Green Accounting, Intellectual Capital, and Dividend Policy On Firm Value in Energy Companies

Abstract

This study examines green accounting, intellectual capital, and dividend policy effects on firm value in Indonesian energy companies during 2021-2024. Using multiple linear regression on 48 observations from 12 companies, results show green accounting significantly negatively affects firm value (β = -0.168, p = 0.006), as environmental disclosure signals cost burdens to investors. Intellectual capital demonstrates positive but insignificant influence (β = 0.057, p = 0.230). Dividend policy exhibits significant positive effects (β = 0.324, p = 0.041), signaling financial strength. Simultaneous testing confirms significant collective effects (F = 3.759, p = 0.017), explaining 15.0% of firm value variance. Findings suggest integrated approaches balancing environmental practices, intellectual assets, and shareholder returns optimize value creation in energy sector contexts
