Abstract
This study investigates the influence of green finance and gender diversity on sustainable
performance within Saudi Arabian organizations, reflecting the Kingdom’s increasing
commitment to environmental responsibility and inclusive governance under Vision 2030. Using
a quantitative approach, data were collected from employees across various sectors through a
structured survey measuring environmental practices, social responsibility, strategic thinking
flexibility, long-term sustainability factors, and gender diversity leadership. Descriptive results
revealed consistently high sustainability perceptions, particularly regarding long-term
sustainability planning. Inferential analysis demonstrated that green finance and gender diversity
moderately predict key sustainability dimensions, with R-square values ranging from 0.39 to
0.46, indicating statistically meaningful explanatory power. The findings suggest that green
financial instruments enhance environmental practices and strategic flexibility, while gender
diversity strengthens governance and improves sustainability outcomes. The study concludes that
the integration of green finance and gender inclusive leadership contributes significantly to
organizational sustainability, providing evidence that supports policy directions in Saudi Arabia.
Recommendations are offered for organizations, policymakers, and future researchers to further
strengthen sustainable development through financial innovation and inclusive governance.
