Mostly, the product manufacturer and activities related to transportation have a greater influence on the supply chain and the environment. Hence, the green investment in water, biodiversity protection, waste treatment, resources, and climate change alleviation help in enhancing industrial production. Thus, for the enhancement of green growth, the industries must adopt green financing by making investments in ecology, climate change, and carbon reduction. Despite having the greatest growth in green supply chain management, still, the implementations of greening the product and processes have not been seen properly in many industries. A bibliometric analysis was conducted through VOS viewer version 1.6.7. of last twenty years (2001–2021). A total of 2385 articles were retrieved from the Scopus database. The results revealed that China, India, Iran, and Taiwan have a vast collection of articles and have very strong international collaborations. The most cited authors were Sarkis, J., Zhu, Q., and Khan, S.A.R. The results also suggest that green supply chain management research was related to the field of engineering, environmental science, energy sciences, social sciences, and business management. Some new areas are discovered like green innovation, green information technology, green productivity, corporate environmental responsibility, green investments, green credit, and green credit policy. As evidenced from our bibliographic database search, it is observed that integrated work on green supply chain management and green finance is limited, and this makes this research work to be novel. This study is beneficial for credit managers and policymakers. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11356-022-21764-z.

The principal objective of the study is to find out the impact of overconfidence on investor’s investment decisions and to know whether risk perception and religiosity moderately affect the relationship between the overconfidence and investor’s investment decision. Data is collected through a well-structured questionnaire. Systematic sampling is used, and the sample size is 156. Statistical results indicate a significant impact of overconfidence on investor’s investment decisions. For the moderating part of the model, however, there is no empirical evidence of religiosity and risk perception as a moderating effect. Thus, the study depicts that there is an impact of overconfidence on investor’s investment decisions, but there is no moderating impact of religiosity & risk perception. The review is useful for the brokers, investors in making decisions regarding the buying and selling of stocks, and also for entrepreneurs. This study is also exclusive and has greater importance as the role of religiosity and risk perception does not imply together before in the Pakistani stock market. The current research is also constructive for the scholars to further study the impact in a different context with further modified variables.

The modernization of the economic world creates environmental issues around the globe, to improve global problems such as global warming, inequality, climate change, hunger and poverty; it is necessary to improve sustainable performance. Mostly, the product manufacturers have a greater influence on the supply chain and the environment. Before COVID-19, the economy of Pakistan was belligerent but not collapsed; however, COVID-19 created a situation where most of the companies will go bankrupt. Pakistan is considered less developed financially, where extensive growth is predictable in the use of green trade credit demand by firms listed at the Pakistan Stock Exchange. Thus, the study analyzes the conceptual linkages between trade credit demand and sustainable firm performances through green credit by adopting the theory of RBV and also assesses the role and impact of COVID-19; further, suggest some policies to cope with COVID-19 challenges. Secondary literature is being reviewed after searching electronic databases like Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals, Web of Science, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and JSTOR. This study will help policymakers whenever they need to consider green trade credit decisions. Thus, buyers need to be proactive while adopting green trade credit to compete in this sustainable competitive marketplace.
