Abstract This study investigates the digitalization capabilities and the moderating effect of green open innovation (GOI) that firms need to achieve triple bottom line (TBL) performance in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This study explores the structure of business ecosystems that firms need to achieve sustainable performance and investigates open innovations that can be promoted based on them. The data used in the analysis was collected from 474 manufacturing firms pursuing partnerships among ecosystem participants to promote Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the BRI. The moderating regression analysis is used in this study. We found that digitization capabilities (DCs) have a significant effect on a firm's TBL performance. In addition, it was confirmed that GOI has a positive moderating effect on digitalization capabilities and a firm's economic performance. Based on these results, we also believe our model contributes to the current knowledge by filling several research gaps, and our findings offer valuable and practical implications not only for achieving sustainable growth but also for the creation of competitive advantage.
