Although many companies have recognized the concepts of environmental innovation, little research attention has been devoted to the consideration of relations between green product innovation and firm performance. This study aimed to investigate the impact of green product innovation on firms’ performance. A structured questionnaire was developed for the purpose of data collection, and 19 Saudi chemical firms were included. The data from each of the returned questionnaire were coded and entered into (SPSS) version 18.0 software, simple linear regression which was used for statistical analysis. Response rate was 89.4%. The results show that that green product innovation has a statistically significant impact on firms’ performance (calculated F was 91.7); with statistically significant at p < 0.00. These results can help companies involved in manufacturing green products to create a new environment and enhance their business performance.

This paper examines the relationship between green product innovation, green process innovation, competitive advantage of product and market performance in the SMEs Ciwaringin batik Cirebon West Java. A survey of 93 SMEs batik provides the basis for the empirical investigation. The relationships between the green innovation product, competitive advantage of product and market performance are examined using stepwise regression.The findings show that green product innovation not contributes positively to competitive advantage of product and market performance. Another findings of this study is that the impact of green process innovation contributes positively to competitive advantage of product but not to market performance in the SMEs Ciwaringin batik. Competitive advantage of product has impact to market performance. This paper also discusses the recomendations of the results.

This study aims to empirically examine the role of green product innovation in mediating the influence of corporate social responsibility on the business performance of the creative industries of batik. The research approach used is quantitative research. The population is the creative industries of spread the r Sidoarjo and Bangkalan regions. The number of Small and Medium Industries of batik crafts in Sidoarjo and Bangkalan is 98 batik creative industries. The sample in this study were 79 creative industries of batik using the Slovin formula, then the determination and distribution of the sample was based on simple random sampling. The analytical method used in the data processing in this study uses SEM-PLS with the help of SmartPLS software. The results showed that: (1) corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences green product innovation (GPI) with a t value of 5.384 and a Pvalue of 0.000; (2) green product innovation  (GPI) influences business performance with a t value of 5.492 and Pvalue of 0.000; (3) green product innovation(GPI) is able to mediate the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) business performance (BP) of creative industries with a t value of 3.771 and a Pvalue of 0.000.

The main aim of this paper is to evaluate if manufacturing firms can boost their performance through green innovations. The literature on this topic shows contradictory findings. We have concentrated on the effect of advanced manufacturing technologies (AMT) on green innovations. To the authors’ best knowledge, this research is the first to examine the impact of a firm’s own AMT on green innovation and the firm’s performance at the same time. Green innovation in our research relates to green product innovation. The data analysis is performed through three-step OLS regression analysis and two evaluation models. One model looks at AMT and how they affect green innovation, and the second model looks at how AMT and green innovations affect performance. Our findings suggest that AMT contribute to both the firm’s performance and green innovation. We found that technology is a moderator for green innovations. While the majority of research emphasizes that firms will not eco-innovate unless they receive subsidies or severe restrictions are imposed, we show that out of all innovations, 66% are green innovations. Restrictions such as having ISO 14000 certification do not contribute to green innovation, but rather the age of the firm does.
