“…Under those circumstances, social commitment increases employee morale and commitment to work for the company’s benefit, and according to Vaithyasubramanian et al ( 2020 ), the social and environmental aspects should not be separated. Our findings support the report from Ajibike et al ( 2021 ), where social and environmental sustainability are related.…”

The Mexican maquiladora industry is applying Lean Manufacturing Tools (LMT) in its production lines; however, few studies have investigated its relationship with sustainability (social, economic, and environmental). This paper presents a second-order structural equation model (SEM) relating 8 LMT integrated into three independent latent variables: continuous improvement (Kaizen and Gemba), supporting tools (Andon, visual management, and Poka-yoke), and machinery and equipment (total productive maintenance, overall equipment effectiveness, and Jidoka) that are related to social, economic, and environmental sustainability as dependent variables. The model is validated with information obtained from 249 companies using partial least squares. Findings show that the application of LMT in the Mexican maquiladora industry avoids the generation of waste and reprocessing. Likewise, the improvement of production processes reduces the waste emitted into the environment and reduces energy consumption. Also, when companies have environmental programs, the work environment is safe, and labor relations are improved, increasing morale and the commitment to work for the company, gaining economic and ecological benefits.

“…Concerns about the environment and society lead to the emergence of “sustainable development,” which emphasizes the need to promote sustainability. Sustainable development seeks to minimize the negative impact on the environment and society and encourage communities to innovate environmentally friendly and green consumption (Ab Wahab, 2021; Ajibike et al, 2021).…”

“…According to research, if consumers believe that there is an environmental problem and the problem is related to them, they are more likely to consider ways to help reduce the problem (Dickson, 2000; Wu & Yang, 2018). Consumer beliefs predict behavioral actions related to environmental concerns and have an excellent ability to help predict environmental attitudes (Ajibike et al, 2021; Dickson, 2000; Zsóka et al, 2013).…”

This study aims to extract, model, and rank reference groups on green consumer behavior to achieve environmentally sustainable development. This research was conducted in Iran in four stages. In the first stage, thematic factors were extracted through the research literature. These factors were expressed in 26 factors using expert opinions. A questionnaire containing 26 factors affecting the subject was

“…And some studies examine the relationship between environmental quality and economic development from the different methods. Ajibike et al (2021) take mesomeric effect model into framework of studying the relationship between environmental quality and economic development. Chege and Wang (2020) employ partial least squares regression and correlation models to dig out the linear relations between the two.…”

Since coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first reported on December 2019 in Wuhan, it fast spread to the rest of China, which has turned into a global public health problem later and generated global stock markets to violently shake. We inspect the causal relationships between economic development (ED) and environmental quality (EQ) during the period from January 2019 to May 2020 with the structural break for China and investigate the causal linkages between ED and EQ in subgroup of before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 with a semi-parametric model. The empirical tests show that smoothing structural transforms matter for the linkages of causality between ED and EQ, especially after COVID-19 infection. While the Toda–Yamamoto causality analysis supports unidirectional causality between ED and EQ before the outbreak of COVID-19, under structural shifts by the causality supplies of bidirectional casual linkages after the outbreak of COVID-19. Our results further clarified the proof that the economic activity gives rise to the environmental pollution and energy utilization mainly via the shock of COVID-19 in China. The emphasis on nonlinear causality between economic development and environmental quality may be an opportunity for China’s economic recovery under considering the factor of COVID-19 infection.
