Abstract: This article explores the shift towards environmentally sustainable innovation from a dynamic capabilities perspective, identifying key capabilities influencing sustainable enterprise development. Employing a multiple case study design, the study explores four sustainable enterprises. The findings reveal sensing capabilities driven by knowledge acquisition, an environmentally conscious mindset and market assessment. Seizing capabilities involve co-innovation, knowledge combination and network establishment. Reconfiguring capabilities encompass workforce and supply-chain restructuring. The research emphasizes the importance of dynamic capabilities in sustainable enterprise strategy, offering insights for practitioners and researchers. It underscores the significance of a holistic approach to value creation and continuous adaptation in sustainability. The study, focusing on micro-foundations in an emerging economy, provides unique insights into the dynamics of sustainable firms, contributing to a deeper understanding of their strategic foundations.
