Abstract

This research examines the relationship between green management innovation and resource conservation in firms from 2015 to 2023. The findings suggest that green management innovation can enhance resource conservation in organizations. The benefits are realized by improving firms' ESG performance, total factor productivity, and internal governance capacity. These findings highlight the imperative for politicians and corporate leaders to establish green innovation ecosystems that facilitate the transition from resource exploitation to regenerative capitalism. Future research may explore the interaction between dynamic capabilities in green innovation and future technologies to achieve substantial conservation potential within global value networks.
