Purpose With limited empirical evidence, prior studies have proposed that green practices can be leveraged to enhance carbon neutrality. This study draws on the contingent natural resource-based view (NRBV) theorize and validate how pressure from supply chain (SC) stakeholders could amplify effect of logistics (GLPs) carbon-neutral performance (CNSCP) among firms in developing countries. Specifically, this contends high levels pressures (SCPs) (customers suppliers) influence GLPs CNSCP. Design/methodology/approach An integrated model was tested using survey data gathered 208 managers Ghana. SPSS 23 structural equation modeling were used for analyses. Findings showed all five dimensions (transportation, warehousing, packaging distribution, information sharing sustainable waste management) significantly also found varying interactive effects SCPs link between (green transportation, distribution) CNSCP, such different exert at SCPs. Practical implications offers fresh insights into leverage achieve enhanced benefits form The outcome a comprehensive understanding GLPs-CNSCP while shedding light manage SCP drive through GLPs. Social contributes policymakers enhancing decarbonization global SCs practices. Originality/value To best authors’ knowledge, is first empirically identified demonstrated these uniquely as opposed previous examined one-dimensional perspective. expands borders literature by theorizing validating necessary conditions In essence, novelty present lies integration NRBV stakeholder theories unearth mechanism optimizing GLP-CNSCP relationship, which rare literature.

Food waste reduction and security are the main concerns of agri-food supply chains, as more than thirty-three percent global food production is wasted or lost due to mismanagement. The ongoing challenges, including resource scarcity, climate change, generation, etc., need immediate actions from stakeholders develop resilient chains. Previous studies explored chains their barriers, enablers, etc. Still, there needs be literature on innovations in that can build last long compete post-pandemic scenario. Thus, also required explore chain for sector. current research employed a stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) assess This study pioneer using SWARA application evaluate innovation identify most preferred alternatives. results show ‘Business strategy innovations’ significant bring resiliency followed by ‘Technological innovations.’ provides insights decision makers understand attain resilience help industry survive sustain run.
