“…An organization's EP assessment, mainly its improvement (Choudhary et al, 2019), has been increasingly driven by the increased pressure derived from climate changes, depletion of natural resources, population increase and stricter government regulations (Choudhary et al, 2019; Hojnik et al, 2021), regarding the management of hazardous waste and carbon emissions (Choudhary et al, 2019; Samar Ali et al, 2019). This variable measures the commitment of organizations to the implementation of green initiatives, since EP can be defined as the degree to which organizations achieve the environmental claims of their stakeholders (Schultze & Trommer, 2012).…”

This research assesses the lean and green (LG) practices' impact on the competitive advantage (CA) of organizations, through sustainable performance, considering lean maturity as the moderator. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a cross-sectional sample of 261 companies operating in Portugal. Hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis to examine the lean maturity moderating role. Results demonstrate a positive impact of LG practices on sustainable development and that their three dimensions of CA, with lean maturity boosting most relationships. This research highlights the impact of LG practices on organization's competitiveness and helps them underpin the importance these practices when comes to enhance their sustainable performance and their CA with help of environmental policy and also stakeholder engagement. Future studies should address these relationships upon a specific dimension, namely the correlation between environmental performance and CA, as it was not dealt in this study.

“…The integrated management of health and safety at work may contribute to the development of the social dimension from the implementation of technologies that promote the well-being and health of employees (company A) and customers (company G). Finally, the creation of idea management programs is recommended so that employees from different levels and areas can identify opportunities for continuous improvement and sharing of best practices between CS and IMS (Droege et al, 2021;Hojnik et al, 2021;Isaksson & Steimle, 2009;Luo et al, 2015;Marques et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2020;Yülek & Santos, 2022). structures, and routines of CS (Asif et al, 2009).…”

The balanced development and management of sustainability demands the alignment of Corporate Sustainability (CS) strategy with management systems so that sustainability can be effectively inserted into all organizational levels and thus promote stakeholder engagement. Therefore, to support the development of CS, the structure, processes, indicators, and instructions of Integrated Management System (IMS) can be used. This study aims to propose guidelines for the alignment of CS and IMS, based on the cross analysis of seven case studies. This objective was achieved through the identification of elements that can positively or negatively impact the alignment of CS with the IMS, which served as the basis for proposing the guidelines to build a bridge for CS development from the IMS. This work brought as a scientific contribution the upgrade of the block of knowledge on the contributions between IMS and CS, bringing some validation of knowledge from scientific articles in the real context of industrial companies, and additions and refinements to the state of the art on the subject. In addition, the applied contribution of the results stands out, which will provide managers with a framework to intervene in organizations with structural modifications that will make them greener, socially appropriate and more profitable, thus promoting the achievement of the global goals of sustainable development proposed in Agenda 2030.

“…Additionally, it should be noted that there is a lack of research focused on the promotion of socially responsible consumer activity in Lithuania, and most of it focuses on the impact of individual elements on the decision of consumers to become involved in such activities [48,49] and the role of the state and market participants in performing socially responsible activities with the objective of persuing sustainable development [50,51].…”

Being close to consumers, retail chains have a considerable influence on the formation of social responsibility in society. By applying various means of encouragement, these entities try to draw the attention of consumers to problems in the society and encourage them to contribute to socially responsible activities. The aim of this research was to evaluate whether the means of promoting social responsibility applied in the biggest retail chains of Lithuania selling alimentary products have an influence on a consumer and encourage them to contribute to the promotion of the idea of social responsibility. Analyses of scientific literature, qualitative approaches based on 482 in-depth interviews, analyses of data obtained during the survey, mathematical–statistical analyses and comparative analyses were applied in this research. This article represents the results of the obtained research and emphasizes the main factors promoting and limiting the social responsibility of consumers. It was identified that the social responsibility of consumers in the field of environmental protection is formed by information provided by business entities, company images and other people surrounding the consumer. Social responsibility in the field of charity and support was influenced by information provided by business entities and other people’s opinions. Furthermore, the article concludes with the development of models showing which elements business entities should orient towards in order to promote the social responsibility of consumers in the field of environmental protection or charity and support. The compiled model can be used by all business subjects acting in the retail trade and trying to encourage users to become involved in socially responsible activities.
