    Measuring carbon performance for sustainable green supply chain practices: a developing country scenario
    (Springer, 2020) Ali, Sadia Samar; Kaur, Rajbir; Ersoz, Filiz; Altaf, Bothinah; Basu, Arati; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm
    Carbon emissions due to economic activities are recognized to be global problem. Governments of all countries need to evolve environmental policies and practices for large-scale collective actions to regulate green house gas emission. Fuel quality standards for vehicles, stricter codes for construction, emission limits for industrial units and power plants are some of measures advocated to speed up emission control. This study investigates how far different sectors of a developing economy are able to manage green supply chain with respect to 4 aspects of environmental practices viz. Green procurement, green logistics, green products and process designs and regulatory framework. Globally, corporate social responsibility (CSR) assumes significance in recent years not only with respect to societal issues but also for environmental protection. Research suggests that CSR department creates culture for implementation of CSR activities. We investigate whether CSR departments in the sample organizations have made any difference in achieving emission control objectives. Data are from manufacturing organizations in a congested industrial region of India. We apply non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests; then regression analysis is carried out to ascertain predictability of carbon reduction performance with respect to 4 environmental constructs. Results highlight positive roles of inclusion of green enablers-green procurement, green logistics, green product and process design as contributory factors for improvement in carbon performance and reveal that green logistics in the given scenario need major improvement in carbon performance. Our model also considers the impact of size of the organization on carbon performance in terms of workforce.

    A quantitative analysis of low carbon performance in industrial sectors of developing world
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021) Ali, Sadia Samar; Ersoz, Filiz; Kaur, Rajbir; Altaf, Bothinah; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm
    The world is moving towards carbon restricted scenario where excellence and growth in business is contingent upon good governance and excellent low carbon emission related policies, strategies, and long-term values to stay ahead in competition. Existing research insists that multiple external pressures push organizations to navigate towards sustainable internal practices leading to low carbon performance. Rooted in the theoretical concepts of institutional and contingency theory, this study explores the impact of uncertainties of external business environment on complexities of business internal environment. Hypothesis developed is tested by taking data from 134 manufacturing organizations based on their size and sector, and sustainability practices. The data is analyzed using correlation and multiple linear regression analysis (MLR). Chi-square, Cramer's V and MLR is used for regression analysis and correlation whereas ANN is applied for validating the robustness of the MLR model. Comparison of results of MLR and ANN provide similar outcomes. Results rule out the impact of size of organizations on carbon performance. 'Environmental regulations activities' and 'political and legal regulations' along with efficient implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)/Sustainability activities backed by top management are the main contributors of low carbon performance. The study identified the 'interest of foreign investors' in the region as one of areas requiring further exploration for improved carbon performance. Mode of technology came as major roadblock for low carbon performance and requires top management to ponder over for improved results. Also, found wanting for improvement are-modes of transport, employee motivation and external stakeholders. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
