“…Although the sign of the association between climate performance and FP is unclear from past empirical evidence (Busch & Lewandowski, 2018; Velte et al, 2020), several studies contrast a positive impact of climate performance on both market‐based (Iwata & Okada, 2011; Lee et al, 2015) and accounting‐based (Gallego‐Álvarez et al, 2015; Ganda & Milondzo, 2018; Perez‐Calderon et al, 2021). Companies with the best climate performance would not only benefit from the tangible and intangible advantages mentioned above (Albitar et al, 2023; Bui et al, 2020; Gull et al, 2022; He et al, 2023) but would also be rewarded by the financial market (Haque & Ntim, 2020; Vásquez‐Ordóñez et al, 2023). Accordingly, climate performance could strengthen the impact of climate governance on FP, so that it would be stronger in companies with better climate performance.…”
