This thesis examines the influence of governance and regulatory factors on firm performance, particularly focusing on how firms balance shareholder value with sustainability goals. External government regulations define the economic environment in which firms operate, while internal governance practices optimize operations and shareholder returns. Recently, firms have faced growing pressure to adopt climate-friendly practices, especially within the regulatory frameworks of major economies. However, there is limited understanding of how these firms strategically balance economic performance with environmental responsibility. This study addresses three key questions: the impact of government regulations on firm value, the effect of employee investment on innovation outcomes, and how strategic decisions on resource allocation affect emissions among firms in the European Union Emissions Trading System.
