The growing importance of digital technologies in industrial environments has increased academic and managerial interest in understanding how Internet of Things (IoT) adoption can improve sustainability performance. Industrial firms are under rising pressure to enhance resource efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and support long-term sustainable operations. Despite the expanding relevance of IoT in industrial transformation, limited empirical research has examined its effect on sustainability performance through renewable energy and under the influence of green logistics capability. Grounded in the Resource-Based View, this study investigates the impact of IoT adoption on sustainability performance in the industrial sector, while examining the mediating role of renewable energy and the moderating role of green logistics capability. A quantitative approach was adopted, and data were collected from industrial firms using a structured questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that IoT adoption has a significant positive effect on sustainability performance. Renewable energy was found to mediate this relationship, while green logistics capability strengthened the positive influence of IoT adoption on sustainability performance. The study contributes to the literature by presenting an integrated model that connects digital adoption, renewable energy, green logistics capability, and sustainability performance.
