stakeholder support but also affect company value (Binti et al., 2017). Therefore, this
disclosure is no longer considered as an expense because it can increase the
value of the company. thus showing that Carbon Emission Disclosure has a
positive and significant effect on company value because Carbon Emission
Disclosure is a form of concern for the environment (Hardiyansah et al., 2021).
In the previous research discussed the issue of Carbon Emission Disclosure,
Green Accounting and Firm Value (Anggita et al., 2022). In this case another motivation for this research
is to fill the gaps in the previous literature with a new variable that will
replace Green Accounting. Because there are still contradictory results between
Carbon Emission Disclosure and Firm Value. Eco-Efficiency will be a substitute
for the Green Accounting variable to find out whether it can support other
variables and also there is still a lack of research on Eco-Efficiency. This
discrepancy has created motivation to research Carbon Emission Disclosure with
firm value supported by the Eco-Efficiency variable.
This research examines manufacturing
companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for a period of five years
(2017 – 2021). This research period began in 2017 because in that year
companies in Indonesia had started issuing Sustainability Reports by
implementing the GRI Standards. The purpose of this study is to test and
analyze: (1) does Carbon Emission Disclosure affect Firm Value? (2) will
Eco-Efficiency strengthen the relationship between Carbon Emission Disclosure
and Firm Value?
The significance of this research is to
understand the relationship between Carbon Emission Disclosure and Firm Value
with Eco-Efficiency as a moderating variable. Theoretical
contribution means that this research is expected to add to the academic
literature by testing carbon emission disclosure on Firm Value with
Eco-Efficiency as a moderating variable. Research contributions in the
development of science include additional empirical evidence, contributions of
ideas, thoughts and additional information for measuring the value of a
company.
Furthermore, this study implies that policy makers should
be aware that companies in Indonesia must disclose their carbon emissions not
only as a voluntary but mandatory activity, but beneficial for companies to
gain a good image and to increase the value of their companies. Carbon Emission
Disclosure can be used as a government instrument to monitor the level of
carbon emissions produced by companies, so that the government's goal of
reducing carbon emission levels in Indonesia can be achieved properly (Hardiyansah et al., 2021).
Gray et al., (1995)
says that legitimacy theory is a basis for a social contract where all business
entities, including companies that live side by side with the community environment,
have a social contract that is stated directly or indirectly. Legitimacy theory
provides insight to companies to make social and environmental disclosures. The
theory of legitimacy underlies a company that has the initiative and is
voluntary in reporting or presenting information regarding the applied
environment and social (Mousa, et. al., 2015). This legitimacy
causes the company to avoid things that are not desirable and can increase the
value of the company (Brown & Deegan, 1998). Therefore it can
be concluded that the sustainability of companies will depend on the impact of
their goals in allocating their economic resources to the community in
repairing social inequalities and reducing the impact of environmental damage
due to company operations.
Stakeholder theory is
the middle theory in this study. Basically states that a company is an entity
that has an obligation not only to act in its own interest but also to provide
benefits to its stakeholders. Stakeholders here include creditors, suppliers,
shareholders, consumers, communities, governments and other stakeholders (Hörisch et al., 2014). Stakeholder
theory states that companies are not only responsible for maximizing the
interests of their owners and investors, but they are also responsible for
providing benefits to society, communities, and government. Stakeholders are
groups or individuals who can influence or be affected by the process of
achieving the goals of an organization (Harmony, 2013).
Signal theory is also the
middle theory in this research. This theory is widely used for Carbon Emission
Disclosure in sustainability reports. Signaling theory explains how signals of
success or failure of management are communicated to owners. Signal theory is
related to information asymmetry. poor performance will not be trusted by the
market (Wolk et al., 2017). Signal theory was
developed to solve information asymmetry problems. Complete, relevant, accurate
and timely information is needed by investors as an analytical tool in making
investment decisions (Connelly et al., 2011). Published
information will provide a signal for investors to make decisions. If the
information content is positive, market participants are expected to analyze
the information as good news (Kurnia et al., 2020).
The
relationship between Carbon Emission Disclosure and Firm Value can be explained
through the theory of legitimacy and signaling. The value of a company reflects
the views of investors on how the company manages its functions, whether it is
managed properly or not. High company value makes the market more responsive
and makes investors believe not only in the company's performance, but also in
its future prospects. Based on the signaling theory, companies disclose
information related to the environment, especially regarding disclosure of
carbon emissions. Emission Disclosure has a positive effect on Firm Value (Hardiyansah et al., 2021).
Environmental responsibility is one way to increase competitive advantage for
companies and investor confidence (Okpala & Iredele, 2019). Carbon Emission
Disclosure can increase company value because investors are more focused on
global environmental issues in the future (Desai et al.,
2022)
but according to research (Kurnia et al., 2020)
said that the disclosure of carbon emissions has no effect on firm value. Thus,
the hypothesis that can be developed as follows:
H1:
Carbon Emission Disclosure has a positive effect on firm value
The
relationship between Eco-Efficiency and Firm Value can be explained through
Signaling and Legitimacy Theory. A company that attaches importance to
legitimacy in creating or increasing corporate value today is not only
concerned with pure profit, but also considers the needs of its stakeholders in
a healthy environment where the company's operations meet expectations (Septianingrum, 2022). Business
actors who have implemented Eco-Efficiency into their company's operations have
advantages over companies that have not implemented eco-efficiency, such as a
better company image, higher share price, and higher company value. Thus
producing a positive relationship between eco-efficiency and firm value (Panggau & Septiani, 2017,Rodríguez-García et al., 2022).
According
to stakeholder theory, Eco-efficiency is a company's effort to get a good
response from stakeholders, given the surrounding environmental conditions that
force companies to be able to utilize environmental resources as efficiently as
possible by carrying out resource efficiency that can harm the environment. Eco-Efficiency
has a positive influence on firm value. Because when a company implements
Eco-Efficiency, the company is considered to have a better future compared to
companies that do not implement Eco-Efficiency (Dewi & Rahmianingsih, 2020). Likewise, with
other research which states that Eco-Efficiency has a positive effect on firm
value (Osazuwa & Che-Ahmad,
2015). Eco-Efficiency can strengthen the effect of
Disclosure of carbon emissions on company value. This responsibility can be
poured out through a sustainability report which will be published by each
company. The existence of disclosure or more information on the company is an
assessment for investors to invest shares in the company (Rodríguez-García et al., 2022).
H2:
Eco-Efficiency can strengthen the relationship between Carbon Emission
Disclosure and Firm Value

METHOD
1. Sample
Section
This research is a study that
discusses causal relationships or the quality of the independent and dependent
variables as well as moderating variables that strengthen or weaken the
interrelationships between variables. This study has the main objective of
knowing the effect of Carbon Emission Disclosure and Firm Value on
Eco-Efficiency as a moderating variable, namely by testing the hypotheses that
have been prepared. This research is a quantitative research, namely research
that is expected to be able to answer specific statements or hypotheses and be
able to achieve a good validity value. The data used in this study are
secondary data obtained from annual reports, sustainability reports, and
company websites.
This study uses secondary data in the
form of company financial reports and sustainability reports of manufacturing
companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the last five years from
2017 – 2021. To obtain the required sample, researchers use a purposive
sampling technique by setting certain criteria according to the research
objectives for answer research problems. Sampling criteria are as follows:
1.
Manufacturing companies
listed on the IDX for the last five years 2017 – 2021
2.
The Company publishes
complete financial statements for the annual reporting period ending December
31.
3.
The company publishes an
Annual Report or Sustainability Report in the period 2017 – 2021
4.
The company's financial
statements use IDR or Rupiah currency
5.
The company explicitly
discloses its carbon emissions (at least one item in the disclosure of carbon
emissions).
B. Research
Variables
1. Independent
Variables
Disclosure of carbon emissions is
measured using analytical methods. This method uses a checklist of carbon
emissions adopted from research conducted by (Choi et al., 2013). To measure how a
company's carbon disclosure is, Choi et al developed a checklist based on a
request for information sheet provided by the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project).
There are five main disclosure groups: climate change, greenhouse gas
emissions, energy consumption, reductions and costs of greenhouse gas
emissions, and accountability carbon emissions. Each group of disclosures is
further broken down into 18 acquisition items.

2. Dependent
Variables
Firm value is the value obtained by the
company where this value is used to measure the quality of the company and the
prosperity of its shareholders or investors (Kurnia et al., 2020). The dependent
variable used in this study is company value. Firm value is measured using the
Tobin's Q ratio which compares the ratio of stock market value to book value.
Tobin's Q measurement was adopted through research (Desai et al., 2022)
formulated as follows:
The market value of
equity is calculated from the closing share price multiplied by the number of
shares outstanding. The book value of debt is calculated from the total working
capital, inventory book value, and long-term debt.
3. Moderating Variables Moderating

Moderating variables
(moderating variables) are variables that have a strong dependency effect on the
relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable,
according to Pratiwi and Zulaikha (2016).
In this study, Eco-Efficiency as a moderating variable will be measured using
ISO 14001. The presence of ISO 14001 assures all stakeholders that the company
has fulfilled its obligations to the environment. Information regarding the
company's participation in following ISO 14001 is obtained from the annual
report or sustainability report and other sources. Eco-efficiency is measured
using a dummy referring to the research (Osazuwa & Che-Ahmad, 2016)
by giving a value of 1 to eco-efficient companies and 0 to non-eco-efficient
companies.
4. Control
Variables
a. Leverage
The leverage ratio in this study is
proxied by the Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR). Debt to Assets Ratio (DAR) simply
means the comparison between the total debt owned by the company and the total
assets owned by the company (Malau & Murwaningsari, 2018; Miloud, 2022).
b. Profitability
Profitability
has an important meaning for the company because it is one of the bases for
assessing the condition of a company. Profitability in this study is proxied by
return on assets (ROA). ROA is a ratio that shows the return on total assets
used in a company and can show the value of a company in obtaining management
effectiveness in managing its assets. This variable is adopted through research
(Dewi, 2021; Malau, 2019; Yadav, 2022).
c.
Firm Size
Company size (size) is the scale of a
company can be seen from the size of the total assets, log size, stock market
value and others). The size of a company can affects the ability to bear risks
that may arise from the risks that will be faced. In this study, firm size was
adopted through research (Ho et al., 2019; Sudha, 2020; Malau, 2020). This research is
formulated as follows:
d. Research
Models
The method used in this research is
multiple linear analysis with one dependent variable, one independent variable,
one moderating variable, and 3 controlling variables. This research has the
following regression model equation:
Information:
FV = Firm Value
α = Constant
CED = Carbon Emissions Disclosure
ECO = Eco-Efficiency
R&D =Research & Development
Age = Firm Age
ROA = Return on Assets (proxy of profitability)
Size = Company Size
е = Errors
β = Coefficient of each variable
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Of the 178 manufacturing
companies listed on the IDX, however, there were 79 companies that did not meet
the criteria, so there were only 99 companies that were used as research
samples. During the study period (five years), there were 495 samples, but from
the outlier testing carried out on these 495 samples using the Studentized
Deleted Residual (SDR) method, there were 194 data that had values > 1.96
and <1.96 so that the remaining samples 301 which was finally used for
further testing.

Based on the table
above, we know that a lower limit dL value of 1.692
can be obtained. The results of the autocorrelation test above can be seen and
it can be concluded that the Durbin
Watson value is 0.787
which is still lower than dL, therefore healing will
be carried out using the Cochranne Orcutt method.

b. Dependent Variable: Lag_FV |
The
existence of autocorrelation in linear regression causes the sample variance to
not be able to describe the population variance also causes the resulting
regression model to be used to estimate the value of the dependent variable
from the value of certain variables, the regression coefficients obtained are
less accurate. Therefore, in this study the researchers decided to use the Cocrane Orcutt method. After carrying out the
transformation using the Cocrane Orcutt it turns out
that the Durbin Watson result is 1.808 where the value is actually greater than
the dL, so that this research passes the
Autocorrelation test.
D. Moderation
Analysis Test
1. Determination
Correlation Test (R2)
The coefficient of determination test is used to measure how far the
model's ability to explain the variation of the independent variable to the dependent
variable. The coefficient of determination is shown by the R² value of the
regression model used to determine the variability of the dependent variable
which can be explained by the independent variables.

From Table 11 the value of Adj. R square of 0.655, it can
be concluded that the independent variables, moderation and interaction of
moderation have an influence of 65.5% on the dependent variable.
2. F
test
The F test functions to find whether or not there is a simultaneous
(simultaneous) effect between the independent variables on the dependent
variable.

The test results of multiple linear regression
analysis show that there is a sig value indicating the number 0.00 <0.05,
which means that the independent variables, moderation, interaction of
moderation and control have a significant effect simultaneously on the
dependent variable.
3. T
test
Partial test (t test) is used to determine whether the independent
variable has a significant effect on the dependent variable. The decision
requirement for the t test is that if the sig t value <0.05, the independent
variable partially affects the dependent variable (Ho is rejected) and vice
versa. In this study the t test used LAG due to data abnormality so that it was
transformed so that the data was normal.

3. Moderated Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
Based on the results of the regression
analysis on the t test, the regression equation can be obtained as follows:
Y = 0.349 +
0.317X1 – 0.160X2
The partial test results are as follows:
a)
Effect
of Carbon Emission Disclosure on Firm Value
Based on the results
of the t test on the regression model, the t value was 1.940 with a
significance of 0.053/2 = 0.027 <0.05. These results show a positive
direction with an unstandardized beta coefficient of 0.317. So, it can be
concluded that H1 is accepted
b)
Eco-Efficiency as a Moderator of Carbon Emission Disclosure of Firm Value
Based on the results of the t test on the
regression model, the t value is -0.808 with a significance of 0.420/2 = 0.210
> 0.05. This result shows a negative direction with an unstandardized beta
coefficient of -0.160. So it can be concluded that H2
is rejected, which means that Eco-Efficiency does not strengthen the effect of
Carbon Emission disclosure on Firm Value
CONCLUSION
This paper has explained the
relationship between Carbon Emission Disclosure and Firm Value with
Eco-Efficiency as a moderating variable. This study shows that carbon emission
disclosure has a positive effect on firm value, but eco-efficiency cannot
moderate this relationship. Based on these results, we know that carbon
disclosure greatly influences stakeholder assessment of a company. This study
only uses three control variables that can affect firm value, namely, leverage,
firm size and profitability.
The limitations that can be
refined in further research are the first regarding scoring level of disclosure
using the criterion 1 to be disclosed and 0 if not disclosed. This assessment
has not considered based on information in the priority order of importance of
financial disclosure items. There are also several implications in this
research including that with this research it is hoped that investors will be
more concerned about the environment by considering the environmental impacts
produced by companies as a consideration for determining investment decisions
because investors are one of the parties that can pressure companies to
implement environmental policies. For accounting and environmental regulators,
it is expected to be able to create reporting standards that are relevant to
the needs of accounting parties and stakeholders, as well as to make
regulations for industry players related to the environment must be realized
immediately.
The recommendations that can
be given for use in further research include bfor
companies to disclose carbon emissions included in the Sustainability Report so
as to increase the value of the company. For Further Research Increase the
number of research samples by adding observation periods and other industrial
sectors, then changing proxies in the calculation of each variable using the
latest proxies. companies that disclose carbon, then compare the effect
directly between companies that are intensive in carrying out carbon disclosure
emissions or not.
