“…In respect of Pakistan's SMEs, green HRM practices have a positive and significant effect on ES. Moreover, CSR mediates the association between green HRM and EP [38]. Ojo et al's findings [39] underline the improvement of environmental IT behaviors through performance management, green training and employees' development and empowerment.…”

This study investigated Environmental Sustainability (ES) and Environmental Performance (EP) through the direct and indirect use of Organizational Environmental Culture (OEC). This study focused on top managers, namely, the CEOs and directors of SMEs, along with their middle managers. In this study, the researchers employed green HRM and Green Innovation (GI) as mediators. We applied a quantitative approach that utilized cross-sectional data collected from Saudi Arabian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). We used a survey questionnaire with a convenience sampling technique and succeeded in obtaining replies from 236 respondents. By using the Structural Equation Model (SEM), this study’s findings demonstrate that OEC has a positive and significant effect on green HRM and GI. This study’s findings support the development of policies that promote ES and EP through green environmental practices. Further, green HRM and GI are significant predictors of ES and EP. This study’s findings also show that green HRM and GI have a mediating effect in developing the associations between OEC and ES and EP. Ultimately, this study’s findings make a significant contribution to the depth of the empirical evidence about SMEs in the context of Saudi Arabia.

“…In the last two decades, green innovation has received tremendous attention due to its ability to deal with environmental issues. Green innovation is defined as the novelty in production and process, which can reduce the environmental impact [39,40]. Green innovation lowers environmental costs and introduces environmentally friendly technologies.…”

“…Good environmental quality is linked with lower CO 2 emissions, while poor environmental quality is associated with higher CO 2 emissions [77][78][79]. Similarly, green innovation is measured in environmental technology patents, and it is observed as a positive and significant element of environmental quality [9,39]. Moreover, FDI, trade openness, GDP, and urbanization are the significant determinants of CO 2 emissions [77,80].…”

One major concern about foreign direct investment (FDI) is the potential negative environmental impact due to increased CO2 emissions. However, there is a possibility that FDI mitigates CO2 emissions through green innovation and creates a cleaner environment. In the existing literature, there is no significant empirical evidence on the linkage among FDI, green innovation and CO2 emissions in the context of BRICS countries. Hence, this study aims to analyze the impact of FDI and green innovation on the environmental quality of BRICS economies for 1990–2014. The study employed Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators for empirical data analysis. The study’s findings depict that foreign direct investment, energy use, and economic growth have a significant and positive impact on the CO2 emissions of BRICS economies. Moreover, green innovation has a significant inverse impact on CO2 emissions. The results show bidirectional causalities between CO2 emissions and green innovation, trade openness and CO2 emissions, energy use and CO2 emissions, and urbanization and CO2 emissions. Additionally, the findings reveal a one-way causality from CO2 emissions to GDP and CO2 emissions to urbanization. This study offers essential policy recommendations for the environmental sustainability of BRICS countries through green innovation.
