Also, this study analyzes the effect of environmental performance on the financial performance. The data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression Data collection techniques are carried out using annual reports of companies receiving PROPER Award and listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchanges in the year of 2015–2019. The results showed that Audit Committee, firm characteristics, and ISO 14001 significantly influenced environmental performance. Another result is that environmental performance has a positive effect on the financial performance. This study contributes as a reference for the government to make environmental policies so as to encourage the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs).

The next studies should use other proxies to measure environmental performance and use other data collection methods such as interviews.
