Note(s):

This table reports standardized coefficients from fixed-effects regressions, with robust standard errors (clustered by firm) in parentheses. Model 1 includes CSR incentives only. Model 2 adds governance variables and firm characteristics. Model 3 adds environmental factors, and Model 4 includes interaction terms between CSR incentives and environmental factors to test moderation. All models control for firm, industry and year fixed effects. *, ** and *** denote significance at the 10, 5 and 1% levels, respectively
