The main purpose of the study is to examine the mediating role of green innovation (GI) and the moderating role of stakeholder engagement (SE) in the impact of environmental sustainability practices (ESPs) on green performance (PERF) in the hospitality sector based in Egypt. Data were collected from 236 employees of Egypt's 5-star hotels. The data were analyzed in Smart-PLS.The findings demonstrate that higher levels of environmental sustainability practices (support for host communities (S), waste management (W), and conservation projects (C) and green product innovation (Gpro), as well as green process innovation (Gprc), lead to improved measures of green performance. Therefore, green product innovation and green process innovation partially mediate environmental sustainability practices and green performance linkages. Furthermore, the findings confirm that SE moderates the direct and indirect impact of environmental sustainability practices on hotel green performance, using green innovation as a mediating mechanism.
