This research aims to explore the alignment between marketing innovation and sustainable business goals within the context of PT Astra Otoparts Tbk, a leading Indonesian automotive component manufacturer.

These innovations contribute to reducing environmental impact, improving stakeholder engagement, and enhancing brand equity. Furthermore, the study highlights the role of organizational culture and leadership in fostering a sustainable innovation mindset. The research contributes to the growing literature on sustainable marketing by offering practical insights into how corporations in emerging markets align innovation with sustainability. It also provides recommendations for policy makers and industry leaders to foster innovation ecosystems that support sustainable development.
