Environmental issues are of the utmost importance and should not be used as a tool for the purposes of competition. Furthermore, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the environment and prefer products made from sustainable materials. Therefore, adopting environmentally friendly practices is expected to enhance company sales. This study aims to examine the impact of green innovation, adoption of green accounting and environmental management accounting on the performance of manufacturing firms in Indonesia. The research was conducted on manufacturing firms that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period between 2017 and 2021. The structural equation modelling technique was used to test the hypotheses. The results suggest that the implementation of green innovation affects green accounting, environmental management accounting and firm performance, but the implementation of green accounting and environmental management accounting does not affect firm performance. The implications of these findings are examined in the discussion section.
Despite the abundance of researches on innovation and green innovation, there remains a necessity to further research in this field. This is particularly crucial in regions like Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland. This publication is a part of research on business innovation utilizing public funds. The paper aims to pinpoint directions for further empirical research on innovation within enterprises funded publicly. Empirical research was conducted using a database of 95 projects, all of which were included in the lists of projects selected for funding under the Opolskie Voivodeship Regional Operational Programme 2014-2020 (Enterprise investments in innovation). The vast majority of projects involve products/services/technologies that are innovative not only regionally and nationally, but also globally. The innovation of the solutions applied was assessed as high. On the other hand, the green innovation of applied solutions was assessed as average. This opens up an interesting field of research into the barriers to green innovation. The data shows that none of the projects implemented by SMEs was implemented as a partnership (SME Cooperation). In the case of large enterprises, 76% of projects were implemented in cooperation with SMEs and/or NGOs and/or research institutions. Interesting line of research could be the evaluation of the barriers for cooperation between SMEs when implementing a green innovation project.

Enhancing the low-carbon effect of green finance development (GFD) is an effective way for China to accelerate the comprehensive deepening of supply side structural reform, better realise the high-quality development of green economy and better protect the environment. Therefore, based on the green technology innovation theory and endogenous growth theory, from the four dimensions of green innovation (GI) in the GLOBIO model, the unbalanced panel data of 8976 manufacturing listed companies from 2009 to 2021 were used. This paper deeply explores the low-carbon effect of GI on the development of green finance (GF) in China’s manufacturing industry. The results show that: on the whole, GI based on environmental protection has a significant incentive effect on the low-carbon effect of GFD. Compared with green material innovation and green process innovation, green product design innovation and green equipment innovation have more incentive effect. Further analysis shows that green product design innovation and green equipment innovation can produce incremental effect on the low-carbon effect of green financial development through green material innovation. The conclusion not only provides empirical support for green technology innovation theory and endogenous growth theory, but also provides effective evidence for the path of GF to achieve low-carbon development.
It is an important goal of China’s 2025 Strategy to build an environmental governance system with the government as the leading role, enterprises as the main body, and social organizations and the public all participate actively. In this context, whether and how small and micro enterprises, as a force of rejuvenating the country through science and technology, participate in the construction of environmental governance system is discussed in this paper. This study uses the 12th China small and micro enterprise survey database to deeply analyze the direct and indirect effects between green innovation and small and micro enterprise performance, and finds that: in the direct effect analysis, the direct promotion effect of green innovation on the financial performance of small and micro enterprises is related to the development stage of small and micro enterprises, which is significant in the initial stage and mature stage, but not significant in the growth stage; in the indirect effect analysis, green innovation can indirectly improve the overall performance of small and micro enterprises by improving their environmental and social responsibility performance. At the same time, green innovation can amplify the role of other factors in promoting the overall performance. This study not only enriches the research scope of green innovation theory from the subdivision dimension, provides a new perspective for the integration of green innovation and social responsibility theory, it also provides theoretical reference and guidance for the green innovation practice of small and micro enterprises.
