ABSTRACT Environmental sustainability has gained more scholarly attention because of the dangers of business and human activities to the natural environment. To mitigate the environmental problems, scholars have advocated for the deliberate development of the green intellectual capital of firms. Drawing on the natural resource‐based view (NRBV) theory, the study examined the impact of green intellectual capital (GIC) on environmental performance (ENVP) mediated by green creativity (GC), moderated by green transformational leadership (GTL) and environmental regulations (ENREGs). A survey of 264 managers and owners in Ghana's transport and logistics sector was analysed using PROCESS macro. The findings demonstrated that GC mediates the relationship between GIC and ENVP. Furthermore, the effect of GIC on ENVP via GC depends on GTL and ENREG. These findings advance theoretical understanding of GIC mechanisms and provide practical guidance for environmentally responsible leadership in emerging economies.
