“…This study reveals how green learning orientation affects sustainable performance via green innovation behavior under the condition of CSR. The stronger the CSR, the greater the positive indirect effect of green learning orientation on sustainable performance via green innovation behavior, which aligns with the points mentioned by Le [52] and Torkkeli and Durst [53]. They suggested that environmental protection is a part of CSR, and CSR reflects organizational members' values and beliefs on environmental protection issues.…”

Manufacturing enterprises have realized that organizational learning is conducive to the development of environmental and economic sustainability. However, prior literature has paid less attention to how green learning orientation affects sustainable performance. Based on organizational learning theory, this article constructs a moderated mediating model of the impact of green learning orientation on sustainable performance, using green innovation behavior as the mediating variable and corporate social responsibility (CSR) as the moderating variable. Through the empirical analysis of 193 valid questionnaires from middle and senior managers in Chinese manufacturing enterprises, the results show that green learning orientation positively affects green innovation behavior and sustainable performance, green innovation behavior plays a partial mediating role between green learning orientation and sustainable performance, the relationship between green learning orientation and green innovation behavior depends on CSR, and the mediating effect of green innovation behavior is moderated by CSR. The results provide a theoretical basis and practical implications for promoting green learning and improving sustainable performance of enterprises.

The increasing emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility and its potential impact on stakeholder’s satisfaction and financial performance have driven the need for this research. This study examined the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (csr) practices among listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was employed. The population of the study comprised of the 15 deposit money banks in Nigeria listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) as at 31st December,2022, which formed the sample size using census sampling method. Data were obtained from the annual audited financial reports of the banks from the period 2011 to 2022. Data were analysed using the Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) regression method. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between transparency measured by the transparency index and CSR practices, a significant positive relationship between environmental sustainability measured by the Dow jones sustainability indices and CSR, and stakeholders’ engagement measured by stakeholder’s feedback score has a positive but insignificant relationship with CSR practices. The study concluded that adherence to corporate governance codes, especially in areas of environmental sustainability and transparency, enhances csr practices. It recommended that Deposit money banks should pay keen attention to corporate governance practices, especially in environmental sustainability. Regulators are also advised to entrench stakeholders’ engagement committees in corporate governance codes to foster better stakeholder engagement.

Little is known about SMEs’ perceptions of CSR, sustainability, and business ethics, particularly in the fashion industry. We have even less information on the relationship between SMEs’ CSR actions and employer branding. This important knowledge gap is addressed in this study. We intend to focus on how small and medium-sized enterprises that are operating and considered sustainable in the fashion industry interpret the concept of sustainability, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and business ethics, which CSR elements appear in relation to employees, and how they contribute to employer branding. In the course of our qualitative research, we conducted semistructured, in-depth interviews with the owners and managers of 10 European businesses, bearing sustainability in mind. Our results show that the organisational culture and the reputation perceived by a wide range of stakeholders are the most essential elements of employer branding, which promotes employees’ commitment to sustainable fashion enterprises.
