Abstract The energy sector plays a crucial role in facilitating the low‐carbon transition. However, absence of appropriate environmental regulation, managerial opportunistic behavior firms can manipulate ethical investor perceptions and hinder real transition process towards clean energy. Using Chinese listed as research setting, this paper examines impact attention on firms' earnings management practices. In both traditional firms, results show significant U‐shaped association between management, with curve for being smoother. This relationship is more pronounced larger size weaker external monitoring. Moreover, mediating analysis shows that internal control quality transmits onto practices sector. Our key findings remain robust to battery robustness tests endogeneity controls. Therefore, given growing sector, study extends existing literature by analyzing nonlinear effect provides practical implications curbing activities guiding making sustainable investments, thereby promoting development.

Thus, study examines complementarity financial development carbon emissions, while accounting for conditional influence good governance under three disaggregated indicators – economic, institutional, political BRICS, MINT, G7 economies. First, reveals that depending on adopted indicator has mixed effects environmental pollution levels. Specifically, triggers highest effect via domestic credit private sector compared foreign direct investments, index reduces pollution. Secondly, economic promotes quality by reducing through regulation. Third, institutional weaker rule laws induces pollution, control corruption antagonizes Furthermore, only voice accountability supports pollution-mitigating governance. On a bloc-to-bloc comparative analysis, effectiveness in all blocs albeit different magnitudes exerts significant desirable impact countries. Lastly, renewable energy trade liberalization negative positive degradation respectively.
