Studying and implementing green concepts and strategies has become a challenge for many organisations. Although, it is the primary aim of an organisation to maximise productivity and profits, environmentalist believe that using green concepts in manufacturing products should be assigned the same priority level. Automobile industry in India contributes significantly to its economy as well as provides employment to a large chunk of skilled manpower. Yet, if the industry does not follow the green standards and enabling technologies, it will ultimately accelerate environmental degradation. Government has an imperative role to ensure that the green strategies are implemented effectively. Green products can be recycled and the problem of disposal of wastes can be addressed. In this paper, enablers of Green Manufacturing have been identified and Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) approach has been applied to propose a hierarchical framework that can help the managers to implement the green concepts in Indian automobile industry with relative ease. The current research will help the managers to identify the key enablers of green manufacturing so that the products are manufactured without any ill effect on environment.

In this paper, we have discussed about economics and value chain for a medicinal plant Piper longum Linn. Cultivated by village-based marginal farmers from Odisha state of India, whose livelihoods are significantly supported by the commercial scale production of this plant. A field-based investigation was carried out in Koraput district of Odisha state of south east India, where a total of 250 households from eight villages were found engaged in the production of this medicinal plant species. We also carried out field survey in other places like Madgul in nearby Andhra Pradesh state and later in Delhi to analyse marketing and value chain of this plant at middlemen and wholesale dealer level respectively. The findings revealed that the primary and wholesale secondary markets are mostly dominated by the middlemen who cause inflated prices due to lack of competition in the medicinal plants value chain system. Some steps which need to be taken at the Central and State Governments level to improve upon the conditions of poor growers of this plant and for improved marketing of medicinal plants in the country have been suggested.

This empirical research was conducted to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the uniqueness of green products and market performance through green exploitative and explorative product capabilities, explorative and exploitative market penetration, and examining the effect of the uniqueness of green products on market performance. The exploitation and exploration of green product capabilities was considered as the antecedents and postulated as the driver of the uniqueness of green products, while exploitative and explorative market penetration were considered as the antecedents of market effectiveness. The current study proposes nine hypotheses. The statistical output showed that all hypotheses significantly affect green product differentiation and market performance but explorative market penetration is proven insignificant for leveraging market effectiveness. Data was collected from 1300 respondents charged as operational, sales, and marketing managers in Indonesia and several other Southeast Asian countries. Data was analysed using SEM with AMOS Statistical Software. This research demonstrated that green exploration and exploitation approaches to new product development practices hold a strategic anchor for enhancing green product differentiation and market performance.

Institutional shareholder activism is usually discussed within the business. Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), as long-term institutional investors, are stepping into the sustainable investment movement and corporate governance discussion. But studies, from the regulatory perspective, that discuss the SWFs' shareholder activism are scant. As shareholders of investee companies, SWFs theoretically can exert activism to influence corporate performance, while their inherent feature poses challenges to regulators of host countries. This paper aims to explore the story of SWF activism, and its impacts on corporate governance and business sustainability. It analyses approaches that SWFs can utilise and the status quo of SWF activism. The issues and benefits of SWF activism are briefly assessed. Regulatory supports concerning social activism, responsible investing and transparency are analysed. It suggests that to ensure the benefits of SWF activism and reduce concerns, it is necessary to promote soft law and regulatory measures regarding transparency and SWFs' shareholder rights.

While the European Union's (EU) historic inward-looking energy policy is rapidly shifting through extending the application of energy law to non-EU countries, there has not been much academic focus on this phenomenon yet. Most of the scholarly work is still related to the developments at the European level and does not include the wider extraterritorial effect of EU energy acquis in neighbouring countries. The underlying objective of this paper is to address this deficit by analysing the domestic impact that the EU energy law has outside its bounds. The case of Georgia is referred in this context to enrich the paper with practical examples and study the consequences of EU energy normative power within the eastern Europeanisation framework.

The EU provides for a number of self-regulatory and participative instruments in environmental legislation. While Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) represent 99.8% of the European industrial population, they often lack resources and exposure to the public, limiting their determination to get involved in participatory environmental regulations. Therefore, European regulatory instruments are not yet an effective response to such issues. This article analyses European environmental participation in the industry sector and assesses the incentives and challenges for SMEs. Taking the EMAS Regulation as an example, the analysis aims to show that small companies need more specific regulatory attention and that their participation in the market shall be guided by direct and targeted action of public authorities.

This study investigates whether the observed reduction in energy intensity in Nigeria between 1970 and 2014 will be sustainable, given a possible tie between energy and output and whether de-intensification or de-carbonisation will be a more sustainable approach to ensuring greener growth in Nigeria. Using time series data on real GDP, energy use, and carbon emission obtained from the Global Economic Monitor (GEM) from 1970 to 2014, results of correlation, copula, cointegration, and Granger causality as well as impulse response analyses show evidence of a weak positive tie between energy and growth for Nigeria, and that de-carbonisation is more sustainable in the short term while de-intensification is more sustainable in the longer term. This study concludes that de-carbonisation and de-intensification policies should be adopted in the short term and in the longer term, respectively, in pursuing greener growth in Nigeria.

Within the legal framework of European for-profit companies, this paper examines the role that corporate law can play in preventing environmental damages. It begins with an analysis of the main 'benefits' and 'costs' that corporate directors consider when engaging in environmental risk management: improving business reputation to attract sensitive consumers and investors, and accessing green financing or green public procurement, on the one side; the risk of liability lawsuits, higher costs of credit, a decrease of stock market price and an increase of insurance premiums, on the other side. The paper then turns to the internal dynamics of corporations, developing three different categories of environmental risks and related different corporate attitudes. On the basis of this tripartition, the paper suggests specific corporate governance mechanisms that can be adopted to manage the risk of environmental damages in a more effective, and less costly, manner.

Based on the Kuznets's environmental theory, we examine the effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of gross domestic product (GDP), energy consumption, trade openness, and industrial structure in OPEC countries during 1974-2013, using the Full Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) method. We find that GDP, energy consumption, and industrial structure have positive effects on CO2 emission. The GDP squared, however, negatively affects CO2, although the effect is small. The positive effect of GDP but negative effect of GDP squared validates the environmental Kuznets curve for OPEC countries. In addition, we find that an increase in trade openness leads to decrease in CO2 emission. Using the panel vector error correction model (VECM) and Granger causality test, we confirm that long-run causality is supported for all of our equations. We also find bi-directional short-run causality between energy consumption and CO2 emission and between energy consumption and industrial structure. Moreover, we find one-way causality running from energy consumption to GDP, from CO2 emission to trade openness, from GDP to trade openness, and from GDP to emission.

Owing to increase in environmental pollution, consumers are now more conscious about the environment and are willing to save the environment. The present research attempts to find out the relationship between environmental consciousness and green purchase behaviour among youth. A survey was administered among the young male and female consumers between the ages of 15-29 years. The consumers were surveyed on their green purchase behaviour, environmental concern, environmental attitude, recycling behaviour and political behaviour. Regression analysis was applied to evaluate the data. Environmental attitude has become one of the most important predictor for analysing the green purchase behaviour of young females. Recycling and political action are the most important predictor for young males green purchase behaviour.
