The statistical population of this research is all the managers of the financial department of Foulad Mobarakeh, 182 people, who were all selected using the census method. The measurement tools of the research were standard questionnaires for the variables of green innovation, financial-environmental performance and disclosure of environmental information (as a moderating variable) whose face and content validity and reliability were confirmed at a confidence level of 0.95. Data analysis was done using Spss26 and Smart Pls3 software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check the normality of the data, and the structural equation method was used to test the hypotheses. The research results showed that green innovation has a significant impact on the company's financial-environmental performance in Mobarakeh steel complex; But disclosure of environmental information does not moderate the relationship between green innovation and financial-environmental performance.
