This study investigates the moderating effect of environmental-related innovation on the relationship between environmental performance and financial performance. The results indicate that environmental innovation positively moderates this relationship and that the impact of environmental innovation on improving environmental performance is observable with a lag of one year. The findings are robust when alternative financial performance measures are used.
This study examines whether environmental-related innovation moderates the association between environmental and financial performance measured respectively as carbon emissions and return on assets (ROA). The sample comprises 119 companies subject to Australia's National Greenhouse Energy Reporting Act (NGER) for the period 2009-2017. The results show that environmental innovation positively moderates the relationship between environmental performance and financial performance. The findings also imply that the impact of environmental innovation in improving environmental performance is observable with a 1-year lag. The results are robust to the alternative financial performance measures of Tobin's Q and Altman's Z score. The findings have important implications for company managers and policymakers and provide useful information on innovation's role in enhancing environmental and financial performance.
