| dc.description.abstract | In a time when companies face increasing societal pressure to reduce carbon emissions, it is important for managers to understand under which conditions carbon reduction leads to higher financial performance. This thesis examined whether environmental awareness, environmental training, and environmental supply chain management affect firm performance through reducing carbon intensity. A panel dataset containing data from 305 companies from 17 countries over a period of 11 years was used. The hypotheses were tested using a mediating effects model. The results show a significant negative relationship between carbon intensity and firm performance. However, the results for the mediating effect are mostly insignificant. This indicates that environmental awareness, environmental training, and environmental supply chain management do not increase firm performance through reducing carbon intensity.
