ABSTRACT
This study examines the impact of green accounting on firm
performance in Nigeria. TobinQ was use to measure the firm value.
The study selected 72 manufacturing firms listed on the Nigerian
Stock Exchange that disclosed green accounting information in line
with GRI-4. Ex- post facto research design was used and secondary
data were collected from annual report of sampled firms from 2012-
2019. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and
correlation analysis while pooled ordinary least squared regression
was employed to test formulated hypotheses. From the analysis it was
discovered that material and energy disclosure have positive and
significant effect on firm performance. Based on these findings, the
study recommends that company’s should develop policy concerning
materials used to produce and package company’s primary product
and services during the reporting period and firms should also make
their operation more sustainable by reporting on their energy
consumption and energy efficiency policy being aware of it’s in
becoming accountable and responsible.
