Abstract

Background: In the face of escalating climate change concerns, Corporate Environmental Management has transitioned from a voluntary philanthropic activity to a strategic necessity. Green innovation is increasingly viewed as the operational mechanism through which environmental commitments are actualized.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices on Corporate Environmental Performance (CEP), with Green Innovation acting as a mediating variable.

Method: This study uses a simulated dataset created for academic training purposes. Data representing 280 middle-to-senior level supply chain managers was simulated. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied using SmartPLS software.

Key Results: GSCM practices positively and significantly influence Green Innovation (β = 0.62, p < 0.001) and CEP (β = 0.34, p < 0.001). Green Innovation significantly enhances CEP (β = 0.48, p < 0.001) and fully mediates the relationship between GSCM and CEP.

Conclusion: Implementing green supply chain practices alone is insufficient to improve environmental performance unless it explicitly drives green innovation outcomes. Firms must foster an innovative culture to translate environmental compliance into tangible performance gains.
