“…Accordingly, the extant research has explored the effects and outcomes of social responsibility in different businesses (Chuah et al, 2020; Farrington et al, 2017; Kim, Rhou, et al, 2017; Su et al, 2017; Su & Swanson, 2019; Theodoulidis et al, 2017; Youn et al, 2018). However, most of these studies examine the effects of CSR on firm financial performance (Khavarinezhad et al, 2022; Kim, Rhou, et al, 2017; Lee et al, 2018; Theodoulidis et al, 2017); customer loyalty (Chuah et al, 2020; Kim et al, 2013; Xu, 2014); innovation (Martos‐Pedrero et al, 2022); and customer behavioural intent (Lichtenstein et al, 2004; Martínez & Rodríguez del Bosque, 2013; Sen et al, 2006). Therefore, many researchers have suggested that more attention should be paid to the potential positive effects of CSR actions (Chuah et al, 2020; Farrington et al, 2017; Sabokro et al, 2021; Su et al, 2017).…”

Literature in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has mainly focused on customers, particularly on their loyalty, behavioural intent and satisfaction. That is, the effectiveness of CSR dimensions has been less considered by scholars. Hence, this research strives to explore the effect of CSR dimensions on the green behaviour among employees of food businesses in Iran. In this vein, the mediating role of green trust and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between the CSR dimensions and the green behaviour of employees have been investigated. The samples of this research included 415 employees of food businesses and companies in Iran. The findings reveal that the CSR dimensions (economic CSR, ethical CSR and philanthropic CSR) directly and indirectly-through the mediating variable of green trustplayed an important role in shaping the green behaviour of employees. In this study, the direct and indirect effects of legal CSR on green behaviour among employees were not confirmed. Furthermore, the results represent that the gender variable moderates the effect of the CSR dimensions on the green behaviour of employees, highlighting that economic CSR and ethical CSR played a prominent role in shaping the green behaviour of respectively males and females. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications of the research discussed the impact of green behaviour on producing environmentally friendly products in order to sustainable development in the food business.environmental policy, gender analysis, green trust, sustainable behaviour | INTRODUCTIONResearch highlights that food businesses are a major reason for environmental pollution, reflecting that the industry complies with minimum environmental regulations (Rahim & Raman, 2015). Nowadays, due to the rapid growth of demand for food, companies in this industry must take action to diversify and increase the production of their products (Junsheng et al., 2020). Therefore, consuming high amounts of energy, also lead to the production and emission of large amounts of CO 2 gas (Karakaya & Özilgen, 2011). The industry also pollutes water and produces large amounts of solid waste, mostly in the form of packaging, by-products, and household waste that are left in the environment (Rahim & Raman, 2015). To solve this problem, food companies must take action to implement environmental management systems and apply approaches to respond to the adverse environmental impacts of food production (Jafari-Sadeghi, Sukumar, &

“…The application of the incentive system mitigated the partial rise in production costs (Figure 4b). The use of subsidized photovoltaic energy resulted in a partial decrease in production costs of 6.0%, which could be amplified by the increase in energy prices due to the political instability in Eastern Europe and the Honoré et al, 2019;Martos-Pedrero et al, 2022) and in other sectors, such as energy (Balcilar et al, 2022).…”

Impact of environmental policies on the profitability of greenhouse agriculture in southeastern Spain

Sustainable development has become an essential criterion for structural policies of the European Union, and these policies have extended its environmental dimensions. The EU has decided that circular economy will be framed within the principles of sustainable development. Thus, the changes brought forth will affect activities like agriculture, where environmental policy can undermine the stability of agricultural systems by reducing their profitability. The objective of this study was to evaluate how the implementation of these techniques impacted the southeastern peninsula of Spain, a farming region that supports the sovereignty and food security of the European Union in terms of fruit and vegetable products. The production techniques evaluated can increase production costs by up to 5.5%, although there are no significant differences in crop profitability. It is necessary to guarantee that all producers can access the incentive system to reduce their economic pressure, due in many cases to financial losses. In this regard, it is necessary to establish a specific green architecture for this subsector that factors in the effects of inflation to balance the triple aspect of sustainability.

“…For example, Charoensukmongkol (2020) considered the managerial satisfaction from export activities to measure EP. To be more comprehensive, some of the studies considered both objective measures to evaluate EP (Martos-Pedrero et al , 2022; Ngo-Thi-Ngoc and Nguyen-Viet, 2021). For example, Ngo-Thi-Ngoc and Nguyen-Viet (2021) considered sales growth; meeting expectations, export profitability and export market share to measure EP.…”

“…For example, Ngo-Thi-Ngoc and Nguyen-Viet (2021) considered sales growth; meeting expectations, export profitability and export market share to measure EP. Martos-Pedrero et al (2022) also evaluated EP by considering the achievement of export objectives including sales, profitability, and market share; the export intensity (the percentage exports represent over total sales); and the extent of satisfaction of the managers with the outcome of its export activity. Accordingly, the current study also counts both subjective and objective measures to evaluate EP considering two variables of sales growth and manager satisfaction with export as suggested by Navarro-García et al (2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore empirically how the two kinds of strategic orientations including export market orientation (EMO) and technology orientation (TO) predict innovation performance (IP) and export performance (EP), by investigating the mediation effect of IP and the moderation effect of external network (EN). Design/methodology/approach The statistical population of this research is the food and agricultural products exporting firms which participated in the 26th International Agrofood Exhibition in Tehran, Iran. The sample of 296 managers filled out questionnaires using systematic random sampling methods. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings Results demonstrate that the increase of EMO and IP is related to a rise in EP. Furthermore, the research finds that IP is a partial mediator in the link between EMO and EP. Finally, the moderation impact of the external networks in an association between TO and IP is supported by the data. Originality/value This study is one of the limited number of studies to consider the mediation impact of innovation performance in the relationship between EMO and EP, and it is actually the first study, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, to investigate the moderating impact of EN in the relationship between TO and IP in the context of one developing country.
