Our findings reveal that firms engaged in CRI exhibit higher innovation output and enhanced firm value. Further findings reveal that carbon-intensive firms realise greater valuation benefits, whereas non-carbon-intensive firms exhibit stronger innovation-driven gains. These results remain robust to several further analysis and endogeneity tests. Our study contributes to the literature on corporate sustainability by highlighting the financial and technological implications of CRI.
