GREEN INITIATIVES AND CARBON EMISSION IN MALAYSIA

Abstract

This research study examines the relationship between green initiatives and carbon emissions in Malaysia, with a particular focus on the years 2010-2021. The objective of this study is to investigate green initiative, environmental investment, policy on carbon emission, size, and ROA, that influence carbon emissions in Malaysia. The analysis reveals a weak negative correlation between ROA and TA, signifying that larger total assets are associated with a decrease in carbon emissions. However, these results are significant as they indicate potential relationships between environmental regulations, policy on carbon emissions, company profitability, and total assets. This research contributes significantly to the ongoing discourse surrounding green initiatives and their impact on carbon emissions in Malaysia. The results emphasize the importance of sustainable practices and call for a more profound understanding of how environmental investments translate into emissions reductions. Furthermore, the study underscores the need for more effective policy measures and incentives to encourage businesses to adopt green initiatives as part of their environmental stewardship efforts. Ultimately, this research paves the way for further exploration and policy considerations in the pursuit of a greener and more sustainable future for Malaysia.
