<p>The relationship between Green Management Style (GMS) and Environmental Strategy (ES) can be crucial for production companies, influencing their sustainable development. The synergy between ES and GMS can yield significant benefits for business organizations and the natural environment. The aim of this paper is to explore the interconnections between GMS and ES by identifying key factors that drive sustainability in production companies. The study highlights two primary factors: (1) the engagement of organization members and (2) the integrity and complementarity between GMS and ES. The methodology adopted in this article combines a&#xa0;comprehensive literature review with a statistical analysis of survey results from 100 foreign and domestic production companies located in Poland that declared the use of GMS and also implemented ES. The variables for the EFA method were the survey questions. Relations between GMS and ES were examined using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) conducted in Statistica software. In this intentionally selected group, the relations between GMS and ES were examined using the EFA method to mitigate potential bias from expected results. Key statements used in the EFA were presented to ensure the study’s replicability. The relationship between GMS and ES is reflected in three key questionnaire statements within the GMS and ES relationship model. The first underscores employees’ awareness of their companies’ environmental values. The second highlights the significance of rewarding environmental proactivity. The third emphasizes the engagement of all employees in achieving strategic goals. The study reveals that sustainability performance in production companies is shaped by two key dimensions: employee engagement in environmental initiatives and the strategic integrity between GMS and ES. Unlike prior studies that predominantly focus on technical and regulatory aspects of environmental strategies, this research highlights the managerial and behavioral components that drive sustainability. The findings confirm that the effective integration of GMS and ES in production companies requires fostering employee engagement through clearly communicated environmental values and incentive systems that recognize pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, strategic alignment between GMS and ES plays a key role in strengthening an organization’s sustainability efforts. Ensuring that sustainability objectives are deeply embedded in corporate decision-making and operational strategies enhances environmental responsibility while improving business performance. These results suggest that production companies should focus on reinforcing environmental awareness, rewarding proactive behaviors, and structuring management practices to facilitate the alignment between GMS and ES, ultimately contributing to long-term organizational sustainability. The opportunities for business organizations to achieve strategic goals and sustainability lie within these identified relationships between GMS and ES. The EFA results, based on an original research survey among production companies, are augmented by an illustrative statistical model that serves as the authors’ scientific contribution.</p>
