English term or phrase: environmental munificence
We controlled for environmental munificence and dynamism to capture

value for the regression of time against the value of shipments for a firm’s industry for the preceding
five years.

Explanation:
There really is no other way to put it.
You have not said what your question is. If it is a definition, it would be best to familiarise yourself with the subject thoroughly. This can be easily achieved by doing a web search on this term, and discover what, for example, a "munificence construct" is.
