“…Zaid et al (2018) Prior literature tends to support a positive association between GPP and ECOP (Altaf et al, 2020;Pinto, 2020). However, researchers have also found negative/insignificant results in their studies (Çankaya & Sezen, 2019;Jones & Wynn, 2021;Sahoo & Vijayvargy, 2021;Zhu et al, 2017). These mixed findings motivate us to conduct this study lead to the study of the relationship among these variables.…”

Increasing businesses adverse operations and unsustainable practices are causing rise in environmental concerns. The adoption of green capabilities could be a promising step that can ease environmental problems and achieve green ideology in businesses. In the current study, green capabilities and green purchasing practices were critically theorized and a theoretical framework was developed to address the sustainability problems in supply chain. The data were collected from manufacturing firms located in emerging countries and covariance‐based structural equation modeling (CB‐SEM) was utilized for the testing of hypotheses. The findings indicate that green capabilities have a crucial role in adoption of green purchasing practices. Also, the results elucidate that green purchasing practices have a positive effect on economic and environmental performance while having insignificant effect on social performance. The current research work provides guidelines that help practitioners and academicians comprehend the structure and concept of green purchasing practices in industrialized manufacturing firms distinctly.

“…Khan et al [19] found that fossil fuels reduced and renewable energy improved the environmental quality in Europe. Moreover, bulk literature has suggested that the concept of a circular economy and green business practices would serve to promote eco-environmental performance [20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

The Fiscal and Monetary Policies and Environment in GCC Countries: Analysis of Territory and Consumption-Based CO2 Emissions

et al. 2022

Expansionary monetary and fiscal policies are necessary for economic and environmental development. The present research studies the impact of monetary policy and fiscal policy on Territory-Based CO2 (TBC) and Consumption-Based CO2 (CBC) emissions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies from 1990–2019. The cointegration is corroborated through various tests, and long-term relationships are found in both TBC and CBC models. Government expenditures have long-term positive effects on both TBC and CBC emissions and short-term positive effects on TBC emissions in the region. Money supply negatively affects the TBC and CBC emissions in the long run and positively affects TBC and CBC emissions in the short run. Hence, monetary policy needs a long time to have positive ecological effects in the GCC region. Moreover, fiscal policy in both the long and short run and monetary policy in the short run have scale effects in GCC economies. Therefore, we recommend reducing fiscal measures and encouraging monetary policy in the long run to have positive environmental outcomes in the region.

“…They developed the viability of a biological system (that is similar to the intertwined supply network) by a dynamic model of the game theory approach. Jones and Wynn ( 2021 ) studied the resilience and sustainability aspects of the circular economy in the mining and mineral industry and revealed that the most important firms in this industry have applied the resilience concept in their sustainability strategies.…”

Sustainable and reliable closed-loop supply chain network design during pandemic outbreaks and disruptions

This paper aims to design a mathematical model for sustainable closed-loop supply chains during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The proposed multi-objective model minimizes the total cost, carbon emission, and infection risk of the network and also maximizes social benefits. Some practical conditions such as stochastic demands, supplier selection, and facility disruptions are considered in the model. This stochastic model is transformed into a deterministic model by the Chance-Constrained Programming (CCP) approach. Thirty test datasets are applied to examine the effects of COVID-19 on the performance of the network. The problems are solved under two conditions (with and without COVID-19 considerations), and the results show that the total inventory of the model with COVID-19 is higher than the model without COVID-19. Moreover, the value of aggregated objectives of the model with COVID-19 is greater than the other model which indicates the greater distance from the optimal objectives. However, the computational efficiency of the model without COVID-19 is much higher than the other one. Some sensitivity analyses are also carried out, and several policy implications are proposed. According to the demand sensitivity analysis, when managers expect that the demands will increase, they should focus on the infection risk objective. On the contrary, when they expect decreased demands, they should pay more attention to environmental and economic objectives. The analysis of the objectives’ weights indicates that investing in the environmental and COVID-19 risk dimensions needs more financial resources compared to investing in the social dimension.
