Recently, interest in environmental sustainability has been growing in the business world since it is considered a strategic priority to gain competitive advantage. In addition, there are said to be corresponding risks of choosing to operate unsustainably. It is clear, however, that manufacturing impacts the environment; this is true on a global basis. More than mining, oil and gas, agriculture, or other such activities, manufacturing is accountable for more than 50% of solid waste produced all over the world (Hill, 2004). Manufacturing companies are also responsible for 20.2% of water removal from land; clearly, there are many environmental dangers due to manufacturing (Gavronski, 2012; Shiklomanov, 1999).Therefore, this research mainly focuses on manufacturing firms and how to manage environmental sustainability (greening) throughout, while also developing green training and green supplier development programs for sustainable competitive advantage. The main objective of this research is to investigate the relationships between the strategic choice of a firm based on their green orientation and relational orientation, green training, green supplier development, and sustainable business advantages, including green innovation improvement and gaining a sustainable competitive advantage. Specifically, the study explore the relationships between green orientation, relational orientation with supplier, and green training in a manufacturing firm context. Also, the study explore the relationship of internal green training to green supplier development, green innovation, and competitive advantage improvement in a manufacturing firm context. Moreover, the study explore the relationship of green supplier development to green innovation and competitive advantage improvement of a manufacturing firm. Lastly, the study explore the relationship between green innovation improvement and a manufacturing firm's competitive advantage.All data collected and analyzed at the firm level. A range of United States-based manufacturing firms that operate in various industries were used for the purposes of data collection. The sample of survey respondents was selected from the senior-level representatives of such firms (operations managers, supply chain/purchasing managers, and VPs, as well as CEOs). This study examined 201 respondents from US manufacturing firms and examined the proposed model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The original SEM model showed that 8 out of 9 hypotheses were supported. The empirical results identified that a firm's green orientation positively associate to a firm's green training and green supplier development programs. In addition, it shows that a firm's relational orientation with supplier influences green supplier development programs. Green training and green supplier development is significantly related to green innovation. Also, green supplier development is significant associate to a firm's competitive advantages. There are two-revised models that tested. First path model was for the green supplier development and removed green training. All the hypotheses in this model were supported. The second model was for green training and remove green supplier development. Removal of the green supplier development path changed the statistical significance of green training to competitive advantage from non-significant to significant. The best fitting model was the one where green training was removed from the model.
