Abstract: The European Green Deal entails benefits for industrial transition to cleaner production through resource efficiency, paving the way to green transition. We develop a conceptual framework to study the drivers of resource efficiency of European industries towards green growth via segments of the countries' competitiveness under technological heterogeneity. Data on 13 industries in 17 European countries over an 8‐year period is used. Evidence shows that isolated efforts to improve productive performance harms environmental efficiency in low competitiveness countries. Results show that industrial environmental performance is affected by country's competitiveness, contributing to the implementation of the New Industrial Strategy of Europe.
