description Considering the state of the art and to our knowledge, there have been no bibliometric studies analyzing the relationship between Green Research and Development (GR&DC) Capacity and Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) to promote green innovative products (GPI) and financial sustainability in manufacturing companies. This study aims at identifying behavioral patterns, scientific trends and future work regarding the association of the proposed topics. To perform the bibliometric analysis, 3,473 records from the Scopus database were collected. The VOSviewer software version 1.6.20 has been used and through it, a significant growth in the literature since 2012, has been observed. The results evidenced that China stands out as the lead country in document production, followed by the United Kingdom and India. 3,365 authors have contributed to knowledge. It is evident that China has the largest number of representing universities. Among the analyzed trends, the authors reveal that, the combination of GR&DC and CER drives the creation of GPI, improving financial sustainability through investments in green development, energy efficiency and emission reduction projects. It was identified that GPI integrates sustainable strategies that generate environmental value, improve organizational performance and strengthen competitiveness. Similarly, CER also plays a key role in improving the sustainability of manufacturing companies, promoting green innovation and financial strategies. Therefore, the results of this study offer scholars an understanding of the trends and critical points on the topics discussed, as well as the recommendations to continue a series of future research lines identified in this work.
