“…Finally, developing green logistics to promote sustainable development of the economic environment. By implementing the concept of green development, nurturing a new modern green logistics industry, and implementing Green Supply Chain Management [51], logistics costs and environmental damage can be reduced [13], thus promoting the entire logistics industry chain and the formation of green industry. Therefore, the development of green logistics is beneficial to optimize the industrial structure and promote the healthy development of regional economy, which is of great significance to improve the coupling and coordination among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment [52].…”

With the rapid development of economy, the scale of the logistics industry is also expanding rapidly, which brings great convenience to economy and trade, and becomes one of the pillar industries of national economy. However, with the development of economy and logistics, the problem of ecological environment is becoming more and more prominent. Through the design of economic development, logistics development, and the ecological environment index system, the economic development, logistics development and eco-environment development level of 30 provinces and cities in China from 2008 to 2017 are analyzed by using the entropy method and coupling coordination degree model, and the spatial characteristics of regional economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment are analyzed by using ArcGIS software. The results show that the coupling coordination of economic development, logistics development and ecological environment in most provinces and cities in China is at the mediate coupling level, and only Shanghai, Anhui, and Fujian in the Eastern region have reached the high-quality coupling level; there are significant temporal and spatial differences in the coupling and coordinated development between economic development, logistics development and ecological environment. The level of coupling coordination in the western region has always been at a low level, while the level of coupling coordination in most of the central and eastern regions is relatively high. There are situations where the level of coupling coordination is not high; the coordinated growth of economic development, logistics development, and ecological environment is mainly driven by economic development and logistics development. However, the level of ecological environment has been lagging behind the level of economic and logistics development. In the future development, it is necessary to give full play to the role of the logistics industry in economic development, weigh the relationship between the development of the logistics industry and ecological environmental protection, actively develop green logistics, and the level of coordinated development among economic development, logistics development and ecological environment.

“…The topic of sustainable supply chains has evoked considerable interest from academics and practitioners. Ghadimi et al (2019) revealed that the call for incorporating sustainability (i. e., economic, social, and environmental pillars) into supply chain operations has increased in recent years, mainly in connection with supply chain management [5]. Cost-effective supply chain management under various market, logistics and production uncertainties is a critical issue for companies in the industry.…”

Management of inventory presents an integral part of logistics and effective inventory management demands inventory optimizing since the stocks of the company bind financial resources and present high costs on stocking and maintenance of inventory. The aim of this contribution is to point out the possibilities of optimization the stocks of the mining company in the process of extracting granodiorite. For optimization of stocks-granodiorite we can use EOQ inventory optimization model is used, which sets the optimal amount of raw material extracted in relation to economic indicators such as storage costs, the cost of securing the extracted material in the quarry, insurance costs and other types of costs. By EOQ optimization model, we found that optimum granodiorite extraction should be 38 tons per hour of granodiorite, which would mean low costs for the company in relation to securing the raw material. This model allows planning interventions in the mining process in terms of cost optimization, which is an important economic indicator for the company. The advantage of this EOQ model is the obtaining of important information about the state of the extracted raw material in the quarry Hradbová as well as on the volume of storage costs of the extracted raw material. Management of stocks raw material and minimization of costs represent economic benefits for the mining company.

“…This shows that sustainable performance is not only required to be successful in the global market, but also essential for survival, conservation of the environment and improving the quality of life of society [8]. For that reason, the sustainable performance of organizations presents an open research problem that is attracting attention from both scholars and practitioners [9][10][11].…”

Scholars have investigated the direct linkage between manager's age and sustainable corporate performance, however, the mixed results and conflicting findings on the nature of the relationship demand further explanation through the missing constructs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation in the manager's age and sustainable performance. This study develops a conceptual link by using a dynamic capabilities approach and upper echelon perspective, indicating that younger managers can adopt a more holistic approach towards sustainable practices which can enhance the environmental, social and economic performance of firms. This implies that the relationship between manager's age and sustainable performance can be explained through sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) which can play a key role in setting organizational direction towards sustainable development and achieving sustainable business performance. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of SEO in the relationship between the manager's age and sustainable performance. This research will help practitioners recognize the importance of minimizing environmental and social problems generating due to organizational production activities. This will lead to profit generation as well as value creation for nature and the local community.
