This study explores the effect of Total Quality Management (TQM) on corporate environmental performance (EP), with Green Manufacturing (GM) as a mediating variable, in the context of the ceramic industry in Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative approach with data collection through questionnaires distributed to ceramic companies that meet certain criteria. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationship between variables. The results show that TQM has a significant positive effect on EP, both directly and through GM mediation. GM is proven to strengthen the impact of TQM on environmental performance, with a focus on energy efficiency, waste management, and the use of sustainable raw materials. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating quality management practices and green manufacturing strategies to improve operational sustainability in the ceramic industry. This study provides theoretical contributions by filling the research gap regarding the mediating role of GM in the relationship between TQM and EP, and offers practical recommendations for companies and policy makers to drive the industry's transformation towards sustainability. With increasing market demands and environmental regulations, the results of this study are relevant in supporting the transition towards more environmentally friendly industrial practices.
