Abstract

Purpose Green innovation, particularly in manufacturing firms, is one of the most advocated methods to curb the effects of climate change. This study aims to investigate the impact of the integration of green customers and suppliers on the green innovation performance of food manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The institutional and resource-based view theories determine the moderating role of regulatory pressure and the mediating role of green knowledge integration capability (GKIC). Design/methodology/approach Data was collected from 511 middle management-level employees of food manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The questionnaire was tested for reliability and validity. Hierarchical regression is used to test the proposed hypothesis. Findings A marginal improvement in integration with green customers can increase the green innovation performance (GIP) of a firm by 23.6%. Green supplier integration can improve the GIP by 14.2%, whereas the GKIC mediates the relationship between Green Customers Integration (GCI) and GIP but not for green suppliers integration (GSI). The moderating effect of regulatory pressure was significant for the relationship between GCI and GIP but insignificant for GSI. Originality/value Food manufacturing accounts for approximately 16% of global green house gases (GHG) emissions. Sustainable development goals (SDGs) cannot be achieved without a significant decrease in GHG emissions by food manufacturing companies. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate firms' green innovation performance in this sector. The findings of this study can help policymakers develop policies for achieving SDGs.

整合外部利益相关者对绿色创新绩效的提升:绿色知识整合能力与监管压力的作用
目的绿色创新,特别是在制造业企业,是遏制气候变化影响的最受提倡的方法之一。本研究旨在调查绿色客户和供应商的整合对巴基斯坦食品制造企业绿色创新绩效的影响。制度和资源观理论决定了监管压力的调节作用和绿色知识整合能力的中介作用。问卷进行了信度和有效性测试。使用层次回归来检验所提出的假设。发现与绿色客户整合的边际改善可以使企业的绿色创新绩效(GIP)提高23.6%。绿色供应商整合可以使GIP提高14.2%,而GKIC调解了绿色客户整合(GCI)和GIP之间的关系,但不利于绿色供应商整合(GSI)。监管压力的调节作用对GCI和GIP之间的关系很重要,但对GSI来说不重要。原产地/价值食品制造业约占全球温室气体排放量的16%。如果食品制造公司不大幅减少温室气体排放,就不可能实现可持续发展目标。因此,研究企业在该领域的绿色创新绩效至关重要。这项研究的结果可以帮助决策者制定实现可持续发展目标的政策。
