Following recent recognition of the role of traditional and Indigenous knowledge in achieving sustainable development, this research investigates the effect of Indigenous leadership on the sustainability performance of businesses. Drawing upon stakeholder theory and upper-echelon perspective, we hypothesize that indigenous ownership positively influences the sustainability performance of businesses. We surveyed 159 indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses in the Greater Waikato and Auckland regions of New Zealand. Our analysis shows that businesses lead by indigenously owned businesses have better sustainability performance compared to non-Indigenously owned businesses. However, the findings are not linear and we observed heterogeneity in the sustainability performance of based on other firm-level attributes. The policy implication of our findings is that decision-makers can simultaneously achieve the financial goal and sustainability goals of indigenously and non-Indigenously owned businesses. This research extends our understanding of the sustainability performance of businesses, contributes to improving the sustainability performance of businesses, and suggests ways to achieve the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
