Abstract
SMEs in East Java, Indonesia, play a crucial role in supporting the national economy, yet they continue to face significant obstacles in the context of global competition. Key challenges include limited access to financial capital, suboptimal adoption of green business strategies and technology, low awareness regarding environmental performance in business operations, and the need for human resource development. Furthermore, a substantial number of SMEs operate informally, which restricts their ability to access policy support and broader markets. This study aims to examine the mediating effect of green business strategy on the relationship between environmental performance and the marketing performance of SMEs. The analysis was conducted with 103 randomly selected batik SME entrepreneurs in East Java. A quantitative approach was employed, involving structured surveys and data analysis using the SEM-PLS technique. The empirical findings reveal that environmental performance has a significant positive impact on green business strategy (significance value p = 0.000***), and green business strategy, in turn, positively affects the marketing performance of SMEs (p = 0.003***). Additionally, environmental performance also directly contributes significantly to SME marketing performance (p = 0.001***). Indirectly, green business strategy is proven to mediate the relationship between environmental performance and SME marketing performance (p = 0.004***). These results indicate that environmental performance not only directly influences SME marketing performance but also exerts an indirect effect by strengthening green business strategies.Acknowledgment
