“…They found that an individual's willingness to pay to offset his or her carbon footprint is positively correlated with income, education, carbon literacy and environmental preferences [32]. Abdelkareem et al found that green competence had a positive and significant shadow on willingness to reduce carbon footprint and that willingness to reduce carbon footprint was also an important factor in enhancing sustainable performance in the healthcare sector [2]. Liu et al simulated the decision of purchasing carbon emission rights and combined the operation management of carbon assets with the investment in carbon financial market, providing a valuable reference for alleviating environmental problems and improving the carbon market [24].…”

“…Our research provides a valuable reference for firms to set an appropriate level of green technology innovation and cope with the adverse effects of the widespread implementation of carbon footprint labeling in the future. (2) We construct three decision models: the no-subsidy model (model N), the carbon footprint reduction rate subsidy model (model C), and the green technology innovation cost subsidy model (model I). Then we study the incentive effect of different government subsidy approaches on OEM's green technology innovation and the impact on firms' profits, the environment, consumer surplus, and social welfare.…”

We have developed three distinct decision models to examine the influence of consumer's carbon footprint sensitivity level and government subsidies on the green technology innovation level of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as well as pricing decisions for both the OEM and a third-party remanufacturer (TPR). Our study provides valuable insights for businesses to determine the appropriate green technology innovation level and manage the adverse effects of carbon footprint. The results show that the OEM will set the green technology innovation level according to the consumer's carbon footprint sensitivity level and the remanufacturing emission reduction coefficient. Only when there is government subsidy and the carbon footprint sensitivity level exceeds a certain threshold, does the profit of OEM increase with a rise in carbon footprint sensitivity level. Otherwise, the carbon footprint only harms the OEM's profit. While the consumer's carbon footprint sensitivity level can help reduce the detrimental environmental impact of products, it can also diminish consumer surplus and social welfare. However, government subsidies have the potential to mitigate the adverse effect, making the consumer's carbon footprint sensitivity level an incentive to increase consumer surplus and social welfare.

Although previous research endeavours have extensively explored the environmental pressure-performance relationship, their findings have been inclusive. Therefore, this paper examines the direct and indirect (through the mediating role of eco-innovation) impact of regulatory pressure and eco-friendly product demand on sustainable competitive advantage. The research model was examined using Structural Equation Modeling methodology, analyzing data gathered from 183 senior managers within Egyptian SMEs. Several findings have been yielded, which are: (1) eco-innovation is positively motivated by regulatory pressure and eco-friendly product demand; (2) the direct link between environmental pressures (regulatory pressure, eco-friendly product demand) and sustainable competitive advantages is not statistically significant; and (3) eco-innovation acts as a mediator in the relationship between these environmental pressures and sustainable competitive advantage. This research theoretically contributes to the institutional theory of the firm and competitive advantages theory. Particularly, the findings of this research theoretically emphasize that eco-innovation plays a prominent role in alleviating and translating environmental pressures exerted on manufacturing SMEs into sustainable competitive advantages. Furthermore, the research provides practical implications, policy recommendations, limitations, and further research avenues.

PurposeIntegrating green (sustainable) practices in logistics management play a crucial role in accelerating the transition to a circular economy, realizing its sustainability potential and position in the net zero emission target by 2050. Over the past decade, this integration has attracted significant attention in both academic and industrial discourse. Despite the increasing recognition of the benefits of green logistics practices (GLPs), only a few firms have implemented green-oriented or sustainable logistics practices; hence, a comprehensive understanding of what could drive its implementation as well as how and when firms can benefit from GLPs is of key importance for theory, policy and practice. Drawing on dual theoretical lenses, this study investigated how supply chain ethical leadership (SCEL) could stimulate green logistics practices by building green core competencies (GCC) under varying conditions of corporate green culture (CGC).Design/methodology/approachAn integrated model motivated by social learning and contingency theories was tested using responses from 208 managers of logistics firms in Ghana. SPSS 23 and covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) were used for data analyses.FindingsBoth SCEL and GCC significantly influenced GLPs. The findings also showed that GLPs significantly enhanced carbon-neutral supply chain performance (CNSCP). The results further showed that GCC mediates the SCEL–GLPs link. We also found that the effect of SCEL on GLPs was amplified at a high level of CGC.Practical implicationsThis study offers fresh insight into how managers can leverage SCEL to support GLP and when they can also combine green competence and green culture to achieve enhanced benefits in the form of carbon-neutral SCP. This further implies that building ethical leadership and competencies alone may not be sufficient to drive superior emission reduction and subsequent sustainability; rather, cultivating a green-oriented culture that values sustainable logistics is crucial to fully realize the potential of ethical leadership and competencies in enabling the implementation of GLPs and subsequently enhancing carbon-neutral SCP.Originality/valueThe novelty of the present study lies in the integration of social learning and contingency theories to unearth the mechanism and conditional roles of green competence and green culture in optimizing the SCEL–GLPs–GLP relationship. The study is also among the few attempts to shed light on how firms can leverage GLPs to enhance carbon-neutral supply chain performance, which is rare.
