With the dawn of the new century, product-based companies have undergone a transformative evolution by embracing servitization, integrating services into their traditional product offerings. This phenomenon represents a form of product-service innovation aimed at enhancing competitiveness while fostering economic, social, and environmental sustainability. While substantial research has focused on the economic impact of servitization, its effects on social and environmental aspects, particularly within Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), have received limited attention. This special issue delves into the intricate relationship between product-service innovation and GSCM, exploring four key themes: (i) the role of new technologies in enhancing environmental performance, (ii) the influence of sustainable practices on firm performance, (iii) the synergistic effects of technological innovation, and (iv) the product lifecycle as an integrative element. By examining the interplay between technological advancements, sustainability values, and corporate competitiveness, this editorial presents a conceptual model that highlights the vital role of sustainability in mediating the relationship between technological change and competitiveness. This model also reveals that product-service innovation holds substantial potential for enhancing environmental and financial performance. The work concludes by providing several opportunities for further research endeavors in this promising field.

随着新世纪的到来，基于产品的公司通过拥抱服务化、将服务集成到其传统产品中，经历了变革性的演变。这种现象代表了一种产品服务创新形式，旨在提高竞争力，同时促进经济、社会和环境的可持续性。虽然大量研究集中在服务化的经济影响上，但其对社会和环境方面的影响，特别是在绿色供应链管理 (GSCM) 领域，受到的关注有限。本期特刊深入探讨了产品服务创新与 GSCM 之间的错综复杂关系，探讨了四个关键主题：(i) 新技术在提高环境绩效方面的作用，(ii) 可持续实践对企业绩效的影响，(iii)技术创新的协同效应，以及（iv）产品生命周期作为一个综合要素。通过研究技术进步、可持续发展价值观和企业竞争力之间的相互作用，这篇社论提出了一个概念模型，强调了可持续发展在调解技术变革和竞争力之间关系方面的重要作用。该模型还揭示了产品服务创新在提高环境和财务绩效方面具有巨大潜力。这项工作最后为这一前景广阔的领域的进一步研究工作提供了一些机会。
