<jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title><jats:p>This study aims to investigate the impact of eco-innovation such as eco-product innovation and eco-process innovation on sustainable manufacturing firm performance (SMFP) and further investigates green innovation as a mediator and digital innovation as a moderator among these relationship.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title><jats:p>The hypotheses were tested using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM-4) technique. Data were gathered through convenience sampling from 149 managers within the manufacturing industry.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title><jats:p>The results reveal a significant positive relationship between eco-innovation and SMFP. Furthermore, green innovation fully mediates the relationship between eco-innovation and SMFP. Also, findings suggest that digital innovation plays a moderating role in the relationship between green innovation and SMFP, which implies that green innovation is more effective in determining SMFP under high environmental dynamism.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title><jats:p>This study offers valuable insights for business owners and policymakers in the manufacturing industry.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title><jats:p>This study contributes important insights to the literature on eco-innovation, green innovation and the manufacturing industry, enhancing the understanding of the drivers behind different types of eco-innovation. Additionally, the study’s exploration of the role of eco-innovation types in SMFP represents a significant contribution to the eco-innovation literature.</jats:p></jats:sec>
