The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of green product innovation and green process innovation on company's financial, environmental and economic performanc. The mediating role of environmental management accounting on the relationship between product and green process innovation and company performance is also examined. The statistical sample includes 202 companies and the standard questionnaire was used to collect data and the structural equation modeling approach and the PLS method were used to test the hypotheses and the conceptual model of the research. Findings show that green product innovation has a significant impact on the financial, environmental and economic performance of the company, both directly and through environmental management accounting. Green product innovation affects environmental performance in the oil and gas and petrochemical, metal and food industries, as well as economic performance in the metal industry alone. In addition, green process innovation has a significant effect on the financial and economic performance of the company both directly and indirectly through environmental management accounting, but the impact of green process innovation on the environmental performance of the company is only through the accounting variable of environmental management accounting. Green process innovation affects financial performance in oil and gas and petrochemical, metallic and chemical industries and economic performance only in oil and gas and petrochemical industries. In the cellulose industry, neither green product innovation nor green process innovation affects any of the company's operations. Findings show the importance of green innovation and environmental management accounting in improving the company's performance.
