In this study, we tackle the complex link between environmental efforts and financial success in the Gulf Cooperation Council's (GCC) key hydrocarbon industry. We used a dynamic panel GMM approach to control for endogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, analyzing how the ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ (๐๐๐), ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (๐๐), and ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ impact profitability (๐๐๐ & ๐๐๐).

- ๐๐ก๐จ๐ซ๐ญ-๐๐๐ซ๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ: We found a subtle, short-term ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ connection between environmental performance (EPS) and profitability, likely due to high initial investment or compliance costs.
- ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ฑ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: Energy consumption paradoxically correlates ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ with profitability, reflecting the sector's high production focus and regional energy subsidies.
This research offers crucial new empirical data for hydrocarbon-based economies navigating the green transition.
