탄소성적표지 인증제품이 경제적 부가가치에 미치는 영향

[Purpose] Carbon emissions, which have recently been the main cause of climate change, have emerged as an important issue globally. In this context, This study focused on examining the relationship between the number of carbon footprint(FOOT) and low－carbon products(GOOD) certified from the government and the economic value added (EVA). [Methodology] The samples with certifying products low carbon labelling are 31 firms that have certified carbon footprint and low carbon products certified by the carbon labeling system in 2017 among the listed companies of Korea Exchange in 2018, and matching samples consist of 76 firms with similar size in the same industry. This study tested the hypothesis with correlation analysis, two－sample independent t－test, and multiple linear regression analysis. [Findings] As a result of the analysis of the univariate, the EVA and the number of carbon footprints and low carbon certification products show a significant positive correlation, and EVA is significantly high in the carbon labeling group. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the more the carbon footprint and the number of certified low－carbon products increased, the greater the EVA. [Implications] This study can contribute to showing to managerial executives that carbon emissions can have a negative impact on economic value added by potentially imposing additional capital costs.
