摘要：Recently, eco-innovation has received a lot of attention in the academic and corporateworld due to its potential to accelerate firm financial progression. To measure eco-innovation, mostlyprimary data and a reactive approach were employed. By emphasising the proactive approach andutilising a secondary panel dataset, this study fills the existing research gap. Data presented in thispaper comprise 31 energy firms from Bursa Malaysia for the years between 2015 and 2019. Paneldata associated with eco-innovation proactiveness and firm financial progression were collectedfrom three different sources such as company websites, annual reports, and sustainability reportsusing content analysis. For data collection, an index was adapted comprising five dimensions ofeco-innovation, named as product, process, technology, organizational, and marketing. In additionto that, Tobin’s Q was considered as a proxy dimension for firm financial progression because itconsiders both market value as well as book value. Following a unit root test, six specific datadiagnostic tests were performed to ensure data reliability and validity for future potential usage. Theresults reveal that the panel dataset was organised and is eligible for further statistical model analysis.Dataset: https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/335vpkktm3/1.Dataset License: CC BY 4.0.
