Evidence from empirical research suggests that several variables influence the relationship between CSRD and firm financial performance such as ROA, ROE, EPS, Tobin's Q, market return, price-earnings ratio and market value added (Lee and Isa, 2020;McWilliams and Siegel, 2010;Platonova et al, 2018;Razali et al, 2018;Waddock and Graves, 1997;Yusoff and Adamu, 2016).
