This study examines the influence of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) and digital literacy on sustainable innovation and organizational performance in the manufacturing industry in West Java. As manufacturing companies face increasing pressure to integrate environmental sustainability with technological advancement, understanding these relationships becomes essential. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 165 respondents across various manufacturing firms using a Likert scale questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) was employed to analyze the measurement and structural models. The results show that both Green HRM and digital literacy have significant positive effects on sustainable innovation and organizational performance. Sustainable innovation is also found to mediate the relationship between the predictor variables and organizational performance. The findings highlight the strategic importance of integrating environmental-oriented HR practices and enhancing digital competencies to foster innovation and improve business outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence from the Indonesian manufacturing sector and offers practical recommendations for managers seeking to strengthen sustainability and technology readiness within their organizations.
