Abstract Based upon the quintuple helix model (QHM), this study explores whether differences in firms' emission reduction effectiveness can be attributed to five institutional helices related educational system, economic development, political–legal cultural orientation, and natural capital. Using a set of listed European firms for 2015–2020 period, we show that with better operate nations more public expenditure scientific production, extensive governance quality. Moreover, strategies are pronounced located countries characterized by less masculinity, individualism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, long‐term orientation indulgence. In addition, find companies found capital, life harmony nature employing finite resources available sustainable environmentally conscious manner. two‐stage identify most relevant helix, system is pivotal promoting commitment reducing environmental emissions.

Abstract Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in the economies of developing countries. The circular economy (CE) is considered a long‐term initiative for protecting environment by reducing waste greenhouse gas emissions, recycling ending planned obsolescence. This research aims to explore antecedents CE capability context Indian MSMEs. current study used extended theory behaviour institutional measure capabilities. Seven hypotheses are developed this study. survey‐based carried out with 296 responses from MSMEs different sectors India. Hypothesis testing done using structural equation modelling approach. Major constructs identified green economic incentives (GEIs), social pressure (SP) attitude. These have significant association Environmental commitment (EC) sustainable supply chain design (SSCD) act as mediators. Insights will help top management understand capability. findings show that SP GEIs positively associated EC SSCD. It found SSCD complimentary mediation role. provide solid foundation understanding importance strategic plans facilitate implementing these sized firms.

Basic materials such as steel, cement, aluminium, and (petro)chemicals are the building blocks of industrialised societies. However, their production is extremely energy emission intensive, these industries need to decarbonise emissions over next decades keep global warming at least below 2 °C. Low-emission industrial-scale processes not commercially available for any basic require policy support ensure large-scale diffusion upcoming decades. The novel transition industry decarbonisation (TRANSid) model analyses framework conditions that enable investment decisions in climate-friendly material options.
