“…Also, the success of QMS is subject to extensive knowledge and monitoring of organizational resources, constraints, production capabilities, and processes (Kitazawa and Sarkis, 2000; Falk, 2002). Also, the plan-do-check-act approach in QMS helps firms minimize defects-based wastes, reduce energy and material consumption, and lower carbon emissions (Kamenders et al, 2017; Giampieri et al, 2019). As such, QMS could be instrumental in the adoption of market-based carbon actions, but there is no a priori reason to expect that QMS directly influence firms’ engagement in nonmarket environment and support for mandatory climate policy.…”

Firms with well-formulated competitive market strategies could still fail due to their lack of effective nonmarket strategy. Climate change poses significant threats to firms and presents firms’ need to develop nonmarket strategy integrated with market strategy. Relying on the unique dataset of US S&P 500 firms’ responses to climate change, this study seeks to ask why some firms attempt to engage in climate policy making, while others do not do so. The results found that firms with organizational resources and capabilities underlying their carbon market strategy are more likely to support mandatory climate policy. It sheds light on the significance of integrated market and nonmarket strategies, particularly when business opportunities are controlled more by governments than by markets.

“…Many studies concerning the sustainability of paints are associated with the automotive industry, because the painting process has a significant environmental impact in this kind of manufacturing (Giampieri et al, 2019). Particularly, the painting process generates dangerous paint sludge.…”

“…Kannan et al [11] identified challenges in adopting carbon regulatory environmental policies in the manufacturing industry of China. Only one study was conducted in the automotive sector related to challenges in adopting low-carbon manufacturing, and it was in the UK [12]. However, LCM-based studies in China are scarce and especially there is no study emphasizing the adoption of LCM in green tech projects in the Chinese automotive sector.…”

In addressing the issue of climate change, the Chinese government has established a definitive objective to attain its peak carbon emissions by 2030 and strive for carbon neutrality by 2060. This effort aims to progressively achieve a state of net-zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In the given scenario, this research examines challenges in promoting low-carbon manufacturing (LCM) within the Chinese automotive sector, specifically in the context of Green Tech projects. In view of greater emphasis on environmental sustainability and technological innovation, this study aims to uncover challenges restraining the adoption of LCM in one of the world’s largest automotive markets, China. A three-step methodology was adopted by incorporating a literature review, the Delphi method, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), and MICMAC analysis. In the first stage, relevant articles were selected scientifically to identify the main challenges in previous studies by following the relevant keyword criteria. Further, challenges identified from the comprehensive literature review were screened through the Delphi method, and finally, challenges were modeled and clustered through ISM and MICMAC analysis. Data collected from the experts highlight that “difficulties in the transition towards energy efficient technologies”, “insufficient operational efficiency”, and “information imbalances and asymmetry” were the most critical challenges that hinder LCM initiatives in the automotive industry. This research serves as a valuable resource for academia, industry professionals, and policymakers in the quest to adopt LCM in the dynamic context of the Chinese automotive sector.
