“…From the preceding discourse, circular economy is a system that revolves around optimizing resource use and waste by mechanisms of closed-loop and regenerative approaches in the productionconsumption cycle while also ensuring minimum extraction and use of new resources (such as energy, water and materials) and waste generation through eco-efficient and eco-effective production processes and technologies. In contemporary linear economy models where emphasis is placed on the acquisition, usage and discarding of existing materials without thought to reintegrate back used materials into the productionconsumption cycle [34] coupled with the manufacturing of disposable products have created a linear consumption behaviour pattern with consumers as indicated by Agyabeng-Mensah et al [2] and Afum et al [1]. These patterns have contributed to ecological imbalances such as resource scarcity and low rate of resource replenishment [8].…”

Stakeholder roles in the adoption of circular economy concepts and corresponding impacts on firms have been crucial for academics and practitioners. However, substantial research gaps exist in relation to the specific influence of organizational, regulatory and community stakeholder groups on the adoption of circular economy principles and how these affect internal and external stakeholder satisfactions and green legitimacy in the context of an emerging economy. Drawing on the stakeholder and institutional theories, stakeholder pressures, adoption of circular economy principles, stakeholder satisfaction and green legitimacy were explored. Using a quantitative approach, the findings showed that regulatory stakeholders have the most influence on adoption of circular economy principles, followed by organizational and community stakeholders. In particular, adoption of circular economy principles robustly influenced external stakeholder satisfaction and green legitimacy while moderately influencing internal stakeholder satisfaction. These findings serve as a guide for policy making, management decision making and future research.

PurposeThe compounding impacts of climate change has mobilised unstinting endeavours of researchers, ecologists and corporate leaders to explore new ways for the logistics industry to manage environmental problems, improve social outcomes and gain competitive advantage. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediation roles of inbound green logistics practices and outbound green logistics practices between eco-market orientation, green value competitiveness and social sustainability.Design/methodology/approachBy employing explanatory research design, with questionnaire-based survey, data for the study was collected from Ghanaian logistics firms. The data is analysed using the partial least square structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results indicate that eco-market orientation has a significant positive impact on green value competitiveness. However, eco-market orientation was found to have an insignificant impact on social sustainability. The results further confirmed the notion that eco-market orientation substantially strengthens the implementation of inbound green logistics practices and outbound green logistics practices. Specifically, the mediation analysis confirmed that inbound green logistics practices and outbound green logistics practices serve as indirect mechanisms through which eco-market orientation significantly influences green value competitiveness and social sustainability.Originality/valueCompared to previous literature, this is a pioneer study that develops an explanatory research framework under the lenses of the natural resource-based theory, stakeholder theory and resource advantage theory in illuminating how inbound green logistics practices and outbound green logistics practices act as mediation mechanisms between eco-market orientation and green value competitiveness and eco-market orientation and social sustainability.

“…The unsustainable operations of firms are gravitating the Earth towards a tipping point of destruction and irreversible climate change (Heikkurinen, 2018). Globally, firms are experiencing shortage of key resources (Preston and Herron, 2016) due to global warming and climate change that hurt the biodiversity of the Earth (Agyabeng-Mensah et al. , 2021).…”

PurposeThis study explores the role of external pressure, engagement capability (ENC), alliance capability (ACA), environmental sustainability commitment (ESC), and circular supply chain capability in circular economy performance.Design/methodology/approachThrough a cross-sectional survey and data collected from 124 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, this study employs partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model.FindingsThe findings reveal the following; first, external pressure has a significant impact on ESC. Second, ESC positively impacts ACA, ENC and circular supply chain capability. Third, ACA and ENC mediate the relationship between ESC and circular supply chain capability. Finally, circular supply chain capability has a significant impact on circular economy performance.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in testing a novel model that confirms that SMEs respond to external pressure by enhancing ESC as well as develop engagement and alliance capabilities to improve circular supply chain capability to achieve circular economy performance goals.
