Synergy of Green Innovation, Waste Management Policy, and Green Competitive Advantages: A Catalyst for Enhancing SMEs’ Enviropreneurship Performance in Achieving Sustainable Development

  ABSTRACT. This research examines the impact of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), Green Innovation (GI), Green Competitive Advantage (GCA), and Waste Management Policy (WMPP) on the Enviropreneurship Performance (EP) of SMEs in Indonesia. Using the Resource-Based View (RBV) approach, this study develops a model that interconnects these variables. Data analysis from 333 respondents using AMOS 25 revealed significant positive relationships among all studied variables. GSCM was found to enhance both waste management policies and green innovation, which is particularly crucial given Kalimantan Indonesia’s environmental challenges. Green competitive advantage serves as a mediator between GSCM and enviropreneurship performance. The findings indicate varying implementations of green practices across Kalimantan’s provinces, reflecting the different characteristics of dominant industries in each region. This study makes theoretical contributions by expanding the understanding of enviropreneurship performance in the context of developing economies. Practical implications include recommendations for integrating GSCM, green innovation, and waste management to enhance the enviropreneurship performance of SMEs in Kalimantan. The research emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in managing environmental aspects of business to achieve sustainable economic development in the region.
