%X The present research seeks to examine how organizational sustainability is affected within the framework of Industry 4.0 in Pakistan’s textile sector. This investigation combines the transformational leadership model with Industry 4.0 concepts to address disparities in sustainability practices. As digitalization, intelligent production, and rapid technological progress continue to reshape business operations, innovation has gained importance as a critical driver of performance enhancement. The study explores how transformational leadership and innovative performance contribute to organizational sustainability, especially under Industry 4.0 settings. A quantitative method was applied, gathering data through questionnaires from ISO-certified textile companies in Pakistan. The dataset was analyzed using Smart-PLS with a two-stage measurement and structural model assessment. The findings reveal that Industry 4.0 significantly moderates all observed relationships. Within the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, transformational leadership distinctly strengthens both innovation outcomes and organizational sustainability. The analysis further confirms that innovative performance more effectively supports sustainability when integrated with Industry 4.0 technologies. Additionally, mediation hypotheses were statistically supported. The results underscore the importance of adopting strategies to address sustainability concerns while integrating smart manufacturing practices to achieve operational innovation. The study provides a practical roadmap for Pakistan’s textile sector to enhance productivity and efficiency. Moreover, the proposed framework contributes to future empirical exploration and guides other manufacturing industries in blending traditional management styles with advanced technological systems to maintain sustainable growth.
