“…Moreover, through a case study of the company Patagonia, (Dezi et al, 2022) demonstrated that the common drivers of QM, Circular Economy (CE) and Social Enterprises (SE) also explain the Triple Bottom Line (i.e., economic, social, and environmental sustainability). In line with this, Huma et al (2023) stressed that a triple-bottom-line improvement could be achieved by integrating supply chain quality with green practices. Finally, Bagur-Femenías et al (2015) claimed that embracing sustainability as a strategic commitment could be a valuable approach to improve the company's financial performance.…”

PurposeThe use of quality management (QM) to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) is a topic of growing interest in academia and industry. The IAQ (International Academy for Quality) established Quality Sustainability Award in 2020, a testament to this growing interest. This study aims to investigate how QM philosophies, methodologies and tools can be used to achieve sustainable development in organizations.Design/methodology/approachFive large manufacturing organizations – three from India and two from China – who reported their achievements about using QM in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were studied using multiple sources of data collection. A detailed within-case and cross-case analysis were conducted to unearth this linkage's practical and theoretical aspects.FindingsThe study finds that QM methodologies effectively met the five organizations' UNSDGs. These organizations successfully used OPEX (Operational Excellence) methodologies such as Lean, Kaizen and Six Sigma to meet UNSDGs 7, 11, 12 and 13. Moreover, UNSG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) is the most targeted goal across the case studies. A cross-case analysis revealed that the most frequently used quality tools were Design of Experiments (DoE), Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), C&E analysis and Inferential statistics, among other essential tools.Research limitations/implicationsThe study's sample size was limited to large-scale manufacturing organizations in the two most populous countries in the world. This may limit the study's generalizability to other countries, continents, or micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Additionally, the study's conclusions would be strengthened if tested as hypotheses in a follow-up survey.Practical implicationsThis practical paper provides case studies on how to use QM to impact SDGs. It offers both descriptive and prescriptive solutions for practitioners. The study highlights the importance of using essential QM tools in a structured and systematic manner, with effective teams, to meet the SDGs of organizations.Social implicationsThe study shows how QM can be used to impact UNSDGs, and this is very important because the UNSDGs are a set of global objectives that aim to address a wide range of social and environmental issues. This study could motivate organizations to achieve the UNSDGs using essential QM tools and make the world a better place for the present and future generations.Originality/valueThis case study is the first to investigate at a micro-level how QM can impact UNSDGs using live examples. It uses data from the IAQ to demonstrate how QM can be integrated into UNSDGs to ensure sustainable manufacturing.

“…In order to implement these practices, top management commitment is essential, being one of the top three key variables to implement GSCM and achieve environmental goals (Pathak et al, 2020). In fact, according to empirical evidence, internal environmental management is a necessary precursor for implementing other GSCM practices (Habib et al, 2022) and it is a key factor that contributes to CEP (Huma et al, 2023).…”

The adoption of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and its impact on firm's performance is gaining importance in both academic and corporate fields. While past studies found a positive relationship between GSCM and Corporate Environmental Performance (CEP), there is no evidence of either which are the green practices that improve CEP the most or the moderating roles that affect such relationship. In order to provide clarity as to which tools are key in leading to a stronger CEP, this study aims to examine how GSCM relates to CEP, under the effect of several moderating roles. To that end, 166 articles published between 2001 and 2023 were included in our meta‐analysis sample. Our central results reveal that the link between the variables is significantly positive, with investment recovery being the practice with the strongest impact. Moreover, it is confirmed that moderators do have an impact in this relationship. Practical implications are relevant for policy makers and upper management that is willing to introduce environmental thinking in their business strategy.

“…WS also keeps the employees connected with the environment because protecting the environment is an essential and ethical element. EE emphasizes ethical obligations toward the environment (Alipour Amir et al, 2021;Huma et al, 2023aHuma et al, , 2023b. Both provoke thought and guide individuals (Alshehri et al, 2021).…”

“…Thus sustainable practices, green activities and behavior must be adopted (Agarwal and Kapoor, 2022) to inculcate an eco-friendly culture within an organization. Pakistan, a developing country, lags in environmental law implementation (Huma et al , 2023b). Therefore, to enhance EnPerf, organizations and human resources managers need to make their employees passionate about the environment.…”

Purpose Environmental performance (EnPerf) needs to be critically studied so organizations can understand enhancing it. The purpose of this study is mainly to examine and explain the influence of beliefs and values of the human resources regarding religiosity (REL) and workplace spirituality (WS) on shaping an environmentally friendly work culture comprising environmental ethics (EE) and environmental passion (EP), to enhance EnPerf. Design/methodology/approach A survey methodology was used, and 316 responses were collected from the employees working in industries on the top list of polluting the environment using purposive sampling. Structural equation modeling was deployed to test the hypotheses. Findings This research is conducted to identify specific relationships of variables with the environment. It was discovered that WS affected EP and EE, positively affecting EnPerf. Research limitations/implications This study guides organizations and their management to adopt WS, EE and EP, as these all increase EnPerf in the organization. Originality/value Not much work has been conducted on the environmental culture based on REL and WS, using the ability-motivation-opportunity theory. This research analyzes employees’ intrinsic factors, such as REL and WS, to develop EP and EE. Thus helping to comprehend how they can use to enhance EnPerf, which is the current priority for the organizations.
