  • Green accounting and financial performance in the Indian pharmaceutical sector: a panel data analysis (2009-2024)   Order a copy of this article
    by Adrita Sarkar 
    Abstract: This study evaluates the impact of green accounting on the financial performance of ten major Indian pharmaceutical companies over 15 years (2009-10 to 2023-24). It finds a positive, statistically significant relationship between environmental expenditures and financial metrics like net sales, PAT, ROA, and ROCE. While compliance-driven practices yield financial benefits, most firms lack strategic integration of sustainability. The study calls for stronger policies, including wider BRSR compliance and third-party audits, to enhance disclosure quality. As one of the first India-specific, sectoral longitudinal analyses, it offers valuable insights into aligning environmental responsibility with financial strategy, contributing meaningfully to the ESG discourse in high-impact industries.
    Keywords: green accounting; financial performance; ESG integration; environmental disclosure; pharmaceutical sector; sustainability reporting; panel regression.
