SUMMARY

Financial conditions are insufficient to guarantee the firm value to grow and develop in a sustainable method. If the corporation also considers the social and environmental aspects of life, its sustainability will be ensured. This research aims to analyze the effect of environmental social governance (ESG) and dividend policy on firm value with profitability as a moderating variable in 31 companies with 186 annual report data of Indonesian companies listed on Bloomberg in 2015-2020. All data were analyzed using SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square) with SmartPLS 3.0 application. The results proved that ESG has a significant negative effect on firm value. On the contrary, dividend policy gradually improved firm value.
