The biggest challenge for an organization was synergizing the level of knowledge and innovation to produce products that environmentally friendly with competitive and qualified in prices and quality. The communities in developed countries started to concern on the surrounding environment through the use of recycled materials and safe for the environment. The integration of knowledge and quality management in carrying out innovations had been implemented by the “Batik Kebon Indah” Association in Bayat, Klaten, Central Java. Batik artisans innovated by using natural dyes to reduce the environmental impact. This study used primary data sources of the members of the “Batik Kebon Indah” Association in Bayat, Klaten, Central Java. The data collection at the early stage was conducted through an independent questionnaire in order to analyze the conditions of the community mapping, specifically related to knowledge transfer, quality management, business innovation and lean environment towards environmental performance. Data analysis was conducted by using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) model. The results of the study showed that the quality management, business innovation and lean environments affected the environmental performance. Meanwhile, the knowledge transfer did not affect the environmental performance.
