Abstract
Green innovation
capabilities play a crucial role for traditional food SMEs in improving their
economic, environmental, and social performance. By developing environmentally
friendly products, processes, and services, traditional food SMEs can access
new markets and align their business processes with consumer demand for
sustainability. However, developing green innovation capabilities is a complex
and multidimensional issue. This study aims to identify key elements for
enhancing green innovation capabilities and their impact on the sustainable
performance of Indonesian traditional food SMEs. This study used a two-round
Delphi process involving a panel of 31 experts from various backgrounds,
including SME owners, academics, government officials, SME associations, and
community leaders. The Delphi process was conducted from September to November
2025. Data analysis revealed nine elements, six of which were highly relevant:
government support, green financing, green human resource management, knowledge
management, green collaboration, and green technology adoption. These findings
contribute to the literature, particularly in developing a roadmap for
strengthening innovation capabilities in traditional food SMEs. Policymakers
and industry practitioners can focus on these six elements, as they will
strengthen the innovation capabilities of SMEs, which in turn will strengthen
their sustainable performance.
