The sampling technique is a purposive sampling technique based on certain criteria so that a sample of 182 data is obtained. The type of data used is secondary data and the analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis with the Sobel Test test tool. The results of the study show that environmental costs and firm value affect profitability, while environmental costs and profitability have no affect on green accounting but firm value affects green accounting.
