“…This finding confirms the extant literature that manufacturing and heavy-industry companies have yet to bridge the moral and practical dimensions of environmental sustainability (D. B. Hoang & Do, 2016;Q. A. Nguyen & Hens, 2015).…”

This research was conducted in Vietnam in 2019 to support the establishment in 2018 of the Vietnam Business for Environment (VB4E) Platform by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Vietnam. The case of Vietnam is then used to bring attention to how businesses in a developing country are dealing with environmental problems and engaging in both ecological conservation and social responsibilities. A structured dataset on selected keywords and news sources was built to systematically track all major environment-related events in Vietnam. The findings, which were extracted from 344 news reports and 75 environmental events, highlight the lack of engagement on Vietnamese businesses in sustainability initiatives, with existing corporate activities still driven by practical concerns, i.e., profitability. Notably, a minimum of one governmental agency was involved in 86% of the events categorized as environmentally damaging. This result hints at a systemic problem of government-business collusion in bypassing environmental guidelines.

“…This study is focused on LCSCM, which is an emerging issue under GSCM. Though the impact of GHG emissions has led to the integration of emissions-related issues in supply chain management (Hoang Duc and Do Ba, 2017), there are very few empirical investigations on LCSCM (Böttcher and Müller, 2015;Nishitani et al, 2016;Chen, 2017). Thus, there is a need for an empirical investigation on LCSCM.…”

“…Climate change has triggered businesses to adopt many strategies including setting targets for the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, developing new products, participation in carbon trading and exploiting renewable energy sources Pinkse, 2004, 2008;Hoang Duc and Do Ba, 2017). The increasing concentration of anthropogenic GHG is one of the main reasons for climate change (IPCC, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relationships between low carbon supply chain practices and their relationships with environmental sustainability (ES) and the economic performances (EP) of firms. The study also includes an examination of the low carbon supply chain practices that are utilized by Indian manufacturing firms. Design/methodology/approach Through a questionnaire-based survey, the data received from 83 Indian manufacturing firms was analyzed using a variance-based structural equation modeling technique to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings The study indicates that carbon governance is a strategic imperative for the adoption of low carbon supply chain practices. Similarly, low carbon product and process design (LCPPD), manufacturing and logistics lead to improved ES. In addition, low carbon purchasing is positively related to the adoption of LCPPD, manufacturing and logistics. No significant relationship was found between the adoption of low carbon supply chain practices and the EP of a firm. Practical implications The findings of this study may assist manufacturing managers in prioritizing operational practices for the reduction of emissions. Originality/value This study provides two major contributions to green supply chain management. First, it provides comprehensive empirical evidence on low carbon supply chain practices that are being followed by Indian manufacturing firms. Second, this study also empirically validated a structural model of low carbon supply chain practices.

“…Another group of papers explores the use of non-market strategies to gain legitimacy and improve firm performance, through environmental labelling (Wang, Cui, & Liang, 2015), the offering of socially valuable goods and services (Darendeli & Hill, 2016), the development of new entrepreneurial technology (de Lange, 2016), and the use of reporting (Marano, Tashman, & Kostova, 2017) and CSR certifications (Husted, Montiel, & Christmann, 2016). Strategies aimed at tackling child labor (Kolk & Van Tulder, 2004) and reducing greenhouse gas emissions (Duc & Ba, 2017) emerge at the more critical end of the spectrum. These studies are situated alongside other work discussing corporate social irresponsibility and dubious behavior (Fiaschi et al, 2017;Myers, 1999), product recalls due to design flaws (Beamish & Bapuji, 2008), and the impact of gray-market activity on strategic and economic performance (Myers, 1999).…”

This chapter aims at taking stock of business-responsibility-related studies in international business (IB) research. Key features of this literature review include (1) a broad search strategy capturing both positive and negative aspects of responsibility, (2) not imposing any constraints on the time period, and (3) extending the search to all IB journals included in the Web of Science database. By incorporating both responsible and irresponsible behavior in the search strategy, we are able to provide a holistic map of responsibility-related research in IB.
