ABSTRACT This study aims to
analyze the influence of corporate strategy, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM),
company size, and leverage on environmental performance. The object of
research chosen is companies incorporated in the primary consumer goods
industry, non-primary consumer goods, and health (manufacturing) listed on
the IDX in the period 2017 � 2020. The sampling technique used is purposive
sampling. The data that meets the criteria for processing amounts to 97
observational data. This study used a multiple linear regression model as an
analysis technique and use PLS to process the data. The results of this study
found that the ERM has a positive and Leverage has a negative effect on
environmental performance while the differentiation strategy, ERM, company
size, and leverage do not affect environmental performance. |
INTRODUCTION
All profit-oriented companies must have the same goal,
namely maximizing profits. Some companies feel that carrying out social and
environmental activities will actually increase the company's expenses instead
of increasing profits. However, over time, the company's role in terms of
social and environmental responsibility has now become quite important to
consider. In carrying out its activities the company cannot escape being in the
community. Especially for companies whose activities are producing or
manufacturing activities. Waste generated from the company's production
activities can have a negative impact on the environment, for example waste and
pollution problems. This causes manufacturing companies to have a high level of
industrial and environmental risk. The Indonesian government has issued various
regulations related to the environment. Among them are PP on the Implementation
of Environmental Protection and Management, namely PP no.22/th
2021, Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Number 6/th 2021 concerning procedures and requirements for
processing hazardous and toxic waste materials and the latest is Regulation of
the Minister of Environment and Forestry No. 8/ th
2022 regarding the pioneering development of environmental generation. There
are various factors that affect the environmental performance of a company
including corporate strategy, ERM, company size and leverage.
The company's business strategies discussed are Cost
Leadership Strategy and Differentiation Strategy. Strategy Cost Leadership
Strategy seeks to reduce or reduce costs that exist within the company and will
have a low environmental performance profile this is due to the efforts made by
the company in cutting all types of costs so that activities related to
environmental performance will also experience the impact of a decline these
costs. On the other hand, companies that use the Differentiation Strategy will
make product differentiation that aims to pay more attention to environmental
issues or make products that are more environmentally friendly.����
Risk management has also become a fundamental concern
in today's dynamic global environment. The concept of enterprise risk
management (ERM) has been widely recognized as an integral and comprehensive
risk management innovation in an organization. The higher the level of ERM in a
company, it is expected that the company can mitigate the risks that will occur
in carrying out its operational activities and this greatly affects the
company's environmental performance. Environmental Performance is an important
part of the risk management process, which involves identifying the appropriate
risks, defining their impact and demonstrating how to reduce the likelihood of
risks and their consequences.
Company size is often proxied by the number of assets
owned by the company. Assets are assets or resources owned by a company. The
larger the assets owned, the company can invest well and meet product demand.
This further expands the market share achieved and will affect the company's
profitability. With the greater asset value, the company's opportunities to
improve environmental performance will also be greater in research (Rindawati and Asyik 2015).
Factors that can affect the value of the company is
the level of leverage of a company's financial performance. Leverage can be
understood as an estimator of the risks inherent in a company. This means that
the greater the leverage, the greater the investment risk. Leverage needs to be
managed because the use of high debt will increase the value of the company.
Leverage can be measured by the Debt to Equity Ratio
(DER). This is in line with research conducted by (Firdausi &
Prihandana, 2022) which
states that there is a negative effect of leverage on improving environmental
performance.
This research is expected to provide knowledge and insight in studying and understanding policies and strategies that can affect the company's performance on the environment, the strategies taken will have an impact on natural resources and the environment so that companies must realize that they have a responsibility towards social and environmental life. This study aims to analyze and empirically test the effect of Corporate Strategy, Enterprise Risk Management, Company Size and Leverage on Environmental Performance.
Agency
Theory
Agency
relationship is a contract in which one or more people (principals) instruct
another person (agent) to perform a service on behalf of the principal and
authorize the agent to make the best decisions for the principal. If the
principal and agent have the same goal, the agent will support and carry out
everything ordered by the principal, otherwise if the principal's goal is different
from the agent's goal, then an agency conflict will occur. (Jensen and Meckling, 1976).
Legitimacy
Theory:
Legitimacy theory states that an organization can only
survive if the community in which it is located feels that the organization
operates based on a value system that is commensurate with the value system
owned by the community. The existence of the company is very much determined by
the community, because the relationship between the two influences each other.
Thus, a good social contract is needed so that there is a balance so that there
are agreements that protect the interests of the company.
The
Influence of Corporate Strategy on Environmental Performance
Companies that use a Cost Leadership strategy will
find it difficult to have good environmental performance because the company
will pressure management to minimize expenses that are not considered important
and will prevent companies from being more concerned about the environment (Biswas & Roy,
2015). As
according to agency theory, company management tends to behave
opportunistically, driven by self-interest (maximizing wealth) so that to get
maximum profit, companies with low cost
strategies will only be oriented towards the company's core activities and
minimize environmental costs and ignore environmental legitimacy. Therefore,
companies that use this strategy will have a negative impact on the
environment. On the other hand, if the company applies a differentiation
strategy, it will allow the company to use environmentally friendly materials,
environmentally friendly production processes by recycling or reducing
hazardous factory waste, although this environmentally friendly strategy may
increase production costs. so that companies with a differentiation strategy
will have better environmental performance. So the
hypothesis of this study is
H1a:
Cost Leadership Strategy has a negative effect on Environmental
Performance
H1b:
Differentiation Strategy has a positive effect on environmental performance
Effect
of ERM on Environmental Performance
Companies
need to provide management tools to manage risk (Widjaya
and Sugiarti, 2013). As a good risk manager, you must
be able to increase business certainty and have a competitive advantage and
superior company value. In addition, a manager must also think about the
company's impact on the surrounding community, which can be seen from how much environmental
performance and concern it is social activities
carried out by the company. ERM strengthens the trust and loyalty of the company's
stakeholders. Thus, it can be assumed that ERM can be an effective strategy to
mitigate risk and in turn, significantly reduce the risk of the company. ERM
shows that agents (management) have guidelines for carrying out activities by
taking into account the risks that may occur in the future, including the risk
of lawsuits due to neglecting the environment. ERM targets the company's
overall strategy and will endeavor to operate in compliance with applicable
laws and regulations to gain legitimacy, including environmental laws and
regulations. Companies that have good environmental performance will get a good
reputation in the community. In general, environmental regulations have motivated the market
and have
�had a positive effect on
the growth of the atmospheric environment's total factor productivity (Miao,
2019). Based on this argument, the following hypothesis is derived.
H
2: ERM has a positive effect on environmental performance
The Effect of
Firm Size on Environmental Performance
Agency theory generally states that the larger the
size of the company, the wider the disclosure of environmental performance will
be. This theory explains that the bigger the company, the bigger the agency
costs. Companies with large sizes tend to disclose more information than
relatively small companies. This is because large companies will face greater
risks than small companies. Theoretically, large companies will not be
separated from political pressure, namely the pressure to carry out social
responsibility. The results of the theoretical explanation above are supported
by research conducted by (Oktafia, 2017) which
explains that there is a positive influence between company size and the
disclosure of social and environmental responsibility.
Research conducted by (Dewi & Priyadi, 2016) also states that
company size has a positive influence on the disclosure of corporate
responsibility in line with research conducted by (Nur & Priantinah, 2012). However, this is
not in line with research conducted by (Kurnianingsih, 2014) which explains
that company size does not affect the disclosure of environmental performance.
In addition, (Subiantoro & Mildawati, 2015) also explain that
company size does not affect the disclosure of environmental performance by
companies. Based on the explanation above, the hypothesis is:
H3:
Firm size has a positive effect on Environmental Performance
Effect
of Leverage on Environmental Performance
The relationship between leverage and disclosure of
environmental performance can be related to agency theory where the management
of companies with a high level of leverage will reduce the disclosure of social
responsibility. This is because companies with high leverage ratios will result
in high supervision carried out by debtholders on company activities.
Therefore, management will reduce the disclosure of corporate responsibility so
as not to be in the spotlight of debtholders. The above theory is supported by
the results of research conducted by (Nur & Priantinah, 2012) which explains
that leverage proxied by DER hurts CSR disclosure. This is to research
conducted by (Giannarakis, 2014) which states that
leverage hurts CSR disclosure. However, this is not in line with the research
conducted by (Dewi & Priyadi, 2016) which states that
there is no influence between leverage on CSR disclosure. Then the hypothesis
is H4: Leverage hurts Environmental Performance

OPERATIONAL
DEFINITION OF VARIABLES AND MEASUREMENTS
Environmental
Performance
According to ISO 14001, environmental performance is
about how well an organization manages the environmental aspects of its
activities, products, and services and their impact on the environment. In
Indonesia, environmental performance can be measured by PROPER (Performance
Rating Program in Environmental Management). The approach to calculating PROPER
uses the Score variable according to the achievement of the PROPER color level
of a manufacturing company. If the company gets the highest color rating,
namely gold, it will be given a score of 5, a score of 4 for a green rating, a
score of 3 for a blue color, a score of 2 for a red rating, a score of 1 for a
black rating. These five colors represent the PROPER Performance rating system.
Corporate
Strategy
�The first independent variable is organizational
strategy. According to Banker, et. al., (2014), the formula in organizational
strategy is divided into two, namely, cost leadership strategy and
differentiation strategy. A cost leadership strategy is a low-cost competitive
strategy aimed at a broad market and requires aggressively building with
efficient-scale facilities, aggressive price reductions, tight cost and cost control, avoiding marginal
customers, and minimizing costs such as R&D, service, sales force,
advertising, and so on. A differentiation strategy is an active strategy to
gain above-average profits in a particular business because brand loyalty will
make consumers' sensitivity to price low.

Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM)
Enterprise Risk Management is measured using the ERM
index and calculated using the following formula: Enterprise Risk Management
can help organizations deal with uncertainty by analyzing annual reports in the
form of risks and opportunities effectively which increases the organization's
capacity to build value for shareholders. Enterprise risk management (ERM)
consists of 108 items covering eight dimensions, namely: (1) internal
environment, (2) goal setting, (3) event identification, (4) risk assessment, (5)
risk response, ( 6) monitoring activities, (7)
information and communication, and (8) monitoring.
Company
Size
Company size is a scale to
measure the size of a company. Usually to measure the
size of the company can be seen from the number of assets or total assets owned
by the company. The larger the assets owned by the company, the larger the size
of the company, and the smaller the assets of the company, the smaller the size
of the company (Nuraini, 2014). Company size is obtained from Ln Assets.
Leverage
Leverage is a funding policy related to the company's
decision to finance the company. Companies that use debt have obligations for
interest and principal costs. The use of debt (external financing) has a
considerable risk of non-payment of debt, so the use of debt needs to pay
attention to the company's ability to generate profits. The higher the leverage
in the company will have the possibility for the company to reduce environmental
performance because by reducing disclosure of environmental performance it will
not be in the spotlight by debtholders.
DATA
ANALYSIS METHOD
Classic
Assumption
��� Data Normality Test This test is intended
to determine whether the existing data is normally distributed or not. Data
that is normally distributed will minimize the possibility of bias (Subiantoro & Mildawati, 2015). The autocorrelation
test aims to test whether in the linear regression model there is a correlation
between the confounding error in period t and the confounding error in period
t1 (previous), using the Durbin-Watson Test (DW Test) which is intended to
determine whether there is a correlation between the observational data or not.
In this test to avoid autocorrelation either positive or negative, the value of
dw is 2 < dw < +2. The multicollinearity test aims to test whether the
regression model found a correlation between the independent variables
(independent). A good regression model should not correlate with the
independent variables. In this test, to be free from multilinearity symptoms,
the value is also Variance Inflation Factor or VIF < 10 and tolerance value
> 0.10. The heteroscedasticity test aims to test whether in the regression
model there is an inequality of variance from the residuals of one observation
to another observation. If the variance and residual from one observation to
another observation remain, it is called Homoscedasticity, and if it is different it is called Heteroscedasticity. This study uses
the Glejser test for heteroscedasticity testing by using the absolute value of
the residual on the independent variable. Therefore, to be free from
heteroscedasticity symptoms, the sig value is > 0.05. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis The analytical method
used to test the hypothesis in this study is the multiple regression model.
Regression is an analytical tool used to measure how far the influence of the
independent variable on the dependent variable.

Coefficient
of Determination Test (R2)
(Ghozali, 2011) said that the
coefficient of determination (R�) measures how far the model's ability to
explain the variation of the dependent variable is. The value of the
coefficient of determination is used to determine the suitability or accuracy
of the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable
in the regression equation. t-test (Partial Individual Test)
�The t-test is used to partially test the
effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, namely the effect
of each independent variable consisting of company strategy, ERM, company size,
and leverage on the company's environmental performance which is the dependent
variable. This test uses a significance level of (α = 5% or 0.05) with the
basis for making decisions, namely: (1) If the significance value is > 0.05
or t count < t table, then there is no effect of the independent variable on
the dependent variable. So the hypothesis is rejected.
(2) If the significance value is < 0.05 or t count > t table, then there
is an effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. Then the
hypothesis is accepted.
F
Test (Overall Significance Test)
This test is used to test the feasibility of the
explanatory variables simultaneously which is carried out to see the effect of
the independent variables as a whole on the dependent variable. This test used
a significance level of 5% (0.05). With the basis of decision making, namely:
(1). If Fcount > Ftable and sig value < 0.05, this indicates that the
independent variable influences the dependent variable, which means that H1 is
accepted or feasible. (2) If Fcount < Ftable and sig value > 0.05, this
indicates that the independent variable does not affect the dependent variable,
which means that H1 is rejected or not feasible.

Leadership value
is 0.300 which is the value of PT. Semen Baturaja Tbk in 2020 and the highest
score of 2,418 is the value of PT. Unilever Tbk in 2019; The lowest
Differentiation value of 0.0001 is the value of PT Astra OtoParts Tbk from 2019
and the highest value of 0.065 is the value of PT. Unilever Tbk in 2017; The
lowest Enterprise Risk Management value of 0.194 is owned by the company
PT. Tirta Mahakam Resources Tbk in 2017 and 2018, while the highest value of
0.333 is the value of PT. Indofood CBP Indo Makmur Tbk in 2020; The value of
the company's size based on the amount of the lowest asset is 9.912 million
which is PT. Tirta Mahakam Resources Tbk in 2020, while the highest value of
6.096 billion was PT. Indofood CBP Indo Makmur Tbk in 2020; The lowest leverage
value or Debt to Equity Ratio is -2,130 which is PT Tirta Mahakam
Tbk in 2020 while the highest value of 23,917 is PT Tirta Mahakam Tbk in 2019.
The value of Environmental Performance is measured using the PROPER method (Performance Rating
Program in Environmental Management) with the highest color rating, namely
gold, will be given a score of 5, a score of 4 for a green color, a score of 3
for a blue color, a score of 2 for a red color, a score of 1 for a black rank,
the highest score with 4 points. The score for PROPER with a score of 4 is
owned by several companies including PT Indocement
Tunggal Perkasa Tbk, PT Kalbe Farma
Tbk, PT Industri jamu, and
Pharmacy SD Mncl tbk between 2017 and 2019 while the one with a lowest PROPER
score with a score of 2 is PT Kimia Farma Tbk, PT Martina Berto Tbk, PT Nippon Indosari Corpindo tbk 2017-2020.
Classic
assumption test
The
normality test is done by using a pp plot. In Figure 1 it can be seen that the data is not normal. After testing
outliers and discarding outlier data as much as 20 data, the data is still not
normal. This can be seen, when the observation data is cut off and away from
the diagonal line. Therefore, the researchers carried out data transformation,
so that in the end the data became normal. The graph of the pp plot of
normality results using 77 data can be seen in Figure 2.

1 normality test results (abnormal data)
Figure 2
The results of the normality test after the outlier data
are removed and transformed
The multicollinearity test is seen from
the value of the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). If the VIF value of each
independent variable < 10 then the regression model is free from
multicollinearity. From the test results, the data shows that the VIF value of
the Low Cost Strategy variable is 1.586
< 10; Differentiation Strategy 1,530 < 10; ERM 1,664 < 10; Company
Size 1,562< 10; Leverage 1.175 < 10, which means that the
regression model in this study is free from multicollinearity. Then the
Autocorrelation Test also needs to be carried out in this study because this
study takes data from more than one research period so that autocorrelation
does not occur. Based on the decision-making
criteria for the Durbin-Watson test, namely 2 < dw < +2, there is no
autocorrelation. where the DW value obtained from the regression model is
1,616, the DW value is greater than -2 and less than +2, with n as much as 97
and the independent variable (k) as much as 5, this indicates that there are no
symptoms of positive or negative autocorrelation in the regression model. The
Heteroscedasticity Test is carried out to ensure that there is no
heteroscedasticity
Figure 3

Figure 3 above
shows the pattern of dots spread above and below the number 0. This shows that
the regression model in this study is free from the problem of
heteroscedasticity. Then it can be tested again.
The autocorrelation
Test (adjusted
R2 ) is used to measure the proportion or
percentage of the contribution of the independent variable under study to the
variation in the rise and fall of the dependent variable. When R2 is getting
closer to 1, it shows the stronger influence of the independent
variable on the dependent variable.

Based on table 3 above,
the adjusted R2 figure is 0.120 or 12 % This is Strategy, Enterprise
Risk Management, Company size, and Leverage on the company's
environmental performance is 12% while the remaining 88% is explained by other
independent variables that are not included in this study.
Table 4
Hypothesis Test
Results
The
Influence of Corporate Strategy (Cost Leadership Strategy) on Environmental
Performance
� Based on the hypothesis test from the test
results in table 4 the Cost Leadership Strategy is 0.004.
The test results show that the beta sign does not match the proposed
hypothesis, where the Low-Cost Leadership Strategy hurts Environmental Performance, therefore the
significance test is not continued. The processing results show a sig value of
0.947/2 = 0.4735 > 0.05 (alpha 5%) so the first hypothesis is rejected, and Ho
is accepted so that there is no influence of the Low-Cost Leadership Strategy
on Environmental Performance. So the Low-cost
leadership strategy does not affect the company's ability to improve its
environmental performance. Companies implementing the Cost Leadership Strategy
will find it difficult to have good environmental performance because the
company will pressure management to minimize expenses that are not considered
important and will prevent companies from being more concerned about the
environment. The second thing is that company management tends to behave
opportunistically, driven by self-interest (maximizing wealth) so that to get
maximum profit, companies with a low-cost strategy will only be oriented
towards the company's core activities and still not use the profits generated
from cost savings for environmental costs. Therefore, companies that use this
strategy do not affect their environmental performance. This result is not in
line with the research by (Biswas & Roy, 2015) which states that
the company's strategy, especially the Cost Leadership Strategy, has a
significant effect on environmental performance.
Effect
of Corporate Strategy (Differentiation Strategy) on Environmental Performance
Based on the hypothesis test in table 4,
it is explained that the value of in the table has a positive value of 0.063
and a sig value of 0.674/2 = 0.337 > 0.05 (alpha 5%) then Ho is accepted
this is not following the proposed hypothesis, where the Differentiation
Strategy positive effect on the disclosure of Environmental Performance. So it can be concluded that the Differentiation Strategy does
not affect Environmental Performance so H1b is rejected. The differentiation
strategy will allow the company to use environmentally friendly materials, and environmentally
friendly production processes by recycling or reducing hazardous factory waste,
although this environmentally friendly strategy may increase production costs.
The Differentiation Strategy has not yet affected Environmental Performance,
most likely the differentiation of products or services in Indonesia is still
limited to the differentiation of product features. Differentiation of
environmentally friendly products has not become a priority for companies in
Indonesia because consumers in Indonesia have not fully and not many have
responded to environmentally friendly products. Why this happens because
usually environmentally friendly products will increase the basic price of a
product to be more expensive and uncompetitive in the market for example
electric cars. Or electrical energy using a solar system. The results of this
study are not in line with the research conducted by Gorondutse and Hilman
(2017), namely the differentiation strategy has a positive impact on
Environmental Performance because the company will strive to continue to
innovate its products to become a more environmentally friendly company. It can
be concluded that there is no influence of Differentiation Strategy on
Environmental Performance.
Effect
of ERM on Environmental Performance
Based on the test results in table 4,
the value in the table has a positive value of 1.048 and a sig value of 0.006/2
= 0.003 <0.05 (alpha 5%) then Ho is rejected. The beta sign is by the
proposed hypothesis, where ERM has a positive effect on Environmental
Performance, therefore the significance test is continued. ERM shows that
management has guidelines for carrying out activities by taking into account
the risks that may occur in the future, including the risk of lawsuits due to
ignoring the environment because ignoring the environment will pose a risk to
the company in the future so companies that pay attention to risk consider this
as an issue. the important thing to do immediately. The view from investors
that the implementation of ERM is an absolute thing that must be applied to
companies because many listed companies understand that the implementation of
ERM can help companies make decisions regarding activities that must be carried
out to carry out business activities with measurable risks. superiority due to
a proactive environmental strategy is compelled to inform investors and other
stakeholders about their strategy by voluntarily disclosing more environmental
information. This causes an increase in the company's valuation because
investors will conclude that the exposure and liability for environmental
damage are lower for companies that show good environmental performance.
Compliance with environmental regulations or environmental pollution can also affect
the company's business. The CEO's awareness of the environment is quite good,
it is proven that companies that follow the PROPER ranking get grades with 3
and 4 ratings. The results of this study are in line with research conducted by
(Miao, Hynan, Von Jouanne, & Yokochi, 2019) where
environmental regulations have motivated the market and have a positive effect
on the environment. growth in corporate risk management so that it can be
concluded that ERM has a positive effect on environmental performance.
The
Effect of Firm Size on Environmental Performance
Based on the test results in table 4,
the value in the table has a positive value of -0.066 and a sig value of
0.329/2 = 0.1645 > 0.05 (alpha 5%) then Ho is accepted. So
it can be concluded that company size does not affect environmental performance
so H3 is rejected. It is concluded that there is no effect of company size on
environmental performance. Company size cannot be used as a benchmark that
every large company has good environmental performance and small company size
has not to have very good environmental performance. The results of this study
are not significant because most large companies tend to focus more on
obtaining profit or profit so the company's environmental performance is not
the focus of attention. Another reason is the regulations in Indonesia that do
not force large companies to care about the environment and if there is a
dispute with the surrounding community, the legal case usually wins in favor of
the company that is destroying the environment. The results of this study are
in line with research conducted by (Kurnianingsih, 2014) which explains
that company size does not affect the disclosure of environmental performance.
In addition, (Subiantoro & Mildawati, 2015) also explain that
company size does not affect the disclosure of environmental performance by
companies.
Effect
of Leverage on Environmental Performance
������ Based on
the test results in table 4, it shows the
beta sign following the proposed hypothesis, where Leverage hurts Environmental
Performance, the value in the table has a negative value of -0.075 and a sig
value of 0.010/2=0.005 <0.05 (alpha 5%) then Ho is rejected. So it can be concluded that Leverage hurts Environmental
Performance so H4 is accepted. The results of this study indicate that the high
and low value of the debt ratio which is a proxy for leverage affects the
company's environmental performance. Companies with low debt ratio values tend
to pay attention to environmental conservation with their assets, while
companies with high debt ratio values will prioritize their assets for debt
repayment. This is due to the preservation of the environment such as
processing waste, recycling requires a large and significant cost. If the
company still has high debt, then the company's priority is to pay off its
debts first and use existing resources to improve company performance. This is
in line with research conducted by Giannarakis (2014) which states that
leverage hurts performance. Environment. So it can be
concluded that there is no influence of Leverage on Environmental Performance.
CONCLUSION
The
results of this study indicate that Cost
Leadership Strategy does not affect Environmental Performance. Differentiation Strategy does not affect
Environmental Performance. Enterprise
Risk Management (ERM) has a positive effect on Environmental Performance. Company size does not affect Environmental
Performance. Leverage hurts Environmental Performance.
