“…Yingfei et al (2022) argued that logistic providers must collaborate with diverse business practices and environmental knowledge to improve and deliver value‐added services to clients. According to Yulong Liu et al (2022), technological capabilities, such as Internet‐based technologies, enable collaboration among business partners.…”

“…According to Li et al (2020), environmental pollution and ecological deterioration have cost the economy 7–20% of its overall GDP during the previous 20 years. In 2013, industrial raw materials contaminated half of 197 rivers under observation, and just a tiny portion (less than 5%) of the air quality in the 287 cities surveyed satisfied the environmental standard (Yulong Liu et al, 2022). As a result, the Chinese government has increased pressure on businesses to lessen their negative environmental impact.…”

Green capabilities, green purchasing, and triple bottom line performance: Leading toward environmental sustainability

2022

Despite the vast literature on green purchasing practices and sustainability, the role of an organization's green capabilities in defining green purchasing practices for triple-bottom-line performance has received limited attention. This research intends to empirically evaluate the impact of green capabilities on green purchasing practices to boost the triple-bottom-line performance of manufacturing organizations. We analyzed 386 manufacturing organizations' responses using the covariance-based structural equation modeling approach. The results indicate a positive correlation between green capabilities and purchasing habits; however, green innovation capabilities did not establish a statistically meaningful correlation. Additionally, green buying strategies have significant favorable associations with the triple bottom line of performance. The results contributed to the advancement of the resource-based-view theory by empirically examining the impact of green capabilities and green purchasing practices in influencing the triple-bottom-line performance of manufacturing firms.

“…Local LSPs can also collaborate with extensive business partners who have knowledge sources to provide value-added services to customers in the innovative ecosystem. This system is defined as the evolving set of actors and activities necessary for technological development and innovation (Liu et al, 2022). Considering the circumstance that more LSPs in ASEAN adopt blockchain technology, this situation could present itself as an opportunity to integrate ASEAN's disconnected LSP network.…”

PurposeTechnology is the lifeline for the logistics industry, and it has been immensely disrupted by the emerging blockchain technology. This paper has two main objectives. The first is to explore how the current blockchain technology can be implemented in the logistics industry with the aim of improving logistic services amongst the network of logistics service providers (LSPs). The second is to propose the development of a blockchain model for the small and medium logistics service supply chain.Design/methodology/approachA prototype blockchain-based logistics system has been created and tested in a case study with a real logistics company. The primary technologies for developing a blockchain model on the Hyperledger platform as well as how the system is designed based on the logistics service flow are explained.FindingsThe study has resulted in the successful implementation of the proposed prototype blockchain-based logistics system. In particular, the case company has managed to fully utilise the developed tracking and tracing system. Whilst utilising the prototype, the participants have been able to fulfil their responsibilities in an effective manner. The performance of LSPs has improved following the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) criteria.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to current research in the application of blockchain technologies in the domain of logistics and the supply chain to progress LSPs towards Logistics 4.0. The current frameworks for Logistics 4.0 and how blockchain as a disruptive technology revolutionises logistic services are reviewed. In addition, this paper highlights the benefits of blockchain technology that LSPs can leverage to further improve their performance based on the LPI criteria.

“…Government can also offer tax incentives for adopting sustainable practices and tax credits for energy-efficient upgrades, renewable energy investments, or waste reduction measures (Liu et al, 2023). Additionally, grants or loans can be awarded to support sustainable tourism businesses together with enactment of laws and regulations adhering to sustainability standards, new technology applications, and mandatory reporting of APJML 36,4 environmental performance (Irfan et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis study attempts to fill the research gap by extending sustainability literature and providing empirical evidence that considers sustainability marketing commitment (SMC) as a fundamental attribute of effective marketing strategy that consequently improves tourism service quality, as represented by service attractiveness.Design/methodology/approachIn the current study, data was collected from 313 tourism and hospitality firms. To test the model, this study applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationships among environmental strategy, SMC, supplier trust and service attractiveness in a mediation-moderation setting.FindingsThe results indicate that the multiple mediation effects of environmental strategy may indirectly influence tourist attractiveness through SMC and tourism services. The two-way moderating effects reveal that supplier trust and socialization strengthen the service attractiveness development process, while three-way interaction discovered that socialization and supplier trust positively moderate the relationships between tourism services and service attractiveness.Originality/valueSustainable strategy is a future trend for tourism business management; however, unknown to most is the role of marketing and environmental strategy in tourism business due to lack of integration with concepts in marketing strategy, with the multidimensionality of tourism services, and with the function of trust and socialization, critically undermining analyses of service attractiveness. This paper combines corporate sustainability and sustainability marketing methods to explore how an environmental strategy can improve tourism services and enhance a destination's attractiveness based on a mediation-moderation mechanism.
