Environmental concerns have steadily caught attention as economic growth has developed more rapidly. Eco-innovation, foreign investment, and carbon emissions have lately climbed to the top of research topics since they influence environmental quality. Nevertheless, there is scarce knowledge about the spatial perspective and the impact of the combined mechanisms of eco-innovation, FDI, and carbon emissions in developing nations. This paper uses the geographic Durbin model to examine the combined effect of eco-innovation, carbon emission, and FDI effects on GDP in nine MENA countries from 2000 to 2019. The study results are as follows: (i) Eco-innovation, FDI, and carbon emissions positively and directly impact GDP, (ii) carbon emissions are the most critical driver that impacts economic growth, and (iii) the balanced combination of driving factors of economic growth positively and directly impacts GDP. Therefore, this balanced combination effect impacts economic growth, improves environmental quality, and embarks on a sustainable transition path.

“…Zhou (2023) argues that the greater the regulatory and environmental normative pressures, the greater the propensity of firms to engage in environmental innovation. Ben Amara and Chen (2022) develop a structural equation model to examine the drivers of eco‐innovation adoption, showing that environmental regulation is the most influential factor in motivating entrepreneurs to adopt such innovations to offset the cost of compliance, reduce pollution, and operate efficiently. Specifically, firms implement environmental practices to avoid penalties and fines for non‐compliance with regulations (Chang, 2011).…”

This paper investigates the linkages between pressure from stakeholders, eco‐innovation and environmental performance considering the moderating role of being a cooperative. Using survey data from 239 Spanish companies we developed a model of structural equations to verify the relationship between the variables. We show that the implementation of eco‐innovations, driven by pressure from internal stakeholders, leads to better environmental performance. In addition, our results strengthen previous empirical evidence about the compromise of cooperatives with the community, workers, and the environment: they are influenced by both internal and external stakeholders in the implementation of eco‐innovations, while limited liability companies are influenced only by internal stakeholders.

“…, 2022). According to Ben Amara and Chen (2022), there is a strong association between the firm's sustainable business growth and its eco-innovation strategy. The positive association between the firm's driving factors and sustainable business growth is due to the mediation effect of its eco-innovation strategy.…”

PurposeThis study investigates economic sustainability through orientation and absorptive capacity.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers developed a conceptual framework based on vigorous literature for this investigation. This study targeted managers from Pakistan's SME sector as respondents and employed cross-sectional data. In total, the authors based this study's findings on 192 valid cases.FindingsThe structural equation modeling (SEM) results highlight that innovation orientation (IO), customer orientation (CO), supplier orientation (SO), network orientation (NO) and absorptive capacity (AC) have significant effects on economic sustainability (ES). Moreover, this study's findings show that ES significantly predicts environmental sustainability (ENS). Finally, the results also demonstrate that ES and ENS positively and substantially affect financial performance (FP).Practical implicationsThis study's findings help SMEs continue sustainable business practices by avoiding adverse environmental effects and ongoing climate changes. This study's findings contribute also to the manufacture of eco-friendly environmental products to reduce the contamination of the environment. Financial institutions and policymakers would boost SME owners' capacity and the obtainability of financial resources to improve Pakistani SMEs’ sustainable economic and environmental performance.Originality/valueThis study's findings help to enrich environmental and economic sustainability and, more significantly, for developing countries.
