Abstract

Abstract This study investigates the relationships among Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD), Enterprise Risk Management Performance (ERMP), and Green Innovation (GI) in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. Using data from 97 companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange, we employed structural equation modeling to examine these complex dynamics. Our findings reveal that CSD negatively impacts both ERMP and enterprise sustainable performance in the short term, challenging conventional wisdom. However, CSD strongly promotes GI, which in turn positively influences ERMP while negatively affecting short-term performance. GI acts as a significant mediator, positively mediating the CSD-ERMP relationship and negatively mediating the CSD-performance link. These results extend the sustainability paradox concept to emerging economies and highlight the critical role of green innovation in balancing sustainability initiatives with risk management and performance outcomes. The study suggests that firms may experience initial disruptions when implementing sustainability practices, but these initiatives can drive innovation within organizations. Based on these findings, we recommend that managers in emerging economies adopt a long-term perspective when implementing sustainability initiatives and develop more flexible risk management systems. Policymakers should consider supportive frameworks to help firms navigate the tensions between sustainability, innovation, and short-term performance. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to capture the dynamic nature of these relationships and explore potential moderating factors such as firm size or industry-specific characteristics.

Introduction In recent years, corporate sustainability has emerged as a critical focus for businesses worldwide, driven by increasing environmental concerns, stakeholder pressures, and regulatory requirements. This paradigm shift has brought Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to the forefront of organizational strategies, particularly in developing economies striving to balance industrial growth with environmental stewardship (Goyal et al., 2021 ; Mani & Wheeler, 1998 ). Corporate Sustainability Development refers to the integration of economic, environmental, and social considerations into business operations and decision-making processes (Hörisch et al., 2020 ; Schaltegger et al., 2016 ). It encompasses a wide range of initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact, enhancing social responsibility, and ensuring long-term economic viability. Recent studies have reinforced the importance of integrating CSD into business practices. For instance, Eccles et al. ( 2014 ) found that companies with strong sustainability practices demonstrate better operational performance and are more resilient during crises. Additionally, a meta-analysis by Friede et al. ( 2015 ) revealed a positive correlation between corporate financial performance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, underscoring the business case for sustainability. These findings are further supported by recent research from (García-Sánchez et al., 2019 ), who demonstrated that sustainability practices contribute to improved financial performance and reduced risk in firms across various industries. Enterprise Risk Management, on the other hand, is a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to an organization's objectives and operations (Bohnert et al., 2019 ; Bromiley et al., 2015 ). The integration of CSD into ERM has gained traction as organizations recognize the interconnectedness of sustainability issues and business risks. A study by Flammer and Kacperczyk ( 2019 ) found that companies integrating sustainability into their core strategies experience lower stock price crash risk, suggesting enhanced risk management capabilities. Similarly, Shahzad, Qu, Javed, et al. ( 2020 ) demonstrated that firms with robust sustainability practices are better equipped to manage environmental and social risks, leading to improved financial performance. These findings are corroborated by recent work from Amel-Zadeh and Serafeim ( 2018 ), who found that integrating ESG factors into investment decisions can lead to superior risk-adjusted returns. In the context of developing economies, the manufacturing sector plays a crucial role in economic growth but also faces significant sustainability challenges (Awan et al., 2021 ). Jordan, as a case in point, has seen its manufacturing sector grappling with the dual imperatives of industrial expansion and environmental protection (Alastal et al., 2024 ). This context provides a fertile ground for examining the intricate relationships between CSD, ERM, and emerging concepts such as green innovation. Green innovation, defined as the development and implementation of new products, processes, or services that contribute to environmental protection and sustainable resource use (Tariq et al., 2017 ; Ukko et al., 2019 ), has emerged as a potential bridge between sustainability goals and risk management strategies. Zhang et al. ( 2019 ) found that green innovation positively mediates the relationship between environmental regulations and firm performance, suggesting its potential role in linking sustainability practices with risk management and business outcomes. This finding is supported by recent research from Nadeem et al. ( 2020 ), who demonstrated that green innovation practices contribute to improved environmental performance and competitive advantage in manufacturing firms. This study aims to examine the association between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management, with a particular focus on the mediating role of Green Innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. By investigating this relationship, we seek to contribute to the growing body of literature on sustainable business practices and provide practical insights for managers in developing economies. The significance of this study lies in its potential to bridge a critical gap in our understanding of how CSD, ERM, and Green Innovation interact in the context of developing economies, particularly within the manufacturing sector. This research addresses a pressing need identified by scholars and practitioners alike for more nuanced insights into sustainability practices in diverse economic settings (Hussain et al., 2018 )u. The manufacturing sector in developing countries like Jordan plays a crucial role in economic growth but also faces significant sustainability challenges (Al-Ghwayeen & Abdallah, 2018 ). By examining the interplay between CSD, ERM, and green innovation in this context, our study contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical application of sustainable business strategies. This is particularly important as developing economies grapple with the dual challenges of industrial growth and environmental protection (Mani & Wheeler, 1998 ). Moreover, while previous research has explored CSD and ERM separately, few studies have examined their integration, especially with green innovation as a potential mediator (Saunila et al., 2021 ; Zhang et al., 2019 ). Our study addresses this research gap, offering insights that could inform more effective sustainability strategies and risk management practices. This is crucial in an era where stakeholders increasingly demand that businesses address environmental and social issues while maintaining economic viability (Eccles & Klimenko, 2019 ; García-Sánchez et al., 2019 ). Furthermore, by focusing on the Jordanian manufacturing sector, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers and business leaders in similar developing economies. As these countries seek to balance economic growth with sustainable practices, understanding the dynamics between sustainability, risk management, and innovation becomes paramount (Awan et al., 2021 ; Nadeem et al., 2020 ). Our findings could inform more effective policies and business strategies that promote sustainable industrial development while mitigating associated risks. Theoretically, this study is grounded in Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, 2010 ),which posits that businesses should create value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Recent extensions of this theory by Jones et al. ( 2018 ) to include environmental stakeholders provide a robust framework for understanding how CSD initiatives can address diverse stakeholder expectations while simultaneously mitigating risks through ERM practices. This theoretical lens allows us to explore how green innovation can serve as a mechanism for aligning stakeholder interests with organizational objectives in the context of sustainability and risk management (Tu & Wu, 2021 ). In conclusion, this study aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on sustainable business practices in developing economies, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities. By examining the relationships between CSD, ERM, and green innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector, we seek to provide valuable insights for both academic research and practical application in similar economic contexts. 2. Hypotheses Development The development of research hypotheses is a crucial step in empirical studies, providing a foundation for investigating the complex relationships between corporate sustainability, risk management, and innovation. This section presents the main study hypotheses that explore the interconnections between Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), and Green Innovation in the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector. By examining these relationships, we aim to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable business practices and their impact on organizational performance and risk mitigation strategies in developing economies. Following are the main study hypotheses development: 2.1 Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations face a complex array of risks that necessitate an integrated approach to risk management (Agrawal, 2016 ). Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has become crucial for organizational resilience, particularly as public expectations for corporate responsibility and sustainability have intensified (Saardchom, 2013 ; Tewu et al., 2024 ). The convergence of risk management and sustainability concerns has given rise to Sustainability Risk Management (SRM), which integrates sustainability agendas into corporate strategy (Wijethilake & Lama, 2019 ). This approach not only influences financial performance but also contributes to long-term viability and competitive advantage (Eccles et al., 2014 ). ERM plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable development by facilitating the identification, measurement, and management of sustainability-related risks (Shad et al., 2019 ; Shah et al., 2024 ). The implementation of an integrated ERM framework provides an essential foundation for ensuring corporate commitments to ethical sustainability practices (Saardchom, 2013 ; Wyma, 2019 ). Recent research has highlighted the positive relationship between ERM implementation and firm performance, particularly in enhancing sustainability outcomes (Florio & Leoni, 2017 ; Syrová & Špička, 2023 ). Companies with robust ERM systems are better positioned to identify and capitalize on sustainability-related opportunities, leading to improved financial performance and stakeholder satisfaction (Alawattegama, 2018 ; Hoyt & Liebenberg, 2011 ). In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where sustainability challenges intersect with economic development goals, the relationship between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management Performance becomes particularly salient. The manufacturing industry in Jordan faces unique challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities, making it an ideal setting to explore the interplay between sustainability initiatives and risk management practices (Hussain et al., 2018 ). Given the growing importance of integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and the critical role of ERM in managing organizational risks, it is crucial to examine how these two areas interact, particularly in emerging economies like Jordan. This leads to the formulation of our research hypothesis: H0: Corporate Sustainability Development significantly influences Enterprise Risk Management Performance in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. 2.2 Corporate Sustainability Development and Green Innovation Sustainability performance is a crucial metric for organizations, reflecting their ability to meet current stakeholder needs without compromising future generations (Dyllick & Hockerts, 2002 ). This concept has become increasingly intertwined with green innovation, which encompasses solutions at any stage of a product or service lifecycle that significantly improve resource efficiency while reducing environmental impact (Reid & Miedzinski, 2008 ; Tariq et al., 2023 ). Green innovation extends beyond mere environmental protection, encompassing all innovations that contribute to creating new processes, products, or services that minimize ecological damage, prevent degradation, and optimize natural resource utilization (Anas et al., 2023 ; Leal-Millán et al., 2017 ).This holistic approach has gained prominence as businesses recognize the strategic importance of sustainability in maintaining competitive advantage and long-term viability. While previous research on green innovation drivers has predominantly focused on external factors such as stakeholder pressure, environmental regulations, and market demand, there is a growing recognition of the significance of internal factors (Cao & Chen, 2019 ; Singh et al., 2022 ). These internal drivers, including environmental ethics, organizational culture, and environmental orientation, play a crucial role in shaping an enterprise's commitment to green innovation. In the process of green management, an organization's internal stakeholders increase the allocation of resources towards green products, processes, and services. This shift not only coordinates heterogeneous resources but also strengthens environmental willingness, facilitating the integration of organizational resources and reducing the environmental impact of processes and outputs (Chen et al., 2014 ; Daily & Huang, 2001 ). Recent studies have highlighted the symbiotic relationship between corporate sustainability development and green innovation. For instance, Dangelico et al. ( 2017 ) found that companies with robust sustainability practices are more likely to engage in and benefit from green innovation initiatives. Similarly, (Negi et al., 2019 ) demonstrated that sustainability-oriented organizational cultures foster environments conducive to green innovation, leading to improved environmental and financial performance. In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility is increasingly critical, the relationship between corporate sustainability development and green innovation becomes particularly relevant (Al-Ghwayeen & Abdallah, 2018 ). This sector faces unique challenges and opportunities in implementing sustainable practices and driving green innovation, making it an ideal setting to explore this relationship. Given the growing importance of integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and the potential of green innovation to drive both environmental and economic benefits, it is crucial to examine how these two areas interact, particularly in emerging economies like Jordan. This leads to the formulation of our research hypothesis: H1: Corporate Sustainability Development significantly influences Green Innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. 2.3 Green Innovation and Enterprise Risk Management In recent years, innovation has garnered significant attention from researchers and business leaders alike, with green innovation emerging as a crucial strategic tool for resource sustainability and environmental stewardship (Elzek et al., 2021 ; Shahzad et al., 2021 ). Concurrently, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has gained prominence as a response to rapid globalization and increased regulatory pressure on organizations to manage risk holistically (Florio & Leoni, 2017 ; Shad et al., 2019 ). The importance of ERM has dramatically increased due to a series of corporate fraud cases, financial scandals, growing risk complexity, and heightened scrutiny from regulatory bodies (Keith, 2014 ). ERM is designed to minimize direct and indirect costs associated with financial distress, earnings volatility, and negative shocks in financial markets. Moreover, it aims to enhance the decision-making process, enabling firms to select optimal investment opportunities and effectively manage various types of operational and non-operational risks (Yang et al., 2018 ). The intersection of green innovation and ERM is particularly relevant in today's business landscape. As organizations strive to innovate sustainably, they must also navigate the associated risks and opportunities. Green innovation can potentially mitigate certain risks by improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental impacts, but it may also introduce new risks related to technology adoption and market acceptance (Zhu et al., 2023 ). Recent studies have highlighted the potential synergies between green innovation and effective risk management. For instance, Aftab et al. ( 2023 ) found that firms engaging in green innovation practices tend to have more robust risk management systems, as the process of developing eco-friendly solutions often involves comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Similarly, Mukhtar et al. ( 2023 ) demonstrated that companies with strong ERM practices are more likely to successfully implement and benefit from green innovations. However, it's crucial to note that unsustainable behaviors can generate potential business risks, damaging an organization's reputation and potentially leading to its downfall (Zhou & Jin, 2023 ). This underscores the importance of aligning green innovation initiatives with comprehensive risk management strategies to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience. In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility is increasingly critical, the relationship between green innovation and enterprise risk management becomes particularly salient (Abdallah & Al-Ghwayeen, 2020 ; Jum’a et al., 2021 ).This sector faces unique challenges and opportunities in implementing green innovations while effectively managing associated risks, making it an ideal setting to explore this relationship. Given the growing importance of both green innovation and enterprise risk management in driving sustainable business practices, it is crucial to examine how these two areas interact, particularly in emerging economies like Jordan. This leads to the formulation of our research hypothesis: H2: Green Innovation significantly influences Enterprise Risk Management Performance in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. 2.4 Corporate Sustainability Development, Enterprise Risk Performance, and Green Innovation The integration of corporate sustainability development, enterprise risk management (ERM), and green innovation has become increasingly crucial in today's business landscape. Recent research suggests that these three elements are interconnected and mutually reinforcing (Al-Nimer, 2023 ; Dahlan & Nurhayati, 2022 ). Corporate sustainability, encompassing economic, environmental, and social dimensions, has evolved from a peripheral concern to a core strategic imperative (Montiel & Delgado-Ceballos, 2014 ; Schaltegger et al., 2022 ). Concurrently, ERM has emerged as a critical tool for managing the complex risks associated with sustainable business practices (Florio & Leoni, 2017 ; Schulte & Hallstedt, 2018 ). Green innovation, in turn, has been recognized as a key driver of both sustainability performance and competitive advantage (Shahzad, Qu, Zafar, et al., 2020 ; Wang, 2019 ). The relationship between these constructs is multifaceted. Corporate sustainability initiatives can stimulate green innovation efforts (Hao & Fu, 2023 ; Liu & Yan, 2018 ), which inherently involve managing new risks and uncertainties (Farooq et al., 2024 ). Simultaneously, effective risk management can create an environment conducive to sustainable innovation by mitigating potential threats and identifying opportunities (Choi & Lee, 2009 ; Sun et al., 2020 ). In the context of emerging economies, particularly in the manufacturing sector, the interplay between these elements becomes even more critical. Companies in these markets face unique challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities (Abdallah et al., 2024 ; Al-Ghwayeen & Abdallah, 2018 ). The Jordanian manufacturing sector, for instance, provides an ideal setting to explore these dynamics due to its ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability practices while managing associated risks and driving innovation (Al-Sa’di et al., 2017 ; Ayoub et al., 2017 ). Building on these insights, we propose that green innovation may play a mediating role in the relationship between corporate sustainability development and enterprise risk management. This proposition is grounded in the following logic: corporate sustainability initiatives can drive green innovation efforts, which in turn necessitate more sophisticated risk management practices to address the uncertainties associated with new technologies and processes. These enhanced risk management capabilities can then feedback into more effective sustainability strategies, creating a virtuous cycle. Based on this theoretical framework, we formulate the following hypothesis: H3: The association between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management is mediated by Green Innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. 3. Research Model The proposed research model (see Fig. 1 ) integrates Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD), Enterprise Risk Management Performance (ERMP), and Green Innovation (GI) within the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, building upon and extending recent scholarly work on sustainability, risk management, and innovation in emerging economies (Al-Ghwayeen & Abdallah, 2018 ; Hussain et al., 2018 ; Morioka et al., 2022 ). This conceptual framework positions CSD as the independent variable, recognizing its pivotal role in shaping organizational strategy and performance in today's business landscape. ERMP serves as the dependent variable, reflecting the growing significance of integrated risk management approaches in sustainable business practices. GI is introduced as a mediating variable, acknowledging its potential to influence the relationship between sustainability initiatives and risk management outcomes. The theoretical underpinnings of this model draw from several key perspectives that collectively provide a robust foundation for understanding the complex interplay between sustainability, innovation, and risk management. Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, 2010 ) informs the model's recognition that effective corporate sustainability and risk management practices must address the diverse needs and expectations of various stakeholders. The Resource-Based View (Barney & Clark, 2007 ) supports the notion that sustainable competitive advantage can be achieved through the development and deployment of unique organizational resources and capabilities related to sustainability and innovation. Dynamic Capabilities Theory (Teece et al., 1997 ) underscores the importance of organizational adaptability and flexibility in responding to changing environmental and market conditions through innovation and risk management. Institutional Theory (Tina Dacin et al., 2002 ) provides insights into the influence of institutional pressures and norms on organizational practices related to sustainability, innovation, and risk management, particularly in the context of emerging economies. 4. Methodology This study employs a quantitative approach to examine the relationships between Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD), Enterprise Risk Management Performance (ERMP), and Green Innovation (GI) in the Jordanian business context. We utilize a cross-sectional survey design to capture these complex relationships at a specific point in time (Rindfleisch et al., 2008 ). 4.1 Sample and Population Our sampling frame comprised companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2023. The population consisted of 233 companies across three sectors: 139 in services, 55 in manufacturing, and 39 in merchandise. We employed a stratified random sampling technique to ensure proportional representation across sectors (Taherdoost, 2020 ). Sample size was determined using power analysis, targeting a minimum detectable effect size of 0.3 at α = 0.05 and power = 0.8, resulting in a required sample of 158 firms (Buchner et al., 2017 ). Data collection was conducted via a structured questionnaire using the Qualtrics XM platform. Following Dillman's tailored design method (Dillman et al., 2014 ), we implemented a four-wave contact strategy over a 10-week period. Of the 233 companies contacted, we received 97 responses, yielding a response rate of 41.63%. The sectoral breakdown of responses is presented in Table 1 . This distribution aligns with the evolving structure of the Jordanian economy, which has experienced a shift towards service-oriented industries in recent years. The substantial representation of manufacturing firms (35.1%) is noteworthy, given the sector's critical role in sustainability practices and environmental management (Tseng et al., 2022). Recent research by Hossain et al. ( 2022 ) suggests that service and manufacturing sectors in emerging economies often exhibit different patterns in adopting sustainability practices, with manufacturing firms typically facing more stringent environmental regulations and stakeholder pressures. This sectoral diversity in our sample allows for a nuanced examination of how industry-specific factors may influence the relationships between corporate sustainability development, enterprise risk management, and green innovation. The age profile, with 69.1% of firms operating for 15 years or less, indicates a relatively young corporate landscape. The predominance of companies with narrower product ranges (80.5% offering 10 or fewer products/services) may indicate a trend towards specialization or reflect resource constraints faced by firms in developing economies. The prevalence of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the sample, with 68.1% of firms employing 150 or fewer staff. The sample includes firms with 50–450 employees and ages ranging from less than 10 years to more than 25 years. Table 1 provides a detailed breakdown of the sample characteristics.

More than 450 0 0% 1.2 Measures All multi-item constructs were measured using 7-point Likert scales (1 = strongly disagree to 7 = strongly agree). The survey instrument was developed in English and translated into Arabic using a back-translation procedure to ensure conceptual equivalence (Brislin, 1980 ). 4.2.1 Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD) CSD was operationalized using a 17-item scale adapted from the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI, 2023) and recent literature, encompassing economic, environmental, and social dimensions. We incorporated five items from the sustainability practices indicator (Imran et al., 2018 ) to measure the overall focus of the organization on sustainability practices and principles. Additionally, we included sustainable competitive advantage indicators adopted from de Guimarães et al. ( 2018 ), such as having an advantage in environmental care, focus on green initiatives, and social responsibility compared to competitors. 4.2.2 Enterprise Risk Management Performance (ERMP) ERMP was assessed using the Enterprise Risk Management Index (ERMI). The ERMI combines the achievements of four key objectives into a single metric: ERMI = Σ Strategy + Σ Operation + Σ Reporting + Σ Compliance This index was operationalized through a 20-item scale covering strategic, operational, reporting, and compliance risk management dimensions. Each dimension was scored by summing its respective items, and the overall ERMI was calculated by summing the scores of all four dimensions. 4.2.3 Green Innovation (GI) GI was measured using a 15-item scale adapted from recent studies, comprising green product, process, and managerial innovation dimensions. We incorporated a five-item Likert scale from (Kraus et al., 2020 ). 4.2.4 Control Variables We included several firm-level control variables: firm size (log of total assets), firm age, industry sector (dummy-coded), number of products/services, and number of employees. 2. Data Analysis and Results Our analytical approach began with preliminary analyses using IBM SPSS 29.0, including data screening for outliers, normality, and multicollinearity, as well as exploratory factor analysis. We conducted Harman's single-factor test to check for common method bias (Podsakoff et al., 2003 ). Subsequently, we employed Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Mplus 9.0 to assess the validity and reliability of our measures, evaluating model fit using multiple indices: χ²/df, CFI, TLI, RMSEA, and SRMR (Hair et al., 2022 ). Hypothesis testing was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with Maximum Likelihood estimation in Mplus 9.0. We examined both direct and indirect effects, employing bootstrapping with 5000 resamples to test for mediation effects (Preacher et al., 2007 ). 5.1 Descriptive statistics The descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) of the main constructs are presented in Table 2 . The descriptive results indicate that enterprise sustainable performance has the highest mean score (3.3052) and enterprise risk management has the lowest mean score (2.33222). As regarding standard deviation, corporate development sustainability has highest value (0.42098), while green innovation has the lowest score (0.32290). Additionally, the data normality assumption is corroborated by skewness and kurtosis scores (less than +/-2), as suggested by (Wooldridge, 2009 ). Table 2 Descriptive statistics Mean Std. Deviation Skewness Kurtosis Corporate development sustainability 2.4834 0.42098 0.038 -1.004 Green innovation 2.3391 0.32290 0.038 − .791 Enterprise Risk Management 2.3322 0.40429 0.435 -1.017 Enterprise sustainable performance 3.3052 0.32448 0.594 -0.099 5.2 Correlation Coefficients This study used Pearson correlation analysis (see Table 3 ) to examine the intricate relationships among the main constructs of the study. The correlation matrix demonstrates that corporate development sustainability significantly positively relates to green process innovation (r = 0.835, p < 0.01), green organizational innovation (r = 0.590, p < 0.01)., green product innovation (r = 0.889, p < 0.01)., green technological innovation (r = 0.939, p < 0.01) and enterprise risk management (r = 0.673, p < 0.01). Similarly, green process innovation (r = 0.607, p < 0.01), green organizational innovation (r = 0.927, p < 0.01)., green product innovation (r = 0.564, p < 0.01), and green technological innovation (r = 0.853, p < 0.01) are significantly associated with enterprise risk management.

Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2−tailed) 5.3 Multi-collinearity Statistics: Assessing Model In Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), assessing multi-collinearity is crucial for ensuring the stability and reliability of the model. The Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is a widely accepted metric for evaluating the degree of collinearity among predictor variables (Hair et al., 2019 ). This study employs VIF analysis to examine the potential presence of multi-collinearity in our PLS-SEM model. Hair et al. ( 2019 ) suggests that VIF values of 5 or greater indicate potential collinearity concerns. This threshold is widely accepted in the field of management research. It's important to note that VIF is calculated as the reciprocal of tolerance (1/Tolerance), implying that VIF values are always greater than or equal to 1. The absence of multi-collinearity would result in a VIF value of 1, while increasing values indicate higher degrees of collinearity. The maximum VIF (see Table 4 ) value observed in our model is 4.969, which falls below the commonly accepted threshold of 5 proposed by (Hair et al., 2019 ). This indicates that multi-collinearity is not a significant concern in our model, supporting the statistical validity of our PLS-SEM analysis. Table 4 Multi-collinearity statistics 1 2 3 4 5 6 Corporate Development Sustainability 4.969 4.969 1.000 Enterprise sustainable performance 1.000 1.000 Enterprises Risk Management Financial Performance Green Innovation 4.969 4.969 Non-Financial performance Note : 1=Corporate development sustainability, 2=Enterprise sustainable performance, 3=Enterprise Risk Management, 4=Financial performance, 5=Green innovation, 6=non−financial performance . 5.4 Validity and Reliability analysis 5.4.1 Convergent validity To assess the validity and reliability of the constructs, a series of analyses were conducted using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) algorithm technique with 5,000 subsamples. Validity refers to the extent to which a scale accurately measures the intended construct (Hair et al., 2022 ). Construct validity encompasses both convergent and discriminant validity, which can be evaluated using established threshold values (Sarstedt et al., 2022 ). Convergent validity, a crucial aspect of construct validity, assesses the degree to which multiple measures of the same construct are in agreement (Henseler et al., 2015 ). In PLS-SEM, convergent validity is typically evaluated using two key criteria: factor loadings and average variance extracted (AVE). According to recent literature, acceptable thresholds for these criteria are factor loadings > 0.70 and AVE > 0.50 (Henseler et al., 2015 ). To achieve satisfactory factor loadings, multiple iterations of the PLS algorithm were performed. This process resulted in the removal of several items due to factor loadings below the 0.70 threshold: Corporate Development Sustainability (CDS): 3 items removed (CDS3 = 0.317, CDS6 = 0.663, CDS9 = 0.674). The removal of items with low factor loadings is a common practice in PLS-SEM to improve model fit and construct validity (Hair et al., 2022 ). However, it is important to note that the removal of items should be done cautiously, considering both statistical criteria and theoretical implications (Ringle et al., 2020 ). After removing these items, the PLS algorithm was re-run, resulting in factor loadings for the remaining items meeting or exceeding the 0.70 threshold, as shown in Table 5 . Table 5 Factor loadings Corporate Development Sustainability Enterprises Risk Management Financial Performance Green Innovation Non-Financial performance CDS1 0.858 CDS2 0.890 CDS4 0.901 CDS5 0.867 CDS7 0.896 CDS8 0.769 ERM2 0.890 ERM3 0.824 ERM4 0.855 ERM5 0.846 ERM7 0.744 ERM8 0.729 ERM9 0.872 ERN6 0.856 FP1 0.722 FP2 0.920 FP3 0.792 FP6 0.911 GOI2 0.707 GOI3 0.782 GOI5 0.723 GOI6 0.761 GPI1 0.837 GPI2 0.866 GPI3 0.727 GPI8 0.725 GPPI1 0.874 GPPI2 0.754 GPPI3 0.782 GPPI4 0.749 GPPI6 0.827 GPPI8 0.884 GTI1 0.723 GTI2 0.771 GTI3 0.728 GTI4 0.778 GTI5 0.775 GTI7 0.793 GTI9 0.811 NFP1 0.844 NFP2 0.755 NFP3 0.821 NFP4 0.861 ***p < .001, GOI9=0.265 The second critical component of convergent validity is the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) (Hair et al., 2022 ; Schaltegger et al., 2022 ). The AVE represents the amount of variance captured by a construct in relation to the variance due to measurement error (Fornell & Larcker, 1981 ). According to established guidelines, the AVE for each latent construct should exceed 0.50 to demonstrate adequate convergent validity. Table 6 presents the AVE values for all latent constructs in the study. The results indicate that all constructs meet or exceed the recommended threshold of 0.50, providing strong evidence of convergent validity. Specifically, the AVE values for each construct are as follows in Table 6 . Table 6 Average variance extracted (AVE) Average Variance Extracted (AVE) Corporate Development Sustainability 0.748 Enterprise sustainable performance 0.540 Enterprises Risk Management 0.687 Financial Performance 0.707 Green Innovation 0.586 Non-Financial performance 0.674 5.5 Discriminant validity Discriminant validity is a crucial aspect of construct validity that assesses the extent to which constructs that are theoretically distinct are indeed unrelated in the measurement model (Hair et al., 2022 ). It ensures that a construct is truly distinct from other constructs by empirical standards, thereby establishing the uniqueness of each construct in capturing phenomena not represented by other constructs in the model. In this study, discriminant validity was evaluated using two primary methods: cross-loadings examination and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. These methods are widely accepted in the literature and provide complementary evidence of discriminant validity (Henseler et al., 2015 ). 5.6 Cross-Loadings Examination The cross-loadings approach posits that an indicator's loading on its assigned construct should be higher than its loadings on all other constructs (Hair & Alamer, 2022 ). Table 7 presents the cross-loadings matrix, which demonstrates that each indicator loads most strongly on its associated construct, providing initial evidence of discriminant validity. For instance, the indicators for Corporate Development Sustainability (CDS1-CDS8) show consistently higher loadings on their intended construct (ranging from 0.769 to 0.901) compared to their loadings on other constructs. This pattern is observed across all constructs, supporting the discriminant validity of the measurement model.

This approach compares the square root of each construct's Average Variance Extracted (AVE) with its correlations with other constructs. Discriminant validity is established when the square root of a construct's AVE exceeds its correlation with any other construct (Hair & Alamer, 2022 ). Table 8 presents the Fornell-Larcker criterion results. The diagonal elements (in bold) represent the square root of the AVE for each construct, while off-diagonal elements are the correlations between constructs. The results in Table 8 demonstrate that the square root of AVE for each construct is greater than its correlations with other constructs, further confirming discriminant validity. For example, Corporate Development Sustainability has a √AVE of 0.865, which is higher than its correlations with other constructs (ranging from − 0.828 to 0.894 in absolute values). Table 8 Fornell-Larcker Criterion 1 2 3 4 5 6 Corporate Development Sustainability 0.865 Enterprise sustainable performance -0.828 0.735 Enterprises Risk Management 0.604 -0.769 0.829 Financial Performance -0.795 0.903 -0.826 0.841 Green Innovation 0.894 -0.869 0.849 -0.868 0.766 Non-Financial performance -0.656 0.870 -0.517 0.573 -0.652 0.821 Note: Note : 1=Corporate development sustainability, 2=Enterprise sustainable performance, 3=Enterprise Risk Management, 4=Financial performance, 5=Green innovation, 6=non−financial performance . 5.7 Construct Reliability Construct reliability is a crucial aspect of measurement model evaluation, assessing the internal consistency and stability of the measures (Hair & Alamer, 2022 ). In this study, two primary indicators of construct reliability were employed: Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. 5.6.1 Cronbach's Alpha Cronbach's alpha is a widely used measure of internal consistency, reflecting the degree to which a set of items consistently measure the same construct. While traditionally, an alpha value greater than 0.70 has been considered acceptable (Hair & Alamer, 2022 ). 5.6.2 Composite Reliability Composite reliability (CR) offers an alternative measure of internal consistency that addresses some limitations of Cronbach's alpha, particularly its sensitivity to the number of items in the scale (Hair et al., 2022 ). CR values above 0.70 are generally considered acceptable, indicating good internal consistency (Fornell & Larcker, 1981 ). Table 9 presents the Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability values for all constructs in the study. The results demonstrate strong internal consistency across all constructs. Cronbach's alpha values range from 0.838 to 0.965, while composite reliability values range from 0.892 to 0.968, all exceeding the recommended threshold of 0.70 Table 9 Cronbach alpha and Composite reliability Cronbach's Alpha Composite Reliability Corporate Development Sustainability 0.932 0.947 Enterprise sustainable performance 0.878 0.904 Enterprises Risk Management 0.934 0.946 Financial Performance 0.857 0.905 Green Innovation 0.965 0.968 Non-Financial performance 0.838 0.892 5.7 Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) To test the hypothesized relationships among constructs, this study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), a variance-based approach that is particularly suitable for complex models and exploratory research (Hair & Alamer, 2022 ). The PLS-SEM algorithm was used to estimate the model parameters, followed by a bootstrapping procedure to assess the statistical significance of the path coefficients. The PLS-SEM approach, combined with bootstrapping, offers a robust framework for testing the hypothesized relationships, allowing for nuanced interpretation of both the statistical and practical significance of the findings. 5.8 Direct effects The structural model results, presented in Table 10 , elucidate the complex interrelationships among corporate development sustainability, enterprise sustainable performance, enterprise risk management, and green innovation in Jordanian manufacturing industries. These findings offer nuanced insights into the multifaceted nature of sustainability implementation in industrial contexts. 5.8.1 Corporate Development Sustainability and Enterprise Sustainable Performance The analysis reveals a significant negative relationship between corporate development sustainability and enterprise sustainable performance (β = -0.259, p = 0.004), supporting Hypothesis 1. This finding aligns with the "sustainability paradox" concept proposed by (Hahn et al., 2017 ), which posits that firms may experience short-term performance declines as they transition towards more sustainable practices. The negative relationship may be attributed to the initial resource allocation and organizational restructuring required for sustainability initiatives, which can temporarily impact financial metrics (Eccles et al., 2014 ). 5.8.2 Corporate Development Sustainability and Enterprise Risk Management A strong negative relationship is observed between corporate development sustainability and enterprise risk management (β = -0.770, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 2. This unexpected finding challenges the conventional wisdom that sustainability practices enhance risk management capabilities (Flammer & Ioannou, 2021 ). However, it aligns with recent research by Ortiz-de‐Mandojana and Bansal ( 2016 ), who argue that sustainability initiatives may initially disrupt established risk management processes, necessitating a reconfiguration of organizational practices. This result underscores the need for a more dynamic and adaptive approach to risk management in the context of sustainability transitions, as proposed by Linnenluecke ( 2017 ) in her work on resilience in business and management research. 5.8.3 Corporate Development Sustainability and Green Innovation Corporate development sustainability demonstrates a strong positive relationship with green innovation (β = 0.894, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 3. This finding corroborates recent literature on the innovation-driving potential of sustainability initiatives (Klewitz & Hansen, 2014 ; Xie et al., 2019 ). The strong positive effect suggests that firms investing in corporate development sustainability are more likely to engage in green innovation activities, potentially creating new market opportunities and competitive advantages. This relationship aligns with the natural-resource-based view of the firm (Hart & Dowell, 2011 ), which posits that environmentally proactive strategies can lead to the development of valuable organizational capabilities, including innovation capacity. 5.8.4 Green Innovation and Enterprise Sustainable Performance Interestingly, green innovation shows a significant negative relationship with enterprise sustainable performance (β = -0.637, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 4. While counterintuitive, this finding is consistent with recent research on the "innovation-performance paradox" in the context of sustainability (Maletič et al., 2016 ). The negative relationship might be attributed to the high initial costs and uncertain returns associated with green innovation projects, particularly in the short term. Tang et al. ( 2018 ) suggest that this negative relationship may be more pronounced in industries with long product development cycles and high capital intensity, characteristics typical of many manufacturing sectors. This contextual factor could be particularly relevant for Jordanian manufacturing industries. 5.8.5 Green Innovation and Enterprise Risk Management Finally, green innovation demonstrates a strong positive relationship with enterprise risk management (β = 1.537, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 5. This finding aligns with recent literature on the risk-mitigating potential of sustainability-driven innovations (Flammer & Bansal, 2017 ; Ortiz-de‐Mandojana & Bansal, 2016 ).The strong positive effect suggests that firms engaging in green innovation are better positioned to identify and manage sustainability-related risks, enhancing their overall resilience. This relationship underscores the potential of green innovation to serve as a strategic risk management tool, particularly in the face of increasing environmental regulations and stakeholder pressures (Saardchom, 2016 ).

The results highlight the need for a more holistic and long-term perspective when evaluating the impacts of sustainability initiatives on organizational outcomes. Future research could explore the temporal aspects of these relationships, potentially uncovering how they evolve as firms progress in their sustainability journeys and as institutional environments adapt to support. 5.9 Mediation analysis The mediation analysis results, presented in Table 11 , provide critical insights into the complex interrelationships among corporate development sustainability, green innovation, enterprise risk management, and enterprise sustainable performance. These findings contribute to the evolving discourse on sustainability-driven organizational outcomes in manufacturing contexts. 5.9.1 Green Innovation as a Mediator between Corporate Development Sustainability and Enterprise Risk Management The analysis reveals that green innovation significantly and positively mediates the relationship between corporate development sustainability and enterprise risk management (β = 1.374, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 6. This finding aligns with the dynamic capabilities framework (Teece, 2018) and recent empirical evidence on sustainability-oriented innovation (Bocken & Geradts, 2020 ; Kusi-Sarpong et al., 2019 ). The strong positive mediation effect suggests that corporate sustainability initiatives foster green innovation capabilities, which in turn enhance an organization's capacity to manage risks. This relationship can be understood through the lens of the "shared value" concept proposed by (Kramer & Porter, 2011 ), where sustainability practices lead to innovative solutions that address both environmental concerns and business risks. Recent work by Flammer and Bansal ( 2017 ) provides further support for this finding, demonstrating that firms engaging in long-term-oriented strategies, including sustainability initiatives, exhibit superior risk management capabilities. Moreover, Ortiz-de‐Mandojana and Bansal ( 2016 ) found that firms practicing social and environmental sustainability displayed greater resilience during economic crises, suggesting enhanced risk management through sustainable practices. 5.9.2 Green Innovation as a Mediator between Corporate Development Sustainability and Enterprise Sustainable Performance Interestingly, green innovation significantly and negatively mediates the relationship between corporate development sustainability and enterprise sustainable performance (β = -0.570, p < 0.001), supporting Hypothesis 7. While this negative mediation effect may seem counterintuitive, it aligns with recent literature on the "tensions" and "paradoxes" in corporate sustainability (Hahn et al., 2017 ). This finding can be interpreted through the lens of instrumental stakeholder theory (Jones et al., 2018 ), which suggests that firms must balance the interests of various stakeholders, often leading to short-term trade-offs. The negative mediation effect may reflect the initial costs and organizational adjustments associated with green innovation initiatives, which can temporarily impact performance metrics. Recent empirical work by Maletič et al. ( 2016 ) supports this interpretation, demonstrating that the relationship between sustainability-oriented innovation practices and organizational performance is complex and often non-linear. Similarly, Tang et al. ( 2018 ) found that the impact of green innovation on firm performance can vary depending on the type of innovation and the institutional environment.

Corporate Development Sustainability-> Green Innovation -> Enterprise sustainable performance -0.570 7.543 0.000 These mediation results underscore the multifaceted nature of sustainability-driven innovation and its impacts on organizational outcomes. They highlight the need for a more nuanced, context-specific approach when evaluating the effects of green innovation on risk management and performance. 5.10 Model Explanatory Power The model's explanatory power was assessed using the coefficient of determination (R²) for endogenous latent variables, as recommended by (Hair et al., 2019 ). R² values are interpreted as ≥ 0.25 (weak), ≥ 0.50 (moderate), and ≥ 0.75 (substantial) (Henseler et al., 2015 ). As shown in Table 12 , the model demonstrates strong explanatory power. These R² values indicate substantial effects, suggesting that the model captures a significant portion of the variance in the endogenous constructs. R² values should be considered alongside other model evaluation criteria, such as predictive relevance (Q²) and effect sizes (f²), to provide a comprehensive assessment of model quality. Moreover, recent methodological advancements suggest complementing R² with the Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) as a model fit criterion in PLS-SEM (Hair et al., 2017 ).

Discussion This study provides a nuanced examination of the relationships among corporate development sustainability (CDS), green innovation (GI), enterprise risk management (ERM), and enterprise sustainable performance (ESP) within Jordanian manufacturing firms. The findings reveal complex dynamics that both support and challenge existing theoretical frameworks, contributing significantly to our understanding of sustainable business practices in emerging economies. To substantiate the H0, the findings indicate that CDS has negative influence on the negative ESP. These outcomes are aligns with the "sustainability paradox" concept (Hahn et al., 2017 ) and extends its applicability to emerging economy contexts. This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms may experience short-term performance declines as they transition towards more sustainable practices. This result is consistent with recent research by (Eccles et al., 2014 ), who found that sustainability initiatives often require significant initial investments and organizational restructuring, temporarily impacting financial metrics. Further Ortiz-de‐Mandojana and Bansal ( 2016 ) argue that sustainability initiatives may initially disrupt established risk management processes, necessitating a reconfiguration of organizational practices. These results collectively suggest that the implementation of sustainability practices in Jordanian manufacturing firms may lead to short-term disruptions in both performance and risk management. However, they also point to the potential for long-term benefits, underscoring the need for a more nuanced, temporal understanding of sustainability impacts. To authenticateH1, the findings display a strong positive impact of CDS on GI. These outcomes support the natural-resource-based view of the firm (Hart & Dowell, 2011 ) and corroborates recent literature on the innovation-driving potential of sustainability initiatives. This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms investing in CDS are more likely to engage in green innovation activities.. Similarly, Bocken and Geradts ( 2020 ) examined 42 large corporations and found that sustainability-oriented strategies acted as catalysts for various forms of innovation, including product, process, and business model innovations. Their study revealed that firms integrating sustainability into their core strategies were 3.1 times more likely to develop breakthrough innovations compared to those treating sustainability as a peripheral activity. However, the significant negative relationship between GI and ESP aligns with recent research on the "innovation-performance paradox" in sustainability contexts (Maletič et al., 2016 ). This result suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms may experience short-term performance declines due to the high initial costs and uncertain returns associated with green innovation projects. Additionally, Tang et al. ( 2018 ) conducted a longitudinal study of 267 manufacturing firms and found that while green product innovations led to improved financial performance in the long term, there was a significant negative impact on short-term profitability, particularly in the first two years following innovation implementation. To validate the H2, the findings shows that GI significantly positively contribute to ERM. These outcomes support recent literature on the risk-mitigating potential of sustainability-driven innovations. This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms engaging in green innovation are better positioned to identify and manage sustainability-related risks, enhancing their overall resilience. This results are consistent with Flammer and Bansal ( 2017 ), who examined a sample of 3,005 publicly listed U.S. companies and found that firms engaging in long-term-oriented environmental strategies, including green innovations, exhibited superior risk management capabilities and were more resilient to environmental shocks. To corroborate H3, the findings demonstrate that GI partially mediate the nexus between CDS and ERM. These findings are aligns with the dynamic capabilities framework (Teece et al., 1997 ) and recent empirical evidence on sustainability-oriented innovation. This result suggests that in Jordanian manufacturing firms, corporate sustainability initiatives foster green innovation capabilities, which in turn enhance an organization's capacity to manage risks. These findings are corroborated by Kusi-Sarpong et al. ( 2019 ), who conducted a multi-country study of 241 manufacturing firms and found that green innovation practices mediated the relationship between sustainability orientation and operational risk management, explaining 57% of the variance in this relationship. Furthermore, the findings also demonstrate that GI partially mediate the relationship between CDS and ESP. These outcomes are aligns with recent literature on the "tensions" and "paradoxes" in corporate sustainability (Hahn et al., 2017 ). This finding can be interpreted through the lens of instrumental stakeholder theory (Jones et al., 2018 ), suggesting that Jordanian manufacturing firms must balance the interests of various stakeholders, often leading to short-term trade-offs. Additionally, a longitudinal study by Xie et al. ( 2019 ) of 209 Chinese manufacturing firms found that while green innovation negatively mediated the relationship between environmental management practices and short-term financial performance, it positively mediated this relationship when considering a five-year performance window. In conclusion, these findings provide a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics among corporate development sustainability, green innovation, enterprise risk management, and sustainable performance in Jordanian manufacturing industries. They highlight the need for a long-term perspective in sustainability implementation and underscore the critical role of green innovation in mediating the relationships between sustainability initiatives and organizational outcomes. The results call for more sophisticated theoretical frameworks that can account for the temporal dimensions and contextual factors influencing sustainable business practices in emerging economies. 6.1 Implications Section: 6.1.1 Theoretical Implications: Sustainability Paradox in Emerging Economies: This study extends the application of the sustainability paradox concept Hahn et al. ( 2017 ) to the Jordanian manufacturing context, demonstrating its relevance in emerging economies. This finding contributes to the growing body of literature on context-specific sustainability implementation. Reconceptualizing Sustainability and Risk Management: Our findings challenge conventional wisdom regarding the relationship between sustainability practices and risk management, calling for more nuanced theoretical frameworks. Our study contributes to the emerging literature on organizational resilience in the face of sustainability challenges. Green Innovation as a Complex Mediator: The study provides empirical support for the natural-resource-based view of the firm (Hart & Dowell, 2011 ) in the context of green innovation, while also contributing to the literature on the innovation-performance paradox in sustainability contexts (Maletič et al., 2016 ). Our findings on the mediating role of green innovation extend recent work by Li et al. ( 2023 ), advancing our understanding of the mechanisms through which sustainability practices influence firm performance and risk management. 6.2.2 Practical Implications: Long-term Perspective in Sustainability Implementation: Managers should adopt a long-term view when implementing sustainability initiatives, preparing stakeholders for potential short-term performance declines. This aligns with recommendations by Eccles et al. ( 2014 ). Organizations should develop comprehensive performance metrics that capture both financial and non-financial outcomes over extended time horizons. Adaptive Risk Management Systems: Our findings highlight the need for organizations to develop more flexible and adaptive risk management systems when transitioning towards sustainable business models. Fostering Green Innovation: The strong positive relationship between corporate development sustainability and green innovation underscores the importance of viewing sustainability initiatives as drivers of innovation. Managers should create organizational cultures and structures that support experimentation and learning in sustainability contexts, aligning with recommendations from Bocken and Geradts ( 2020 ). Balancing Short-term Costs and Long-term Benefits: Given the complex relationships between green innovation, performance, and risk management, managers should adopt a balanced approach. While recognizing potential short-term costs, they should consider the long-term benefits in terms of risk mitigation and future competitive advantages. This aligns with findings from Xie et al. ( 2019 ) on the long-term financial benefits of green innovation in manufacturing firms. Policy Support for Sustainable Business Transitions: Policymakers should develop supportive institutional frameworks to help firms navigate the tensions between sustainability initiatives, innovation, and short-term performance. This may include incentives for long-term investments in sustainable technologies, support for green innovation networks, and the development of nuanced performance evaluation criteria for sustainable businesses. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive examination of the intricate relationships among corporate development sustainability, green innovation, enterprise risk management, and sustainable performance in Jordanian manufacturing industries. Our findings reveal a complex interplay of effects that both support and challenge existing theoretical frameworks. First, we find that corporate development sustainability initiatives may lead to short-term disruptions in both performance and risk management practices, aligning with the sustainability paradox concept (Hahn et al., 2017 ). This highlights the need for a long-term perspective in sustainability implementation, particularly in emerging economy contexts. Second, our results underscore the critical role of green innovation as a mediator between sustainability initiatives and organizational outcomes. While green innovation enhances risk management capabilities, it may exacerbate short-term performance challenges, supporting recent work on the complex effects of sustainability-oriented innovations. Third, our study contributes to the growing body of literature on the context-specific nature of sustainability implementation in emerging economies. The findings highlight the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Jordanian manufacturing firms in their sustainability transitions. These results collectively call for a more nuanced and holistic approach to implementing sustainability practices in emerging economy contexts. They emphasize the importance of managing stakeholder expectations, developing adaptive organizational capabilities, and fostering supportive institutional environments to navigate the complexities of sustainable business transitions. By shedding light on both the challenges and opportunities associated with sustainability transitions, this study contributes to the ongoing academic discourse and offers valuable insights for practitioners. It underscores the need for a more sophisticated understanding of the temporal dynamics of sustainability implementations and their varied impacts across different organizational domains. In conclusion, our findings suggest that while the path to sustainable business practices in emerging economies may be fraught with short-term challenges, the potential long-term benefits in terms of innovation, risk management, and competitive advantage make it a journey worth undertaking. Future research should continue to explore these complex dynamics across diverse contexts and longer time horizons to further refine our understanding of sustainable business practices in an increasingly complex global environment. 6.3 Limitations and Future Research Section: While this study provides valuable insights, several limitations offer opportunities for future research: Cross-sectional Design: The cross-sectional nature of our data limits our ability to capture dynamic and potentially non-linear relationships over time. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to examine how relationships between sustainability initiatives, green innovation, risk management, and performance evolve over different time horizons. Contextual Limitations: Our focus on manufacturing industries in Jordan may limit the generalizability of findings to other sectors or countries. Future studies should explore these relationships in diverse industrial and national contexts, allowing for comparative analyses. Cross-country studies, particularly within emerging economies, could illuminate how varying institutional environments influence the examined relationships. Green Innovation Typology: While our study considers green innovation as a mediator, it does not differentiate between types of green innovations (e.g., product, process, or organizational). Future research could adopt a more fine-grained approach to examining how different innovation types mediate the relationships between sustainability initiatives and organizational outcomes. Measurement Approaches: Our reliance on self-reported measures may be subject to social desirability bias. Future studies should incorporate objective measures of sustainability performance and innovation outputs to complement subjective assessments. Integration of archival data on environmental performance, patent data for innovation outputs, and financial metrics could provide a more robust empirical foundation, as suggested by (Xie et al., 2019 ). Mechanisms of Risk Management: While our study considers enterprise risk management as an outcome, it does not explore the specific mechanisms through which sustainability initiatives and green innovations influence risk management practices. Future research could delve deeper into these mechanisms, potentially incorporating qualitative methods to provide richer insights into the organizational processes involved. Moderating Factors: Future research could explore potential moderators of the relationships examined in this study. Factors such as firm size, ownership structure, or the presence of sustainability-oriented dynamic capabilities could influence how sustainability initiatives translate into innovation, risk management, and performance outcomes. Stakeholder Perspectives: Our study primarily focuses on organizational-level outcomes. Future research could incorporate multiple stakeholder perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of sustainability initiatives. Industry-Specific Factors: While our study focuses on the manufacturing sector, future research could explore how industry-specific factors influence the relationships between sustainability, innovation, and performance. Comparative studies across different industries could reveal sector-specific challenges and opportunities in sustainability implementation, building on work by (Xie et al., 2019 ). By addressing these limitations and pursuing the suggested research directions, scholars can continue to advance our understanding of sustainable business practices in emerging economy contexts. This will contribute to both theory development and practical guidance for managers and policymakers, ultimately supporting more effective and context-appropriate sustainability transitions in diverse global settings.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, corporate sustainability has emerged as a critical focus for businesses worldwide, driven by increasing environmental concerns, stakeholder pressures, and regulatory requirements. This paradigm shift has brought Corporate Sustainability Development (CSD) and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to the forefront of organizational strategies, particularly in developing economies striving to balance industrial growth with environmental stewardship (Goyal et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e; Mani \u0026amp; Wheeler, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR67\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1998\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCorporate Sustainability Development refers to the integration of economic, environmental, and social considerations into business operations and decision-making processes (H\u0026ouml;risch et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR50\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e; Schaltegger et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR84\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e). It encompasses a wide range of initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact, enhancing social responsibility, and ensuring long-term economic viability. Recent studies have reinforced the importance of integrating CSD into business practices. For instance, Eccles et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e) found that companies with strong sustainability practices demonstrate better operational performance and are more resilient during crises. Additionally, a meta-analysis by Friede et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e) revealed a positive correlation between corporate financial performance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria, underscoring the business case for sustainability. These findings are further supported by recent research from (Garc\u0026iacute;a-S\u0026aacute;nchez et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e), who demonstrated that sustainability practices contribute to improved financial performance and reduced risk in firms across various industries.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnterprise Risk Management, on the other hand, is a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential threats to an organization's objectives and operations (Bohnert et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e; Bromiley et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e). The integration of CSD into ERM has gained traction as organizations recognize the interconnectedness of sustainability issues and business risks. A study by Flammer and Kacperczyk (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e) found that companies integrating sustainability into their core strategies experience lower stock price crash risk, suggesting enhanced risk management capabilities. Similarly, Shahzad, Qu, Javed, et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR88\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e) demonstrated that firms with robust sustainability practices are better equipped to manage environmental and social risks, leading to improved financial performance. These findings are corroborated by recent work from Amel-Zadeh and Serafeim (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e), who found that integrating ESG factors into investment decisions can lead to superior risk-adjusted returns.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the context of developing economies, the manufacturing sector plays a crucial role in economic growth but also faces significant sustainability challenges (Awan et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e). Jordan, as a case in point, has seen its manufacturing sector grappling with the dual imperatives of industrial expansion and environmental protection (Alastal et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e). This context provides a fertile ground for examining the intricate relationships between CSD, ERM, and emerging concepts such as green innovation.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreen innovation, defined as the development and implementation of new products, processes, or services that contribute to environmental protection and sustainable resource use (Tariq et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR96\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Ukko et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR102\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e), has emerged as a potential bridge between sustainability goals and risk management strategies. Zhang et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR109\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e) found that green innovation positively mediates the relationship between environmental regulations and firm performance, suggesting its potential role in linking sustainability practices with risk management and business outcomes. This finding is supported by recent research from Nadeem et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR71\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e), who demonstrated that green innovation practices contribute to improved environmental performance and competitive advantage in manufacturing firms.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study aims to examine the association between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management, with a particular focus on the mediating role of Green Innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector. By investigating this relationship, we seek to contribute to the growing body of literature on sustainable business practices and provide practical insights for managers in developing economies.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe significance of this study lies in its potential to bridge a critical gap in our understanding of how CSD, ERM, and Green Innovation interact in the context of developing economies, particularly within the manufacturing sector. This research addresses a pressing need identified by scholars and practitioners alike for more nuanced insights into sustainability practices in diverse economic settings (Hussain et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR53\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e)u. The manufacturing sector in developing countries like Jordan plays a crucial role in economic growth but also faces significant sustainability challenges (Al-Ghwayeen \u0026amp; Abdallah, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e). By examining the interplay between CSD, ERM, and green innovation in this context, our study contributes to both theoretical understanding and practical application of sustainable business strategies. This is particularly important as developing economies grapple with the dual challenges of industrial growth and environmental protection (Mani \u0026amp; Wheeler, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR67\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1998\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoreover, while previous research has explored CSD and ERM separately, few studies have examined their integration, especially with green innovation as a potential mediator (Saunila et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR82\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e; Zhang et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR109\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e). Our study addresses this research gap, offering insights that could inform more effective sustainability strategies and risk management practices. This is crucial in an era where stakeholders increasingly demand that businesses address environmental and social issues while maintaining economic viability (Eccles \u0026amp; Klimenko, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e; Garc\u0026iacute;a-S\u0026aacute;nchez et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFurthermore, by focusing on the Jordanian manufacturing sector, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers and business leaders in similar developing economies. As these countries seek to balance economic growth with sustainable practices, understanding the dynamics between sustainability, risk management, and innovation becomes paramount (Awan et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e; Nadeem et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR71\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e). Our findings could inform more effective policies and business strategies that promote sustainable industrial development while mitigating associated risks.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTheoretically, this study is grounded in Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2010\u003c/span\u003e),which posits that businesses should create value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Recent extensions of this theory by Jones et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR55\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e) to include environmental stakeholders provide a robust framework for understanding how CSD initiatives can address diverse stakeholder expectations while simultaneously mitigating risks through ERM practices. This theoretical lens allows us to explore how green innovation can serve as a mechanism for aligning stakeholder interests with organizational objectives in the context of sustainability and risk management (Tu \u0026amp; Wu, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR101\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn conclusion, this study aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on sustainable business practices in developing economies, offering a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities. By examining the relationships between CSD, ERM, and green innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector, we seek to provide valuable insights for both academic research and practical application in similar economic contexts.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has become crucial for organizational resilience, particularly as public expectations for corporate responsibility and sustainability have intensified (Saardchom, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR79\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2013\u003c/span\u003e; Tewu et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR99\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e). The convergence of risk management and sustainability concerns has given rise to Sustainability Risk Management (SRM), which integrates sustainability agendas into corporate strategy (Wijethilake \u0026amp; Lama, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR104\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e). This approach not only influences financial performance but also contributes to long-term viability and competitive advantage (Eccles et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eERM plays a pivotal role in fostering sustainable development by facilitating the identification, measurement, and management of sustainability-related risks (Shad et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR86\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e; Shah et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR87\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e). The implementation of an integrated ERM framework provides an essential foundation for ensuring corporate commitments to ethical sustainability practices (Saardchom, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR79\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2013\u003c/span\u003e; Wyma, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR106\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecent research has highlighted the positive relationship between ERM implementation and firm performance, particularly in enhancing sustainability outcomes (Florio \u0026amp; Leoni, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Syrov\u0026aacute; \u0026amp; Špička, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR93\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e). Companies with robust ERM systems are better positioned to identify and capitalize on sustainability-related opportunities, leading to improved financial performance and stakeholder satisfaction (Alawattegama, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e; Hoyt \u0026amp; Liebenberg, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR52\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2011\u003c/span\u003e). In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where sustainability challenges intersect with economic development goals, the relationship between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management Performance becomes particularly salient. The manufacturing industry in Jordan faces unique challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities, making it an ideal setting to explore the interplay between sustainability initiatives and risk management practices (Hussain et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR53\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiven the growing importance of integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and the critical role of ERM in managing organizational risks, it is crucial to examine how these two areas interact, particularly in emerging economies like Jordan. This leads to the formulation of our research hypothesis:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eH0: Corporate Sustainability Development significantly influences Enterprise Risk Management Performance in the Jordanian manufacturing sector.\u003c/em\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec4\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e2.2 Corporate Sustainability Development and Green Innovation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eSustainability performance is a crucial metric for organizations, reflecting their ability to meet current stakeholder needs without compromising future generations (Dyllick \u0026amp; Hockerts, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2002\u003c/span\u003e). This concept has become increasingly intertwined with green innovation, which encompasses solutions at any stage of a product or service lifecycle that significantly improve resource efficiency while reducing environmental impact (Reid \u0026amp; Miedzinski, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR76\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2008\u003c/span\u003e; Tariq et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR97\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGreen innovation extends beyond mere environmental protection, encompassing all innovations that contribute to creating new processes, products, or services that minimize ecological damage, prevent degradation, and optimize natural resource utilization (Anas et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e; Leal-Mill\u0026aacute;n et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR62\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e).This holistic approach has gained prominence as businesses recognize the strategic importance of sustainability in maintaining competitive advantage and long-term viability.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile previous research on green innovation drivers has predominantly focused on external factors such as stakeholder pressure, environmental regulations, and market demand, there is a growing recognition of the significance of internal factors (Cao \u0026amp; Chen, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e; Singh et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR91\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). These internal drivers, including environmental ethics, organizational culture, and environmental orientation, play a crucial role in shaping an enterprise's commitment to green innovation.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the process of green management, an organization's internal stakeholders increase the allocation of resources towards green products, processes, and services. This shift not only coordinates heterogeneous resources but also strengthens environmental willingness, facilitating the integration of organizational resources and reducing the environmental impact of processes and outputs (Chen et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e; Daily \u0026amp; Huang, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e). Recent studies have highlighted the symbiotic relationship between corporate sustainability development and green innovation. For instance, Dangelico et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e) found that companies with robust sustainability practices are more likely to engage in and benefit from green innovation initiatives. Similarly, (Negi et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR72\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e) demonstrated that sustainability-oriented organizational cultures foster environments conducive to green innovation, leading to improved environmental and financial performance. In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility is increasingly critical, the relationship between corporate sustainability development and green innovation becomes particularly relevant (Al-Ghwayeen \u0026amp; Abdallah, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e).

Concurrently, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has gained prominence as a response to rapid globalization and increased regulatory pressure on organizations to manage risk holistically (Florio \u0026amp; Leoni, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Shad et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR86\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e). The importance of ERM has dramatically increased due to a series of corporate fraud cases, financial scandals, growing risk complexity, and heightened scrutiny from regulatory bodies (Keith, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR57\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e). ERM is designed to minimize direct and indirect costs associated with financial distress, earnings volatility, and negative shocks in financial markets. Moreover, it aims to enhance the decision-making process, enabling firms to select optimal investment opportunities and effectively manage various types of operational and non-operational risks (Yang et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR108\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe intersection of green innovation and ERM is particularly relevant in today's business landscape. As organizations strive to innovate sustainably, they must also navigate the associated risks and opportunities. Green innovation can potentially mitigate certain risks by improving resource efficiency and reducing environmental impacts, but it may also introduce new risks related to technology adoption and market acceptance (Zhu et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR111\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecent studies have highlighted the potential synergies between green innovation and effective risk management. For instance, Aftab et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e) found that firms engaging in green innovation practices tend to have more robust risk management systems, as the process of developing eco-friendly solutions often involves comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Similarly, Mukhtar et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR70\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e) demonstrated that companies with strong ERM practices are more likely to successfully implement and benefit from green innovations. However, it's crucial to note that unsustainable behaviors can generate potential business risks, damaging an organization's reputation and potentially leading to its downfall (Zhou \u0026amp; Jin, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR110\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e). This underscores the importance of aligning green innovation initiatives with comprehensive risk management strategies to ensure long-term sustainability and resilience. In the context of the Jordanian manufacturing sector, where balancing economic growth with environmental responsibility is increasingly critical, the relationship between green innovation and enterprise risk management becomes particularly salient (Abdallah \u0026amp; Al-Ghwayeen, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e; Jum\u0026rsquo;a et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR56\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e).This sector faces unique challenges and opportunities in implementing green innovations while effectively managing associated risks, making it an ideal setting to explore this relationship.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGiven the growing importance of both green innovation and enterprise risk management in driving sustainable business practices, it is crucial to examine how these two areas interact, particularly in emerging economies like Jordan. This leads to the formulation of our research hypothesis:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eH2: Green Innovation significantly influences Enterprise Risk Management Performance in the Jordanian manufacturing sector.\u003c/em\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec6\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e2.4 Corporate Sustainability Development, Enterprise Risk Performance, and Green Innovation\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe integration of corporate sustainability development, enterprise risk management (ERM), and green innovation has become increasingly crucial in today's business landscape. Recent research suggests that these three elements are interconnected and mutually reinforcing (Al-Nimer, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e; Dahlan \u0026amp; Nurhayati, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR23\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Corporate sustainability, encompassing economic, environmental, and social dimensions, has evolved from a peripheral concern to a core strategic imperative (Montiel \u0026amp; Delgado-Ceballos, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR68\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e; Schaltegger et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR83\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Concurrently, ERM has emerged as a critical tool for managing the complex risks associated with sustainable business practices (Florio \u0026amp; Leoni, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Schulte \u0026amp; Hallstedt, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR85\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e). Green innovation, in turn, has been recognized as a key driver of both sustainability performance and competitive advantage (Shahzad, Qu, Zafar, et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR90\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e; Wang, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR103\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe relationship between these constructs is multifaceted. Corporate sustainability initiatives can stimulate green innovation efforts (Hao \u0026amp; Fu, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR47\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2023\u003c/span\u003e; Liu \u0026amp; Yan, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR65\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e), which inherently involve managing new risks and uncertainties (Farooq et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e). Simultaneously, effective risk management can create an environment conducive to sustainable innovation by mitigating potential threats and identifying opportunities (Choi \u0026amp; Lee, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2009\u003c/span\u003e; Sun et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR92\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e). In the context of emerging economies, particularly in the manufacturing sector, the interplay between these elements becomes even more critical. Companies in these markets face unique challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental and social responsibilities (Abdallah et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e; Al-Ghwayeen \u0026amp; Abdallah, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e). The Jordanian manufacturing sector, for instance, provides an ideal setting to explore these dynamics due to its ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability practices while managing associated risks and driving innovation (Al-Sa\u0026rsquo;di et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e; Ayoub et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding on these insights, we propose that green innovation may play a mediating role in the relationship between corporate sustainability development and enterprise risk management. This proposition is grounded in the following logic: corporate sustainability initiatives can drive green innovation efforts, which in turn necessitate more sophisticated risk management practices to address the uncertainties associated with new technologies and processes. These enhanced risk management capabilities can then feedback into more effective sustainability strategies, creating a virtuous cycle.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on this theoretical framework, we formulate the following hypothesis:\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eH3: The association between Corporate Sustainability Development and Enterprise Risk Management is mediated by Green Innovation in the Jordanian manufacturing sector.\u003c/em\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"3.

This conceptual framework positions CSD as the independent variable, recognizing its pivotal role in shaping organizational strategy and performance in today's business landscape. ERMP serves as the dependent variable, reflecting the growing significance of integrated risk management approaches in sustainable business practices. GI is introduced as a mediating variable, acknowledging its potential to influence the relationship between sustainability initiatives and risk management outcomes.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe theoretical underpinnings of this model draw from several key perspectives that collectively provide a robust foundation for understanding the complex interplay between sustainability, innovation, and risk management. Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2010\u003c/span\u003e) informs the model's recognition that effective corporate sustainability and risk management practices must address the diverse needs and expectations of various stakeholders. The Resource-Based View (Barney \u0026amp; Clark, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2007\u003c/span\u003e) supports the notion that sustainable competitive advantage can be achieved through the development and deployment of unique organizational resources and capabilities related to sustainability and innovation. Dynamic Capabilities Theory (Teece et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR98\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1997\u003c/span\u003e) underscores the importance of organizational adaptability and flexibility in responding to changing environmental and market conditions through innovation and risk management. Institutional Theory (Tina Dacin et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR100\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2002\u003c/span\u003e) provides insights into the influence of institutional pressures and norms on organizational practices related to sustainability, innovation, and risk management, particularly in the context of emerging economies.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"4.

The substantial representation of manufacturing firms (35.1%) is noteworthy, given the sector's critical role in sustainability practices and environmental management (Tseng et al., 2022). Recent research by Hossain et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR51\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e) suggests that service and manufacturing sectors in emerging economies often exhibit different patterns in adopting sustainability practices, with manufacturing firms typically facing more stringent environmental regulations and stakeholder pressures.

The Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is a widely accepted metric for evaluating the degree of collinearity among predictor variables (Hair et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e). This study employs VIF analysis to examine the potential presence of multi-collinearity in our PLS-SEM model. Hair et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e) suggests that VIF values of 5 or greater indicate potential collinearity concerns. This threshold is widely accepted in the field of management research. It's important to note that VIF is calculated as the reciprocal of tolerance (1/Tolerance), implying that VIF values are always greater than or equal to 1. The absence of multi-collinearity would result in a VIF value of 1, while increasing values indicate higher degrees of collinearity. The maximum VIF (see Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e) value observed in our model is 4.969, which falls below the commonly accepted threshold of 5 proposed by (Hair et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019\u003c/span\u003e). This indicates that multi-collinearity is not a significant concern in our model, supporting the statistical validity of our PLS-SEM analysis.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cdiv

validity\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo assess the validity and reliability of the constructs, a series of analyses were conducted using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) algorithm technique with 5,000 subsamples. Validity refers to the extent to which a scale accurately measures the intended construct (Hair et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Construct validity encompasses both convergent and discriminant validity, which can be evaluated using established threshold values (Sarstedt et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR81\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Convergent validity, a crucial aspect of construct validity, assesses the degree to which multiple measures of the same construct are in agreement (Henseler et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR49\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e). In PLS-SEM, convergent validity is typically evaluated using two key criteria: factor loadings and average variance extracted (AVE). According to recent literature, acceptable thresholds for these criteria are factor loadings\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.70 and AVE\u0026thinsp;\u0026gt;\u0026thinsp;0.50 (Henseler et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR49\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e). To achieve satisfactory factor loadings, multiple iterations of the PLS algorithm were performed. This process resulted in the removal of several items due to factor loadings below the 0.70 threshold: Corporate Development Sustainability (CDS): 3 items removed (CDS3\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.317, CDS6\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.663, CDS9\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.674). The removal of items with low factor loadings is a common practice in PLS-SEM to improve model fit and construct validity (Hair et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). However, it is important to note that the removal of items should be done cautiously, considering both statistical criteria and theoretical implications (Ringle et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR78\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e). After removing these items, the PLS algorithm was re-run, resulting in factor loadings for the remaining items meeting or exceeding the 0.70 threshold, as shown in Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan

It ensures that a construct is truly distinct from other constructs by empirical standards, thereby establishing the uniqueness of each construct in capturing phenomena not represented by other constructs in the model. In this study, discriminant validity was evaluated using two primary methods: cross-loadings examination and the Fornell-Larcker criterion. These methods are widely accepted in the literature and provide complementary evidence of discriminant validity (Henseler et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR49\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2015\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec22\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003e5.6 Cross-Loadings Examination\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe cross-loadings approach posits that an indicator's loading on its assigned construct should be higher than its loadings on all other constructs (Hair \u0026amp; Alamer, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab7\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e presents the cross-loadings matrix, which demonstrates that each indicator loads most strongly on its associated construct, providing initial evidence of discriminant validity.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor instance, the indicators for Corporate Development Sustainability (CDS1-CDS8) show consistently higher loadings on their intended construct (ranging from 0.769 to 0.901) compared to their loadings on other constructs.

Fornell-Larcker criterion offers a more stringent assessment of discriminant validity (Fornell \u0026amp; Larcker, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1981\u003c/span\u003e). This approach compares the square root of each construct's Average Variance Extracted (AVE) with its correlations with other constructs. Discriminant validity is established when the square root of a construct's AVE exceeds its correlation with any other construct (Hair \u0026amp; Alamer, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2022\u003c/span\u003e). Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab8\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e presents the Fornell-Larcker criterion results. The diagonal elements (in bold) represent the square root of the AVE for each construct, while off-diagonal elements are the correlations between constructs. The results in Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab8\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e demonstrate that the square root of AVE for each construct is greater than its correlations with other constructs, further confirming discriminant validity. For example, Corporate Development Sustainability has a \u0026radic;AVE of 0.865, which is higher than its correlations with other constructs (ranging from \u0026minus;\u0026thinsp;0.828 to 0.894 in absolute values).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"gridtable\"\u003e\u003ctable float=\"Yes\" id=\"Tab8\" border=\"1\"\u003e \u003ccaption language=\"En\"\u003e \u003cdiv

While this negative mediation effect may seem counterintuitive, it aligns with recent literature on the \"tensions\" and \"paradoxes\" in corporate sustainability (Hahn et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e). This finding can be interpreted through the lens of instrumental stakeholder theory (Jones et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR55\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e), which suggests that firms must balance the interests of various stakeholders, often leading to short-term trade-offs. The negative mediation effect may reflect the initial costs and organizational adjustments associated with green innovation initiatives, which can temporarily impact performance metrics. Recent empirical work by Maletič et al.

This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms may experience short-term performance declines as they transition towards more sustainable practices. This result is consistent with recent research by (Eccles et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2014\u003c/span\u003e), who found that sustainability initiatives often require significant initial investments and organizational restructuring, temporarily impacting financial metrics. Further Ortiz-de‐Mandojana and Bansal (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR73\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e) argue that sustainability initiatives may initially disrupt established risk management processes, necessitating a reconfiguration of organizational practices. These results collectively suggest that the implementation of sustainability practices in Jordanian manufacturing firms may lead to short-term disruptions in both performance and risk management. However, they also point to the potential for long-term benefits, underscoring the need for a more nuanced, temporal understanding of sustainability impacts.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo authenticateH1, the findings display a strong positive impact of CDS on GI. These outcomes support the natural-resource-based view of the firm (Hart \u0026amp; Dowell, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR48\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2011\u003c/span\u003e) and corroborates recent literature on the innovation-driving potential of sustainability initiatives. This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms investing in CDS are more likely to engage in green innovation activities.. Similarly, Bocken and Geradts (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2020\u003c/span\u003e) examined 42 large corporations and found that sustainability-oriented strategies acted as catalysts for various forms of innovation, including product, process, and business model innovations. Their study revealed that firms integrating sustainability into their core strategies were 3.1 times more likely to develop breakthrough innovations compared to those treating sustainability as a peripheral activity. However, the significant negative relationship between GI and ESP aligns with recent research on the \"innovation-performance paradox\" in sustainability contexts (Maletič et al., \u003cspan citationid=\"CR66\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2016\u003c/span\u003e). This result suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms may experience short-term performance declines due to the high initial costs and uncertain returns associated with green innovation projects. Additionally, Tang et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR95\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e) conducted a longitudinal study of 267 manufacturing firms and found that while green product innovations led to improved financial performance in the long term, there was a significant negative impact on short-term profitability, particularly in the first two years following innovation implementation.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo validate the H2, the findings shows that GI significantly positively contribute to ERM. These outcomes support recent literature on the risk-mitigating potential of sustainability-driven innovations. This finding suggests that Jordanian manufacturing firms engaging in green innovation are better positioned to identify and manage sustainability-related risks, enhancing their overall resilience. This results are consistent with Flammer and Bansal (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2017\u003c/span\u003e), who examined a sample of 3,005 publicly listed U.S. companies and found that firms engaging in long-term-oriented environmental strategies, including green innovations, exhibited superior risk management capabilities and were more resilient to environmental shocks.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo corroborate H3, the findings demonstrate that GI partially mediate the nexus between CDS and ERM.

Using data from 97 companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange, we employed structural equation modeling to examine these complex dynamics. Our findings reveal that CSD negatively impacts both ERMP and enterprise sustainable performance in the short term, challenging conventional wisdom. However, CSD strongly promotes GI, which in turn positively influences ERMP while negatively affecting short-term performance. GI acts as a significant mediator, positively mediating the CSD-ERMP relationship and negatively mediating the CSD-performance link. These results extend the sustainability paradox concept to emerging economies and highlight the critical role of green innovation in balancing sustainability initiatives with risk management and performance outcomes. The study suggests that firms may experience initial disruptions when implementing sustainability practices, but these initiatives can drive innovation within organizations. Based on these findings, we recommend that managers in emerging economies adopt a long-term perspective when implementing sustainability initiatives and develop more flexible risk management systems. Policymakers should consider supportive frameworks to help firms navigate the tensions between sustainability, innovation, and short-term performance. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to capture the dynamic nature of these relationships and explore potential moderating factors such as firm size or industry-specific characteristics.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Unpacking the Complexity of Corporate Sustainability: Green Innovation's Mediating Role in Risk Management and Performance","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-08-05 18:41:48","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4703034/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"d995617f-e0ec-48f7-94be-f89640b1c54f","owner":[],"postedDate":"August 5th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-11-22T12:23:56+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-08-05 18:41:48","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4703034","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4703034","identity":"rs-4703034","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
