<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value, with financial constraints serving as a mediating variable, in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. The motivation for this research arises from the increasing attention of investors and stakeholders toward corporate sustainability practices and their potential implications for firm performance and value. This study adopts a quantitative approach using panel data obtained from the annual reports and sustainability reports of 78 sampled companies. Panel data regression is employed to analyze the relationships among variables, while the Sobel test is applied to assess the mediating role of financial constraints. The results indicate that ESG disclosure does not have a significant effect on firm value or financial constraints. These findings suggest that ESG practices and disclosures in Indonesia have not yet been fully perceived by the market as value-enhancing factors. Furthermore, financial constraints are found to have a significant negative effect on firm value, indicating that firms experiencing higher financial constraints tend to exhibit lower market value. However, financial constraints do not mediate the relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value. This study contributes to the existing literature on ESG by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers practical insights for corporate managers and investors in formulating sustainability strategies and investment decisions.]]>
