“…Examining the role of organisational culture and leadership as a precondition of sustainable development, Baumgartner (2009) emphasises that the role of organisational culture in the sustainable development context has been largely underestimated. Similarly, Ong, Magsi, and Burgess (2019) examine the role of organisational culture in management control systems and environmental performance and highlight that the stable and flexible values of organisational culture influence the effective use of formal and informal environmental management systems. Pennington and More (2016) reveal two distinct cultural perspectivesgeneral cultural dimensions and specific sustainability cultural dimensions, each of which influence organisational sustainability.…”

This paper explores the competing role of organisational culture in organisational change towards sustainability. Drawing on the competing values framework, data was collected by interviewing senior executives and sustainability managers of a leading multinational garment manufacturing organisation based in Sri Lanka. The study finds that organisational culture tends to play a proactive role by going beyond the compliances and regulatory requirements in organisational change towards sustainability. Four competing cultural values appear to shape their corporate sustainability approach, namely (i) people-oriented changes (e.g. empowerment, training, development, team orientation, leadership), (ii) growth-oriented changes (e.g. sustainability innovations, continuous improvements, community engagement), (iii) productivity-and efficiency-oriented changes (e.g. use of professional recommendations, open communication), and (iv) stability-and control-oriented changes (e.g. sustainability budgeting, investment appraisal, life-cycle assessment). The case organisation is more likely to be driven by an integrated approach of the four competing cultural values rather than by one dominant approach. The study contributes to the organisational culture and sustainability literature by highlighting the importance of aligning competing cultural values as a means of addressing sustainability challenges, in the much-debated garment manufacturing industry in the South Asian context. Finally, a framework for sustainability organisational culture is proposed.

“…Various studies have proven that the culture of a company (i.e., involvement, consistency, adaptability, and mission) as proposed by Denison is strongly connected to its effectiveness and performance (Reino, Rõigas, & Müürsepp, 2020;Roscoe, Subramanian, Jabbour, & Chong, 2019;San-Ong, Magsi, & Burgess, 2019). These studies are mostly focused on assessing the impact of all or one of the components of OC.…”

“…There has also been a general consensus in recent literature that the nature of a company's culture (i.e., involvement, mission, consistency, and adaptability) positively influences its OP (Reino et al, 2020;San-Ong et al, 2019). Interestingly, there appears to be a dearth in studies that examine how OC (in terms of adaptability) influences the link between RL and OP.…”

As the supply chain environment is increasingly becoming uncertain and globally competitive, reverse logistics (RL) practices, which constitute a substantial component of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), have been widely recognized as crucial in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. While past studies have proven the positive relationship between properly implemented RL and firm's environmental efficiency and overall competitiveness, developing, maintaining, and integrating RL into the organization's supply chain operations come at a cost and institutional commitment. This study seeks to provide evidence on how RL and organizational culture (OC) provide benefits specifically to the operational performance (OP) of an organization. The study addresses this, first, by an empirical examination of the direct effects of RL practices on firm OP and, then, by further examining whether RL practices' influence on OP is strengthened by OC. The study uses dataset gathered from 213 firms across the service and manufacturing sectors in the Ghanaian economy using a structured questionnaire. The study adopts confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in addition to partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM) in analysing the study's measurement model and in estimating the resultant structural model. The study concludes that implementing RL practices positively influences the OP of the firm, while OC strengthens such influence. This study expands the RL literature by obtaining the results for the conceptual model and dealing with the implication from a developing economy's perspective, hence supplementing the growing body of knowledge.

“…Many practitioners have already proved the strong relationship among the implementation of sustainable practices, an increase in profitability, and improvement in organizational performance (Perotti et al, 2012;Singh et al, 2016;Ansari and Kant, 2017). Several researchers have established the relationship among implementation of green sustainable practices and organizational culture, service quality, and operational performance (Zhu et al, 2008;Bask et al, 2018;Garcia-Dastugue;Eroglu, 2019;Green, 2019;San-Ong et al, 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify sustainability practices and to propose a framework for evaluating the sustainability index of logistics service providers (LSPs).Design/methodology/approachSustainable practices followed by LSPs are identified through literature review and analysis of a case study. Thirteen such sustainable practices are identified. Thereafter, with expert inputs, nine sustainable practices are shortlisted and considered for the evaluation of the sustainability index in the proposed framework. Graph Theory Matrix Approach has been applied to evaluate the sustainability index of an LSP.FindingsMajor practices identified for evaluating sustainability index include the use of recyclable packaging, use of renewable energy sources, green procurement, reduction in carbon emissions, use of CNG/electric vehicles, rainwater harvesting and so on. The sustainability index of an LSP is evaluated by using the proposed framework.Practical implicationsLSPs can benchmark their sustainability index with respect to the best in the industry. Based on it, LSPs can also identify potential areas for improvement.Originality/valueNovelty of the study lies in the proposed framework for evaluation of sustainability index which can be used to develop strategies for green logistics. LSPs can also improve their performance in terms of sustainability measures by adopting green logistics.
