Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between Green Financial Management (GFM), Green Operational Practices (GOP), and Financial Performance (FP) within Indonesian firms, offering new insights into the strategic importance of sustainability in financial management. We conducted a multivariate analysis of data obtained from a sample of 256 firms in Indonesia. The results reveal a significant positive association between GFM and GOP and a subsequent improvement in FP. Moreover, our study finds that the Regulatory Environment (RE) and Market Competition (MC) play moderating roles in the GFM–GOP relationship. In contrast, the GOP serves as a mediator between GFM and FP. Despite various limitations, this research offers crucial empirical support for the idea that green finance management may enhance a company’s environmental responsibility and financial success. The report also identifies areas for further investigation, emphasising how crucial sustainability is to corporate strategy planning.
