“…Therefore, it faces numerous environmental challenges. Due to the improper disposal of chemicals and toxic metals used in production processes in the textile industry (Zivkovic, Vukadinovic, & Veljkovic, 2018), freshwater resources are polluted, and environmental pollution increases (Periyasamy, Wiener, & Militky 2017). On the other hand, considering the fact that textile products account for 10% of the world's carbon emissions throughout their entire life cycle (Echeverria et al, 2019), it is an important requirement to ensure environmental sustainability in the textile industry (Gbolarumi, Wong, & Olohunde, 2021;Martínez-Martínez et al, 2022).…”

Existing literature has overlooked the mediating role of green absorptive capacity in the correlation between green transformational leadership and green innovation. The present study aimed to explore how Chief Executive Officers’ (CEOs) green transformational leadership impacted green innovation through green absorptive capacity. Data were collected from 258 companies in the textile industry in Turkey by survey method. The data were analyzed with the SmartPLS analysis program. The results clarify that green absorptive capacity has a mediating role in the relationship between green transformational leadership and green innovation and indicate a new way to promote green innovation in organizations.

“…Pulmonary diseases are more common health issue in tile industry which causes absence from work and early retirement from work (Environmental Health & Safety Guidelines, 2013). Occupational environmental health and safety problems in workers are increasing day by day due to the negligence of employers (Zivkovic, Vukadinovic, & Veljkovic, 2018). As employers responsibility to provide good environment and health and safety to workers they are not feeling any responsibility towards the workers' health, they are interested in only their own benefit and to work done (Awan, 2002).…”

Managing market risk under unknown future shocks is a critical issue for policymakers, investors and professional risk managers. These shocks can be external to the firm, like demand conditions or conditions in the market as well as internal shocks like inefficiencies or issues of governance in a business entity. More important is the health of machines and viability of systems that are in place in a firm that might threaten the safety of the workforce, tend to take the organizational management towards expensive litigation and eroding in the future of its brand position. “According to recent estimates released by the International Labor Organization (ILO), each year 2.78 million workers die from occupational accidents and work-related diseases (of which 2.4 million are disease-related) and an additional 374 million workers suffer from non-fatal occupational accidents. It is estimated that lost workdays globally represent almost 4 percent of the world’s GDP” (International Labor Organization (ILO), 2019) Problem statement A large number of firms in Pakistan are noncompliance of governance guideline especially in Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) and therefore the present study will take as SHE as its basis to investigate the future issues in the industrial sector of Pakistan.

The demand for high-strength grade fibers and consumption of viscose fibers shows increasing tendency and growing trends in use of this product. Regenerated cellulose-based fibers of various properties are produced in order to meet all needs using new production technologies developed especially in recent years. One of the key processes in fiber spinning is continuous drying before final winding on spools. The manufacturing methods used for viscose fibers allows production of various types, parameters and specifications of fibers. It is therefore increasingly necessary to implement and standardize a drying concept to stabilize subprocess in a continuous production manufacturing as much as possible within the desired parameters of the final product. These activities and methods embody concepts for production of the highest quality fibers suitable to both producers and users. Currently, the concept of drying viscose fibers in a continuous production process is a problem that affects its final shape and quality properties such as commercial weight, linear density and tensile properties of all products and lengths for staple fibers as well as shrinkage and twisting for yarns of fibers. Due to that, development of technology enabling maximum stabilization of the drying process to achieve long-term sustainable final fiber quality parameters was adopted as a strategic project, including incorporation of efficient solutions for the overall energy intensity of this process in order to reduce the manufacturing carbon footprint by 23.81%. The production of viscose fibers and the project also aims to achieve significant energy savings up to 24 509.9 GJ·year-1.
