Abstract: The effect of green innovation on sustainable performance has been investigated via analysing the mediating role of strategic learning. The statistical population involves 293 randomly-selected small-and medium-size companies being active in the field of chemical products in Eshtehard industrial town in Iran. Results verify that green innovation, both directly and indirectly, affects sustainable performance of the chemical industry through the strategic learning mediator variable. Our study also provides chemical industry stakeholders a theoretical innovative framework to figure out the impact of green innovation on sustainable performance by emphasising on strategic learning. Limitations of the study are indicated and directions for future research are noted.
