Abstract

Green innovation has emerged as a critical driver of sustainable development, enabling businesses to achieve economic resilience while addressing environmental challenges. This paper explores the role of green innovation strategies in fostering long-term growth, highlighting key practices, challenges, and opportunities. Drawing from case studies of global enterprises, we analyze the interplay between technological advancements, policy frameworks, and market forces. Our findings suggest that businesses adopting green innovation not only enhance competitiveness but also contribute significantly to global sustainability goals. This study provides actionable insights for organizations seeking to integrate sustainability into their core operations.
