This study aims to analyze the relationship between green taxation policies and corporate environmental performance from a global perspective using a literature review method. Green taxation is viewed as an economic instrument designed to encourage environmentally friendly behavior through fiscal incentives and disincentives. In this study, various scientific sources such as international journals, global institutional reports, and academic publications were systematically analyzed to identify patterns, trends, and the impact of environmental tax implementation on corporate behavior. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of green taxation generally contributes positively to improving corporate environmental performance, particularly in terms of energy efficiency, emission reduction, and sustainable technological innovation. Thus, this study provides a conceptual contribution to understanding the role of green taxation as a strategic public policy instrument in driving the transformation of business practices toward environmental sustainability at the global level.
