The global environmental crisis and increasing demands for profitability have compelled companies, particularly in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector, to adopt more efficient and sustainable operational approaches. This study aims to examine the role of green leadership in enhancing production efficiency and environmental performance. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this research synthesizes findings from open-access academic literature published between 2020 and 2025. The results indicate that green leadership, especially in the form of transformational leadership, significantly contributes to the development of green organizational culture, sustainable innovation, and the implementation of efficient lean management practices. The integration of green leadership with environmentally friendly production strategies has proven to improve profitability while reducing negative environmental impacts. This study offers theoretical implications for developing sustainable leadership models and practical recommendations for FMCG companies to align their business strategies with green economy principles.
