“…However, it is noteworthy that developed countries have placed too much emphasis on the role of technological innovation in innovation development and pollution reduction, while neglecting the importance of social and policy innovation (Barykin et al, 2022). Moreover, developed countries have tended to rely too heavily on market mechanisms and have lacked government and social involvement in pollution control (Kvasničková Stanislavská et al, 2023). Studies have found that the dominant role of governments in environmental governance is more pronounced in developing countries than in developed ones, and this government-led environmental governance model can better guarantee the implementation of environmental policies, resulting in more effective improvement of environmental quality (Spilker, 2012;.…”

The implementation of innovative provinces as a pivotal pilot measure to promote the in‐depth advancement of ecology in China is a critical undertaking. An accurate assessment of the environmental effects of these innovative provinces is necessary to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of pilot policies and facilitate the promotion of future policies with precision. In this study, the difference‐in‐differences method and the mediation model are employed to analyze the effect and mechanism of the pilot policies for innovative provinces on regional environmental pollution in 30 provinces in China from 2008-2020. The results demonstrate that the innovation provincial policies have resulted in an average reduction of 14.6% in environmental pollution annually in the pilot areas. This conclusion is still valid after robustness tests are eliminated. Furthermore, the mediation effect model provides evidence that the innovation provinces pilot policy reduces environmental pollution through technological innovation and industrial structure upgrading. Additionally, the heterogeneity analysis finds that innovation provinces pilot policy have led to a reduction of 17.4% in environmental pollution in coastal regions and a reduction of 11.7% in inland regions annually. Overall, this research contributes to the existing literature by underscoring the importance of innovation‐driven development for environmental governance and effectively promoting the construction of a resource‐saving and environment‐friendly society.

While the world is grappling with economic uncertainty, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been extensively studied with a focus on favorable economic conditions. This study aims to investigate and prioritize the drivers for CSR in large‐sized construction organizations during economic uncertainty. Based on the literature review and discussions with experienced professionals, 13 critical drivers for CSR were identified and categorized into four clusters. Using the combination of fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory and fuzzy Analytic Network Process (DANP), drivers for CSR performance during economic uncertainty were ranked regarding their interrelationships. Among 13 drivers, the results illustrated that enhancing company reputation was the most critical driver for CSR, followed by long‐term economic benefit, employee commitment and loyalty, and credibility gain. This study expands the current understanding of CSR practices in the construction industry, shedding light on its unique characteristics during economic uncertainty.

Next to the oil industry, the apparel industries are strongly criticized for their negative impact on the ecosystem. Due to the current global trend, manufacturing industries are expected to consider sustainability issues beyond conventional business goals. In this regard, the study investigates the Ethiopian apparel and textile manufacturing industries’ sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices. A descriptive research design methodology using a cross‐sectional survey was used. Data were collected through self‐administered questionnaires. A simple random sampling technique to decide sample size and a purposive sampling technique to select respondents were employed. A total of 71 participants provided a valid response. The metrics for the survey were developed from different literature, and structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The results demonstrated that the state of the implementation of SSCM practices by the fashion manufacturing industry in Ethiopia is still in its promising stages. The hypotheses test results showed that SSCM practices positively impact SSCM performance and competitiveness at p values of 0.05, except environmental practices with economic performance. The study provides additional insight into the growing field of literature that examines the relationships among SSCM practices, performance, and competitiveness. The findings offer insight for industrial policymakers to improve sustainability for global competitiveness. The Ethiopian government is making significant efforts to boost the manufacturing sector through the “Let Ethiopia Produce” campaign, and sustainability is among the significant necessities for the global competitiveness of the Ethiopian manufacturing industry.
