Abstract: This study explores the relationship between innovation, supply chain management, and green packaging’s sustainable performance in Malaysia’s food and beverage industry. Sustainability has become an increasingly critical focus for industries worldwide, particularly in developing nations like Malaysia, where the food and beverage sector significantly contribute to the economy. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected via an online survey targeting employees from restaurants, SMEs, and franchises across Peninsular Malaysia. The study utilized descriptive statistics to analyze responses from a sample of 113 participants, selected through simple random sampling. The findings reveal that innovation, efficient supply chain management, and the adoption of green packaging practices significantly influence sustainable performance in the food and beverage industry. Innovation was identified as a key driver for process optimization and waste reduction, while supply chain management enhanced efficiency and minimized environmental impact. Green packaging emerged as a critical factor in addressing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and reducing waste. This research contributes to academic knowledge by demonstrating the importance of these three factors in enhancing sustainability and offers practical insights for stakeholders, including policymakers and business managers. By integrating innovation, sustainable supply chain practices, and green packaging, the industry can improve its environmental, economic, and social performance, positioning itself for long-term growth and competitiveness.
