Businesses increasingly recognize the strategic advantage of adopting a green approach, especially in light of the world's growing interest in sustainable development. This strategy appeals to people because it can enhance economic success and ensure long-term sustainability. While there have been numerous studies examining the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on businesses, there is still a significant gap in knowledge regarding the links between CSR, sustainable consumption and production (SCP), green innovation (GI), and green supply chain management (GSCM), and how they collectively contribute to sustainability. This research addresses the gap by exploring the mediating role of GI and GSCM in the relationship between CSR and SCP in contemporary businesses. The study utilized partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the survey data collected from a sample of 486 managerial staff members. The findings reveal how CSR impacts SCP through the intermediary effects of GI and GSCM. Furthermore, this research contributes to the existing CSR literature by highlighting the potential benefits of CSR in generating value for the firm's performance. In light of these findings, it is recommended that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adjust their strategies and operations to impact the environment, culture, and economy positively. This research underscores the need for a circular economy in GSCM to promote sustainability.
企业越来越认识到采用绿色方法的战略优势,特别是考虑到世界对可持续发展的兴趣日益增加。这种策略吸引了人们,因为它可以提高经济成功并确保长期可持续性。虽然已经有许多研究考察了企业社会责任 (CSR) 对企业的影响,但对于 CSR、可持续消费和生产 (SCP)、绿色创新 (GI) 和绿色供应链管理 (GSCM) 之间的联系以及它们如何共同为可持续性做出贡献,知识上仍存在很大差距。本研究通过探讨 GI 和 GSCM 在当代企业 CSR 与 SCP 关系中的中介作用来填补这一空白。该研究使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模 (PLS-SEM) 分析了从 486 名管理人员样本中收集的调查数据。研究结果揭示了 CSR 通过 GI 和 GSCM 的中介效应对 SCP 的影响。此外,本研究通过强调 CSR 在为企业绩效创造价值方面的潜在益处,为现有 CSR 文献做出了贡献。鉴于这些发现,建议中小企业 (SME) 调整其战略和运营,以对环境、文化和经济产生积极影响。这项研究强调了 GSCM 中循环经济的必要性,以促进可持续性。
