“…The common objective of many firms is to gain a significant competitive edge (Abderzag, 2021;Hussaien et al, 2021, Vafaei et al, 2019. Organizations place a strong emphasis on the development of competitive activities in order to gain a competitive edge, which may result in improved firm Performance (Hermundsdottir & Aspelund, 2021;Wu et al, 2022). The resourcebased perspective highlights the importance of the firm's distinctive resources and capabilities as major factors in competitive advantage and business success.…”

Goal: This study explores the connection between green innovation components and the competitive advantage of the manufacturing sector in China through the mediating role of green organizational culture and the moderating role of access to finance. Methodology: A self-administered survey with 310 respondents was used to collect data from the industrial sector. Data were examined using SmartPLS, and a bootstrapping method was used. Results: The findings demonstrated that the suggested moderated mediation model was accepted because the associations between the constructs were statistically significant. The mediating effect of green organizational culture and the moderating effect of access to finance were performed. The results showed that the proposed moderated mediation model was accepted because the relationships between the constructs were statistically significant. The results of the data analysis supported a positive relationship between green innovation and competitive advantage as well as a mediating effect of green organizational culture. Limitations: The study is limited to the Chinese economy; hence future studies can replicate these results on developing and developed economies. Furthermore, large sample size, different industrial sector and more advance analysis techniques can also be used in future studies. Practical Implications: The study has practical implication of green innovation and green organizational culture in enhancing competitive advantage in the Chinese manufacturing sector, considering access to finance. Originality / Value: This study contributes to the current vain of literature by examining the noval connection between competitive advantage and green innovation components of manufacturing sector in China through the mediating role of green organizational culture and the moderating role of access to finance.

“…Based on this premise, firms' green initiatives could attract attention to companies (Horbach et al, 2022), thereby contributing to creating and consolidating a robust, sustainable, long‐term firm reputation. Revisiting the resource‐based view in the context of Covid‐19 indicates that green initiatives could be a catalyst for a competitive advantage to the extent that it differentiates the firm from others (Galbreath, 2017; Wu et al, 2022). Likewise, corporate reputation contributes to trust relationships linking firms and their stakeholders, which is crucial for firms' functioning (and survival), especially in times of crisis.…”

The Covid‐19 pandemic has caused a significant decline in stock markets worldwide, and organizations are experiencing serious financial problems. Protecting and preserving firm value are critical ways to help organizations survive the crisis. This study analyzes a sample of 45 firms listed on the Polish Stock Market in two periods to determine the relationship among green initiatives, the triple bottom line (TBL) perspective, and firm value in the periods before and during the crisis caused by the Covid‐19 pandemic. The results show that firms with higher green initiatives are more likely to obtain better TBL performance during the normal period. Economic and social dimensions of TBL positively influence firm value regardless of the period, but the same is not true of the ecological dimension. The Covid‐19 pandemic's negative impact on investors' perception does not translate to firm value. This study provides the first empirical evidence on the value of organizations affected by the Covid‐19 pandemic in the context of environmental management. By considering the TBL approach, this study provides a new boundary condition that explains the impact mechanism of green initiatives during a crisis.

Numerous studies have indicated that incorporating an environmental ethic (EE), green innovation (GI), and environmental policy (EnP) can enhance a company's sustainable performance, that is, environmental performance (EP) and economic performance (EcP) in the manufacturing industry. However, to encourage eco‐friendly production and processes, it is crucial to promote sustainable practices across different industries. Nevertheless, some researchers have overlooked the significance of these implementations. Integrating these practices into the manufacturing sector can be challenging. To address this issue, this study has developed an empirical model that assesses two pillars of sustainable performance in the Jordanian manufacturing industry. The study analyzes the direct correlation between a firm's EE, GI, and sustainable performance. It also examines whether GI plays a mediating role in the relationship between company EE and sustainable performance and if EnP moderates the relationship between GI and sustainable performance. The study collected data from 386 respondents belonging to various manufacturing industries in Jordan and analyzed it using SmartPLS. The research revealed that a manufacturing firm's EE is significantly boosted by GI, EP, and EcP. These findings suggest that companies with higher EE are more likely to innovate sustainably and perform better in terms of sustainability. In particular, the study found that GI plays a mediating role between a firm's EE and its sustainable performance. Furthermore, the impact of EnP on the relationship between GI and EP was mixed, showing a moderating effect on the former but not on EcP. The study provides valuable insights into the implementation of green practices in the manufacturing sector and discusses policy implications for manufacturers.
