Perception of Green Finance Benefits: The perception of green finance benefits is
                  a crucial driver for its adoption. Companies that recognize the positive impacts of green

                  finance on their operations and the environment are more likely to implement these
                  practices. This finding underscores the importance of raising awareness and educating
                  companies about the tangible benefits of green finance.
                        Transition strategies: Current transition strategies appear to act as barriers rather
                  than facilitators. The negative coefficient associated with transition strategies suggests
                  that  companies  find  these  frameworks  cumbersome  and  misaligned  with  their
                  operational realities. Simplifying and aligning these strategies with the practical needs
                  of companies could significantly enhance green finance adoption.

                        Operation time: Companies with longer operational histories are more inclined to
                  adopt green finance practices. This relationship highlights the role of experience and
                  stability  in  facilitating  the  integration  of  sustainable  financial  practices.  Established
                  processes, financial stability, and accumulated knowledge contribute to this trend.
                        Non-significant  variables:  Several  variables,  including  legal  frameworks,
                  subsidies, incentives, taxes, and company size, were found to be non-significant in this

                  model. This suggests that other factors may be more influential in driving green finance
                  adoption among construction companies.
                        Recommendations:
                        Enhancing  awareness  and  education:  Policymakers  and  industry  associations
                  should  launch  information  campaigns  to  educate  construction  companies  about  the
                  benefits of green finance. These campaigns should include case studies, success stories,
                  and data showcasing the positive impacts of green finance on company performance and

                  environmental sustainability. Organizing workshops and training sessions to provide
                  practical  knowledge  on  implementing  green  finance  practices  can  further  enhance
                  understanding. Additionally, partnerships with universities and research institutions to
                  develop educational programs focused on green finance and sustainable construction
                  will help build a knowledgeable workforce equipped to drive green finance initiatives.
                        Revising transition strategies:  Engaging with construction companies, industry

                  experts, and other stakeholders to gather insights on the challenges faced during the
                  transition  to  green  finance  is  crucial.  This  feedback  can  be  used  to  revise  existing
                  strategies and frameworks. Developing simplified and practical guidelines that are easy
                  for companies to understand and implement, and introducing incentives for companies
                  that successfully implement green finance practices, will encourage compliance and
                  adoption.
                        Leveraging  experience:  Establishing  mentorship  programs  where  experienced
                  companies can guide and support newer firms in adopting green finance practices will

                  facilitate knowledge transfer and help newer companies integrate sustainable practices
                  more effectively. Creating online platforms or forums where companies can share best
                  practices, discuss challenges, and collaborate on green finance initiatives will foster a
                  community of practice around green finance.
