This paper presents a research model to examine the factors influencing the sustainable transition developed and implemented in green supply chains. In this study, we examine how attitude toward green innovation affects sustainable transition for green supply chains, and how this association is affected by green knowledge management. Data are collected from 318 manufacturing firms that are among the leading 2500 Taiwanese manufacturing firms listed on the China Credit Information Service Center. Our results show that green innovation was found to be positively associated with sustainable transition. In addition, green knowledge management is positively associated with the interaction between green innovation and sustainable transition in green supply chains.
