Abstract

This research studies the impact of supplier companies’ green innovation efforts on customer firms’ environmental innovation initiatives in supply chains. It illustrates through empirical study that the green innovation activities of supplier firms significantly enhance the green innovation activities of customer firms. Furthermore, it confirms that the level of closeness and effectiveness of collaboration between consumer and supplier firms directly influences the degree to which client firms acquire and exchange green innovation capabilities from the supplier firms, leading to a more pronounced translational impact. Additional research has demonstrated that the influence of supplier companies’ efforts to develop environmentally friendly innovations on the environmental innovation activities of client companies is more noticeable when suppliers rely less on their primary customers and customers rely more on their primary suppliers. Green innovation spillovers are more probable when the supply firm is situated in an industry that has lower levels of pollution and fewer restrictions. In conclusion, this study increases comprehension the dynamics underpinning the transfer of green innovation from supplier firms to consumer firms. Furthermore, it offers legislative suggestions for the creation of sustainable supply chains and an economy that is efficient in reducing carbon emissions.
