“…Also, India does not have legislation on sustainability Supply chain sustainability drivers measurement and disclosures for entire SC such as the Supply Chain Transparency act, Norway or the California Transparency in FMCG SC Act, 2010. Only a few multinational FMCG companies in India or large homegrown food companies that work as sourcing partners of these MNCs, are implementing market-based instruments such as tradable permits and ecolabeling (Coria et al, 2019). Also, the standards and certifications for procurement, logistics and other SC functions of the existing FMCG SC are diverse and challenging to enforce at the ground level due to varied sustainability impacts of the FMCG product categories.…”

Purpose: Sustainability in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) supply chains (SC) is receiving greater than ever attention due to the increasing awareness of sustainability challenges such as climate change and labor rights. A definite solution is to integrate sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices all through the upstream and downstream entities of SC. This study identified and compared the drivers for the implementation of SSCM practices in Indian FMCG sector.Design/methodology/approachA methodology based on Grey-Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), a hybrid multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique and sensitivity analysis was used to envisage the complex causal relationships among the identified SSCM drivers and to identify the critical ones.FindingsThe results showed that regulatory and legislative pressure, competition pressure and innovativeness dominantly drive the implementation of SSCM practices in the upstream and downstream SC of the FMCG sector.Originality/valueThe study examined levers of sustainability in FMCG supply chains in an emerging market with most of the extant research limited to automotive and electronic supply chains.

“…The main research direction of interest for the current study is focused on the efficiency of environment taxes as a market-based instrument used by the governments to achieve pollution reduction goals [9,10]. In 1996, authors Ekins, Andersen and Vos looked at 16 examples of environment taxes in different EU member states with the conclusion that some of these taxes seem to be environmentally efficient in achieving their objectives at a reasonable cost [11].…”

Recently, the European Union has officially announced that its' objective in terms of environmental policy is to achieve climate neutrality, including long-term low greenhouse gas emission, by 2050. In light of this, the current study aims to offer a new and updated perspective on the effectiveness of environmental taxes in reducing air pollution in the European Union. Firstly, cluster analysis is used to group the member states of the European Union according to characteristics that will make the research results more robust. Secondly, panel data dynamic error correction models were estimated for each cluster to assess the effect of environmental taxes (and other explanatory variables) on emissions of carbon dioxide on the one hand, and greenhouse gases in general on the other hand. The research looks at both short-run and long-run effects on air pollution. The results show a statistically significant negative long-run relationship between environment taxes and atmospheric pollutants emissions. However, this effect would happen with a certain delay and it would be short lived, which makes additional environment policy measures necessary to achieve the 2050 targets.

Poor air quality has been a major urban environmental issue in large high-density cities all over the world, and particularly in Asia, where the multiscale complex of pollution dispersal creates a high-level spatial variability of exposure level. Investigating such multiscale complexity and fine-scale spatial variability is challenging. In this study, we aim to tackle the challenge by focusing on PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm,) which is one of the most concerning air pollutants. We use the widely adopted land use regression (LUR) modeling technique as the fundamental method to integrate air quality data, satellite data, meteorological data, and spatial data from multiple sources. Unlike most LUR and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)-PM2.5 studies, the modeling process was conducted independently at city and neighborhood scales. Correspondingly, predictor variables at the two scales were treated separately. At the city scale, the model developed in the present study obtains better prediction performance in the AOD-PM2.5 relationship when compared with previous studies (R2¯ from 0.72 to 0.80). At the neighborhood scale, point-based building morphological indices and road network centrality metrics were found to be fit-for-purpose indicators of PM2.5 spatial estimation. The resultant PM2.5 map was produced by combining the models from the two scales, which offers a geospatial estimation of small-scale intraurban variability.
