A quantitative design was applied in this research, withpanel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) as the analytical techniques,supported by a series of classical assumption tests to assess the suitability of the regressionmodel. The sample comprised 40 manufacturing companies in the industrials subsectorselected through purposive sampling, resulting in 200 firm year observations. The studyutilized secondary data obtained primarily from companies’ annual reports and analyzedusing EViews 13. The findings indicate that profitability has a negative and statisticallysignificant effect on firm value.

Furthermore, ESGdisclosure significantly moderates the relationship between profitability and firm value.However, its moderating effect on the relationship between total asset turnover and firm valueis not statistically significant
