**4. Conclusion**

Our study examines the role of corporate environmental responsibilities and corporate lobbying in the event of corporate misconduct.

In recent years, environmental protection has received increasing attention in both economic research and practical management fields. Going beyond, business activities and taking care of the environment can bring firms benefits. Now companies have realized that business activity in an environmentally responsible way is not only a legal duty but also a responsibility.

Over the past few years, shareholders increasingly require companies to become more environmentally aware and responsible. Hence, companies are now using different policies to manage their environmental exposures and enhance their value. The main objective of this study is to extend the recent research on CSR and corporate lobbying. In this chapter, we attempt to investigate whether a firm's corporate social responsibility and corporate lobbying efforts enhance a firm's performance in the events of environmental misconduct. On the one hand, we study the impact of corporate misconduct on firm value. Then, we shed light on the engagement of companies in corporate social responsibility to overcome the losses caused by their irresponsibility. On the other hand, we investigate the relationship between corporate lobbying and firm performance.
