AB  - Inspired by the natural-resource-based view (NRBV) theory, we attempt to shed 
      light on a controversy which has been persistent over the last decade, concerning 
      the relationship between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and corporate 
      financial performance (CFP). Using the 'too-much-of-a-good-thing' (TMGT) concept, 
      which suggests that "too much can be worse than too little," we link mixed 
      results and consider the roles of advanced eco-learning and contingency factors 
      in influencing the CEP-CFP relationship. Based on a sample composed of ISO 14001 
      certified companies in Indonesia, and analyzing the data using consistent Partial 
      Least Squares (PLSc), we found that: the CEP-CFP relationship follows an inverted 
      U-shape; advanced eco-learning is a significant predictor of the CEP-CFP 
      relationship, meaning that organizations able to develop higher eco-learning 
      capability will be better able to identify the ideal boundaries of investment in 
      environmental performance without reducing their financial performance; and that 
      contingency factors such as environmental strategy and firm size have a 
      significant role in influencing the CEP-CFP relationship. The study's 
      limitations, implications for practitioners and a future research agenda are also 
      detailed.
