AB  - Balancing environmental sustainability and green business growth is one of the 
      primary goals of corporate environmental entrepreneurship, while green 
      entrepreneurship orientation (GEO) represents balanced approaches to maximize 
      green business value-added and maintain environmental performance (EP). Green 
      innovation (GI) strengthens green business efficiencies and drives GEO 
      achievements. Building on the natural resource-based view (NRBV) and dynamic 
      capability view (DCV), this research addressed the critical role of GEO and GI on 
      EP. In addition, the effect of green absorptive capacity (GAC) and managerial 
      environmental concern (MEC) on EP is estimated. The results indicated that GEO 
      significantly affects MEC and GI. While GI positively influences MEC, the 
      relationship between GI and GAC was insignificant. Additionally, GAC and MEC 
      positively and greatly influenced EP. As GAC partially mediates the effect of GEO 
      and GI on EP, MEC also partly mediates the relationship between GI and EP. In the 
      context of the environment, this study presents three quantitative achievements, 
      namely (1) it confirms the vital role of green dynamic capabilities such as GAC 
      to balance GEO's green business agenda and maintain environmental performance, 
      (2) GAC converts knowledge creation to knowledge applications focusing on the 
      development of eco-friendly products and processes to reduce environmental 
      pollution, and (3) MEC determine and focus on GI core competencies to support GEO 
      strategies, (4) GAC level up firms green dynamic capabilities to the level of 
      GEO, and thus maintaining ecosystem and eco-business sustainability. In light of 
      the study outcomes, theoretical and managerial implications were highlighted.
