Therefore, in this research the variables knowledge management (KM) and professionalization (PR) toward the adoption of SS and their impact on FP are promoted.Design/methodology/approachData from 120 firms in manufacturing industry in Coahuila, Mexico, were collected, and the study is based on the PLS-SEM technique.FindingsThe results revealed that (1) KM and PR present a positive impact on SS and (2) SS are positively related to FP.Practical implicationsFor manufacturing managers, it is necessary to implement SS that meet the expectations of stakeholders, in addition to training human resources with the ability to achieve the aims of the firm and at the same time take care of the environment. As for corporate policymakers, it is essential that they promote global environmental care strategies based on collaborative business.Originality/valueThis research contributes to literature on business management, mainly to the incorporation of SS that allow boosting the economic aspect, but without neglecting social and environmental part.

En cuanto a los responsables politicos, es esencial que promuevan estrategias globales de cuidado del medio ambiente basadas en la colaboracion empresarial.Originalidad/valor:La investigacion contribuye a la literatura de la gestion empresarial, en la incorporacion de estrategias sostenibles que impulsen el aspecto economico, pero sin descuidar la parte social y ambiental.
