The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural relationship between Green Practices (GP), Green Innovation (GI), and Green Performance (GPM). This quantitative study developed a model for the Malaysian automotive industry which incorporates the three variables. A survey through questionnaire was conducted to determine the level of GP implementation, GI as well as GPM measurement. A number of 230 sets of questionnaire were successfully collected from Malaysian automotive companies which yielded a 57.5% response rate. Structural equation modeling technique was used to test the statistical analysis of the data required in the study.
