“…The findings revealed that the logistics industry acts as a backbone in improving and uplifting the economic growth of countries. In addition, Khan et al (2018) draw a conclusion that poor logistical, trade, and transport-related infrastructure slow down the economic growth. The larger volume of trade openness is a positive sign and a reflection of healthy economic growth.…”

“…In fact, Bozan (2015) confirmed that it is the most feasible to apply renewable energy to control environmental pollution without compromising on economic growth. Khan et al (2018) highlighted that biofuel is cheaper than fossil fuel, and it also maintains environmental resources. Mafakheri and Nasiri (2014) argued that green energy sources have a narrow market so that they cannot be extended/broader without the support of regulatory authority in terms of pro-environmental legislation, subsidies, and tax exemption on renewable energy projects (Khan, Dong, & Yu, 2016).…”

“…They found that all these sectors have a sustained impact on supply chain performance and logistics. Khan et al (2018) conducted empirical research on developed countries in Europe in order to explore the impact of logistics performance on macroeconomic and environmental indicators. The results show that greater performance of logistics spurs the country's economic growth but has a negative effect on environmental sustainability in terms of air pollution, climate change, and global warming.…”

“…Stakeholder theory suggests that firms produce externalities, which can cause stakeholders to put pressure on firms to reduce negative effects, and thus influence on organizational practices (Freeman, 1994;Lange & Bundy, 2018). Burrell, Hewlett, Luce, and Frohman (2006) highlighted that most businesses and logistics operations have harmful effects on our society, resulting in environmental degradation and human diseases including ischaemic heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, cholera, amoebiasis, giardiasis, and hepatitis (Acquaye, Yamoah, & Feng, 2015;Khan et al, 2018;Khan et al, 2019).…”

“…(Khan & Dong, 2017a;Zaman & Shamsuddin, 2017). Khan et al (2018) identified that green logistics operations and manufacturing practices improve air and water quality due to a reduction in carbon emissions and solid waste, which also have positive effects on the whole society. On the basis of the above-cited studies, we have developed the following hypothesis.…”

This panel study investigates the relationship between green logistics indices, economic, environmental, and social factors in the perspective of Asian emerging economies. This study adopted Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) Model and Dynamic OLS (DOLS) Model methods to test the research hypothesis, catering the problem of endogeneity and serial correlation. The results suggest that logistics operations, particularly LPI2 (efficiency of customs clearance processes), LPI4 (quality of logistics services), and LPI5 (trade and transport‐related infrastructure), are positively and significantly correlated with per capita income, manufacturing value added and trade openness, whereas greater logistics operations are negatively associated with social and environmental problems including, climate change, global warming, carbon emissions, and poisoning atmosphere. In addition, human health is badly affected by heavy smog, acid rainfall, and water pollution. The findings further extend and reveal that political instability, natural disaster, and terrorism are also a primary cause of poor economic growth and environmental sustainability with poor trade and logistics infrastructure. There is very limited empirical work presented in the literature using renewable energy and green ideology to solve macro‐level social and environmental problems, and this study will assist the policy makers and researchers to understand the importance of the green concept in improving countries' social, economic, and environmental performance.

Do sustainable supply chain practices mitigate carbon emissions? The role of supplier environmental, social and governance training

Over 75% of a firm's carbon footprint is attributed to logistics activities and transportation related to the acquisition, production, and distribution of materials and goods. Green supply chain management is considered a way to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change concerns. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate whether sustainable supply chain practices reduce carbon emissions and whether supplier environmental, social, and governance (ESG) training further enhances this effect, thereby reinforcing the negative association. We collected data for an international sample of manufacturing firms from Thomson Reuters Eikon for the period between 2002 and 2021 and ran a country–year fixed‐effects regression. To address endogeneity, we also utilized two‐stage least squares regression, propensity score matching, and entropy balancing. Our findings indicate that sustainable supply chain practices alleviate carbon emissions. Furthermore, we found that supplier ESG training strengthens this relationship, leading to even higher reductions in carbon emissions. Specifically, this training reinforces the negative association between sustainable supply chain practices and carbon emissions, resulting in a more pronounced decrease in carbon emissions. These results are robust to alternative proxies, samples, and endogeneity concerns. Our study highlights the importance of policy development and collaborative interorganizational actions among supply chain partners in developing solutions to climate change issues. As supply chain activities generate high levels of emissions and regulatory press is mounting, our findings may help firms take proactive actions for greener supply chain management and avoid regulatory sanctions. Additionally, we found that institutional strength stimulates firms' clean supply chain practices. Therefore, we advise policymakers to develop and implement necessary policies in less developed countries with weak public environmental regulations.

This article aimed to elucidate the mechanism of energy metabolism for copper resistance in adapted Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Initially, during batch cultivation process, ferrous oxidation (Fe2+), bacteria growth, intracellular energy charge status, polyphosphate kinase (PPK) activiy, and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) accumulation were compared between adapted and unadapted strains. Then, in the presence of copper stress, the dynamic changes of polyP levels and exopolyphosphatase (PPX) activity were investigated. Furthermore, accumulation of copper ions inside the cell was determined. Results showed that medium Fe2+ was exhausted at 72 h and 96 h in batch culture adapted and unadapted A. ferrooxidans and a relatively higher total protein level, energy charge, PPK activiy, and polyP content was observed in adapted strain. As subjected to 50 mmol/L copper ion stress, intracellular polyP decreased to the lowest level at 8 h and 14 h after shift‐time and corresponding PPK activiy increased to 443 and 276 U/mg protein, respectivly, in adapted and unadapted A. ferrooxidans, indicating much energy was released from polyP degradation. As a result, intracellular copper ion was kept at a very lowered level in adatped strain. It was suggested that an efficeint energy supply system existed that contributes to transporting intracelualr copper ion out of cell during active process in adapted A. ferrooxidans. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13054, 2019
