Abstract

Green infrastructures in the management of sustainable development projects today play a key role in mitigating negative environmental impacts. Green innovation as a product of green infrastructure refers to the adoption of innovative practices with the aim of developing environmentally friendly products and processes, increasing the efficiency of resource use and reducing the impact on the environment. Innovative change is more likely in industries that have a significant impact on the environment. In line with this trend, companies operating in industries with negative environmental externalities are more likely to adopt green infrastructures in the management of sustainable development projects. Car manufacturers are considered one of the biggest polluters, both in the production process itself and in their final product. Therefore, the automotive industry has developed a number of green technologies to ensure sustainability and reduce the industry's negative effects on the earth, such as General Motors and Tesla
