Abstract

This article aims to deeply explore the theoretical connotation of green innovation in prefabricated construction enterprises and its promoting role in the sustainable development of enterprises. The article first defines the concept of green innovation and clarifies its specific manifestation in prefabricated construction enterprises. Secondly, the article analyzes the characteristics and necessity of green innovation in prefabricated construction enterprises, pointing out that in the current context of increasingly severe global environmental problems and tight resource constraints, green innovation is not only a key means for enterprises to respond to external challenges and enhance competitiveness, but also an inherent requirement for promoting enterprise transformation and upgrading, and achieving sustainable development. Finally, the article summarizes the theoretical significance and practical value of green innovation in prefabricated construction enterprises.
