Abstract
Increasing attention to issues such as energy consumption, waste reduction, and resource efficiency has made the importance of sustainable performance more visible. The current research was conducted to investigate the impact of green technology innovation (GTI) and supply chain learning (SCL) on sustainability performance (SP). The study's statistical population consisted of managers of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Mobarakeh industrial town in Iran. The sampling method was a simple random method and 130 companies were determined by G*Power software to determine the sample size. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed using content validity and construct validity and their reliability was obtained by Cronbach’s alpha. The data was analyzed by structural equation modelling in SMART_PLS software. The research findings showed that GTI and SCL directly and significantly affect SP. According to the obtained results, GTI and SCL can be effective in improving SP in SMEs.
