The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between green entrepreneurial orientation and sustainable firm performance. In order to examine this relationship, a meta-analysis method was used, and analyses were carried out with a Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software (CMA) v4 package program. In the study, a sample of 23 articles, 42 effect sizes, and 6666 enterprises was reached through a systematic literature review. The studies included in the research were accessed by searching the keywords “green entrepreneurial orientation” and “sustainable firm performance” from Web of Science, EBSCO Host, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, and only articles without any year limit were included. Throughout the study, statistical analyses were performed on Fisher z values and conducted under the random effects model. The effect size, heterogeneity, and publication bias analyses of green entrepreneurial orientation and sustainable firm performance and its sub-dimensions were tested separately, and the findings were interpreted by converting them into correlation coefficients. As a result of the analyses, it was found that the relationship between green entrepreneurial orientation and sustainable firm performance is positive and highly significant (p < 0.05). In addition, the relationship between financial, environmental, social, sustainable, entrepreneurial, and green innovation performance, which is the sub-dimensions of sustainable firm performance, and green entrepreneurial orientation, was found to be high and significant (p < 0.05). However, it was concluded that there is no significant relationship between green innovation performance, which is another dimension of sustainable firm performance, and green entrepreneurial orientation. Moderator analyses revealed that sector and continent have a moderating effect on the relationship between green entrepreneurship orientation and sustainable firm performance.

The accelerating global transition toward low-carbon production and sustainable value chains has intensified interest in practices that enhance environmental performance, particularly green supply chain management (GSCM) and green innovation (GI). Although these practices are widely promoted, empirical findings regarding how GSCM influences GI and carbon-neutral supply chain performance (CNSCP) remain dispersed and context-dependent. This study aims to synthesize and clarify these relationships by conducting a systematic meta-analysis grounded in the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV). Analyzing 24 studies published between 2017 and 2025, the research investigates the direct effects of GSCM on GI and CNSCP and examines the moderating roles of key sustainability metrics—CO₂ emissions, renewable energy use, carbon tax, Frontier Technologies Index (FTI), and Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index (GSCI)—across low- and high-income countries. The findings reveal that GSCM significantly enhances both GI and CNSCP. Furthermore, strong sustainability infrastructures and stringent regulatory environments in high-income countries amplify these relationships, whereas infrastructure deficiencies and weaker regulatory systems in low-income countries limit their strength. These results demonstrate that sustainability metrics meaningfully condition the effectiveness of GSCM practices. Overall, this study highlights the strategic importance of GSCM in fostering CNSCP and provides theoretical insights and practical recommendations for policymakers, managers, and governments seeking to achieve long-term carbon neutrality goals.
