Abstract:
The goal of this research is to look at how green manufacturing integration (GMI),
product innovation (GPI), sustainable internal integration (SII), and sustainable supplier
integration (SSI) affect firm financial performance (FFP) in the context of Karachi
manufacturing enterprises.
green
This research is important because it fills a gap in the literature on green manufacturing and
sustainable supply chain management in poor nations, particularly Pakistan (Karachi). It
also offers managers and policymakers practical advice on how to improve their financial
performance by using green manufacturing techniques and promoting collaboration with
internal and external stakeholders. It also helps to create and test theories
manufacturing and sustainability integration as multidimensional constructs that influence
business performance.

Methodology & Design
The goal of research design is to settle and manage research outcomes for helpful
characteristics and constructive findings. As a result, the design must be either
correlational, dealing with the existence of a relationship between study
constructs/variables, or causal, emphasizing the unique cause-and-effect scenario between
study variables or constructs. To achieve the best results and findings, this study used
causal design.

Findings
Green manufacturing integration, green product innovation, sustainable internal
integration, and sustainable supplier integration were found to have good and significant
effects on company financial performance in Karachi manufacturing enterprises, according
to the study. It was also discovered that sustainable internal and supplier integration
mediated the impacts of green manufacturing integration on firm performance, whereas
green product innovation mediated the effects of green manufacturing integration on firm
performance.
Limitations
.
This study has significant limitations that should be recognised and addressed in future
research. First, the use of cross-sectional data limits the causal inference of the variables'
correlations. Second, using self-reported data may involve method bias or social
desirability bias. Third, the findings may be limited in their generalizability due to the
context of Karachi, Pakistan, which may have different environmental conditions and
regulations than other locations or countries. Fourth, the measurement scales utilised in this study may have reliability and validity concerns, particularly SII and SSI, which had low
AYE values.
Recommendations
According to the findings of this study, green manufacturing integration and innovation are
significant drivers of firm financial performance in Karachi manufacturing enterprises. As
a result, it suggests that businesses embrace and execute green manufacturing practises and
products that reduce environmental consequences while increasing customer happiness.
Furthermore, it suggests that managers and policymakers foster a favourable climate for
green manufacturing by offering incentives, training, and resources to businesses and their
stakeholders. Furthermore, it suggests that future research investigate the influence of
language development programmed on the social skills of children aged 1 to 4 in Karachi
preschools, as this study discovered that language abilities are a requirement for social
skills.
