“…Regarding H2a, first, age impacts company attitude toward sustainability orientation (Yin et al, 2022), unlike studies that claim the irrelevance of age. Second, the study sheds light on how younger companies are more sensitive to sustainable projects (Nunes et al, 2013).…”

“…As firms age, the benefits of their accumulated knowledge in all key aspects of the business—technology, supply chain, customers relationship, human capital, and financing—are overwhelmed by inflexibility, inertia, rigid rules, routines, and organisational structure, highlighting how age negatively affects the firm's performance (Pervan et al, 2017). Yin et al (2022) find a moderating effect of firm age on the link between sustainability and performance.…”

Few studies probe small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the context of sustainability. Thus, this study examines the sustainability orientation in SMEs and its impact on financial performance, considering the 'ageing effect'. It employs a sample of Italian SMEs operating in the wine sector, using a survey questionnaire to collect qualitative and quantitative data for analysis. Accordingly, although sustainability remains typically unembedded within such SMEs, when it is embedded, a positive correlation with performance is evident. Furthermore, age is a relevant variable that can explain a different sustainability orientation and its impact on financial performance. This research contributes insight into sustainability orientation in SMEs, extending the sustainability, age, and SME performance literature. Managerial implications suggest the need to better emphasise social issues and invest more in skilled human resources and training programmes.

“…The “weak” Porter hypothesis has been verified in China’s Cleaner Production Audit program. It found that environmental regulation has a positive effect on green innovation [ 21 ], which can help improve enterprise performance [ 22 ]. The narrow version stated that flexible ER can stimulate a firm to innovate and promote productivity [ 20 ].…”

Green total factor productivity (GTFP) is an excellent index for green development. The objective of this study was to check whether environmental regulation (ER) can affect GTFP through the mediating role of foreign direct investment (FDI) quantity and quality. Using the super-efficiency Epsilon-based measure (EBM) model and a Malmquist–Luenberger (ML) index, China’s GTFP growth was measured during 1998–2018. On this basis, we adopted a Systematic Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) to analyze the effect of ER on GTFP. The findings show that China’s GTFP declined first and rose again during the sample period. GTFP in the coastland was greater than that in the inland region. ER positively affected China’s GTFP growth. FDI quantity and quality mediated the nexus between ER and GTFP growth in the whole nation. Specifically, this mediation role of FDI quantity and quality was only significant in coastal China. Additionally, financial development can also boost GTFP growth in China. Given the importance of developing a green economy, the government should improve the FDI quality and attract green FDI.

Recently many organization priorities have shifted from increased efficiency and profit maximization to long-term business success. The concepts of green business, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility which were discussed in this article have shared common bridging concepts to bring sustainable business. But the writers were lacking in addressing these common bridging concepts even if more articles were done separately. The main purpose of this study was systematically reviewing the published articles to examine the bridging concepts of green business, business ethics, and corporate social responsibility to the sustainable business success. The review process was conducted with the published articles which were extracted from database of Google scholar, directory of science, Springer, JSTOR, and DOAJ for the period of 2010 to 2021. Totally 46 published articles analyzed and categorized in to eight concepts. The result show that the five bridging concepts: Social responsibility, ethical business consideration, sustainable development, organizational performance, and environmentally friendly or green practice are all negatively impacted by a company’s failure to consider sustainability issues. Firms can achieve long term business success if they can incorporate these five bridging concepts in their sustainable business strategy. Finally the writers conclude the study by forwarding future line research.
