Benchmarking An International Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 1, 2024

Purpose The study attempts to explore the effectiveness of green supply chain strategies (GSCS) and sustainable practices (SP) in achieving a circular (CSC) within business-to-business (B2B) context. further investigates moderating role innovation (GIN) on relationship between GSCS SP. Design/methodology/approach conceptual model was developed by adopting constructs from existing studies. A self-administered tool created, data were gathered (SC) specialists food, energy, tire, textile paper industries. structural equation employed test hypothesis, analyzing 243 responses obtained. Findings findings indicate an affirmative association GSCS, SP achievement CSC, with acting as partial mediator CSC. Results show that are crucial for transitioning toward SC, emphasizing resource regeneration sustainability. our sample suggest GIN significantly moderates These insights underline importance fostering CSCs B2B setting. study’s implications significant SC management, suggesting firms must integrate achieve circularity long-term viability. Originality/value This article brings forward distinctive perspective sustainability field management need implementing CSC

Does Increasing Supply Chain Flexibility Contribute to the Enhancement of a Firm's Sustainability Performance?

IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 71, P. 8606 - 8622

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

The study empirically examines whether increased supply chain (SC) flexibility correlates with improvements in an SC's ability to address a firm's sustainability performance (SP). In addition, we investigate how SC visibility impacts SP by way of enhancing agility the model. plays vital role operations achieve sustainability. However, there is limited understanding effects on SP. explores moderating roles and environmental uncertainty connections between visibility, agility, within research framework. We use Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique validate both measurement structural models. Besides, mediation analysis, moderation analysis multi-group are employed test various results indicate positive significant relationships among organisation's identified this study. Our findings show that increasing could potentially pose challenges. argue cannot always help SP, furthermore, firms high may perform worse than low terms provides valuable insight into sustainable management contingency post-COVID-19 pandemic, especially drawing attention flexibility.

Industry 4.0 and circular economy for bolstering healthcare sector: A comprehensive view on challenges, implementation, and futuristic aspects

Deleted Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 1(2), P. 174 - 198

Published: June 1, 2024

Industry 4.0 technologies are also strengthening the circular economy and healthcare. It is accomplished by implementing methods to reduce waste undertake advanced sustainability initiatives. uses like Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enhance productivity, satisfy customers, generate new business opportunities. may immediately redirect a system, equipment, or worker who deviates from most effective path wasteful emissions. Due limited supply resources increasing demand discover sustainable manufacturing methods, conventional strategy has proven unsuccessful. In order need for resources, in which one sector repurposed as raw material another. brought forth technological advancements that fundamentally more than corporate methods. A lowers production limits exposure dangerous chemicals healthcare industry known The reuse, repair, recycling toxic-free materials products encouraged stop utilizing chemicals, using single-use items troublesome wasteful, take lead developing chains. developments assist lowering waste. Reuse opportunities increased, appropriateness improved, negative mining consequences minimized when pollution levels low. this paper, we have adopted review-based approach accomplish research objectives. This paper discusses its relationship with Studies specific practices Circular Economy philosophy Smart enablers Economy.

Enhancing carbon neutral supply chain performance: can green logistics and pressure from supply chain stakeholders make any differences?

Sustainability Accounting Management and Policy Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(2), P. 521 - 551

Published: Dec. 13, 2024

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.
