The data was analysed through structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate how KM processes, namely knowledge creation, acquisition, sharing and application, impact on green technology and green management innovation and environment, social and economic aspects of sustainability. As per the results, KM significantly impacts on green innovation and CSD activities. Green innovation also indicated significant positive impact on CSD. The dimensional analysis indicated that with the exception of knowledge creation and acquisition, which indicated an insignificant impact on social sustainability, all the paths indicated significant results. Moreover, KM is found as equally important for all sizes manufacturing and services firms. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
