Abstract: Recently, sustainable development has become an important factor for all companies and manufactures. From previous research reviews, it is understood that sustainable development (IISD) could be improved through effect of innovation. Past researches also indicated that increase in knowledge management (KM) can enhance innovation. This study investigated the relationship between knowledge management, innovation, and sustainable development in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector. For this purpose, a survey was conducted to and addressed to a total of 123 employees of Proton Holdings Berhad. Findings from this study revealed that there is a significant relationship between the three variables mentioned; and the mediating role of innovative behaviour (IB) is accepted. This study contributes to the body of sustainable development literature. A particular implication for managers to take note is to invest in sustainable development through knowledge management and innovative behaviour.
