Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management最新文献

To achieve carbon neutrality, it is crucial that private commercial and noncommercial firms also do their bit to adopt and implement green projects (GPs). Nonetheless, there is a lack of scholarly understanding regarding the elements that influence the implementation of GP by private firms, as well as the barriers to GP adoption and strategies to overcome them. This study seeks to fill the existing knowledge vacuum by examining open-ended essays to provide useful perspectives into the experiences and viewpoints of organizations that have implemented GP. The qualitative data collected were analyzed to determine four unique dimensions, including a variety of elements connected to GP implementation. (a) The study identifies four enablers that push firms to go for GP and three critical areas during the evaluation. (b) The study further identifies four major stumbling blocks of resource management, project viability, external issues, and integration challenges that affect GP and three risk management strategies to overcome these. Our study adds essential theoretical and practical perspectives to the ongoing debate about implementing GP in a comprehensive and inclusive manner.

This study investigates the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer loyalty through a systematic review of 408 articles published between 2004 and 2024 in Web of Science and Scopus. A bibliometric analysis conducted with R and VOSviewer examined annual publication trends, leading journals, and highly cited articles, thematic developments, and term co-occurrence patterns. Results indicate consistent growth in research over the past two decades, with China emerging as the leading contributor, largely driven by government directives and firms' alignment with international sustainability standards. Prominent publication outlets include Sustainability, Journal of Marketing, and Journal of Business Ethics, with Bhattacharya and Sen identified in 2014 as the most influential authors. Thematic mapping positions “loyalty” as a motor theme and “CSR” as an emerging domain, while “innovation” and “customer perception” appear as central but underexplored areas. “Consumer behavior” is highlighted as a promising avenue for future inquiry. Building on these findings, further research could focus on the role of CSR in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, the underlying motivations for CSR engagement, the interplay between CSR and innovation, and the extension of sustainable practices within B2B contexts.

Clothing is a fundamental human necessity, and the textile industry plays a crucial role in fulfilling this need. However, this industry's significant carbon emissions necessitate a thorough examination of its environmental impact. This study aims to introduce a novel framework designed to support textile fabric production organisations in achieving their decarbonisation goals. It encompasses a quantitative assessment of the organisational carbon footprint, explores various decarbonisation strategies, and addresses the challenges and actions associated with implementing these strategies. The semi-structured interviews and document reviews were used to collect the primary data for the study. Using the ISO 14064-Part I standard, the organisation's carbon footprint was quantitatively assessed. Results showed that Category 1 (direct emissions) is the primary source of carbon emissions, emitting 37,198.00 tCO₂e/year, followed by Category 2 with 13,004.83 tCO₂e/year, Category 3 with 4483.89 tCO₂e/year and Category 4 with 43.92 tCO₂e/year. The coal combustion is the primary contributor to the overall emissions, which account for 44.33% (24,264.82 tCO₂e/year) of total carbon emissions. Grid electricity is the second emission hotspot, contributing to 23.76% of total carbon emissions. Methodologically, the study contributes by operationalising ISO 14064-Part I within the context of a developing country and extending it through stakeholder engagement to identify emission hotspots. This study contributes by integrating quantitative emissions data with qualitative stakeholder insights, offering a hybrid framework that reflects both technical accuracy and contextual realities. This study proposes actions to overcome these challenges, aiming to support SDGs, particularly those related to responsible consumption, production and climate action.

The role of public project construction in achieving net-zero carbon emissions highlights the imperative for contractors to prioritize low-carbon practices. This study investigates the emergence of contractors' low-carbon attention (LCA) based on the attention-based view (ABV), focusing on structural factors (i.e., institutional logic and low-carbon resources) and the situated factor of green organization image. Data from 164 public construction contractors was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). The PLS-SEM results indicate that commercial and pro-environmental logics, low-carbon resources, and the green organization image significantly influence contractors' LCA, whereas regulatory logic exerts no significant impact. The fsQCA results identify three sufficient configurations, illustrating how institutional logic, in combination with low-carbon resources and the green organization image, foster contractors' LCA. This study advances understanding of organizational environmental cognition and carbon reduction by revealing the complex emergent mechanism of contractors' LCA.

This study seeks to identify and analyze the major factors that contribute to an inclusive workforce for women in the area of logistics and supply chain. It further addresses the need for gender diversity and inclusivity in a traditionally male-dominated field by adopting a human-centric approach. This study employs a combination of Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and Fuzzy Best Worst Method (FBWM) for methodically identifying and prioritizing factors that influence inclusiveness for women in the logistics and supply chain industry. FDM gathers experts' opinions and achieves a consensus on the identified relevant factors. Subsequently, FBWM is used to analyze the factors, providing a clear priority ranking based on their relative significance. The analysis identified potential factors that are crucial for fostering an inclusive workforce in the logistics and supply chain industry for women. The factors were classified into three main categories: employee growth and culture, inclusive business ecosystems, and accessibility and diversity factors. Based on the global weights, the top three ranked factors are: gender-inclusive supply chain practices, skill development workshops, and supporting women-owned businesses. This study is original in terms of gender inclusiveness in the logistics and supply chain industry. The innovative combination of multiple methods stipulates a robust methodology for identifying and analyzing the factors that impact inclusiveness, offering a novel contribution to the literature and practical applications in this field.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly recognized as a strategic lever for enhancing organizational performance in construction, yet research on this nexus remains sparse. This study investigates how CSR practices generate organizational benefits through resource collaboration networks. Based on a two-stage variable formation process, an analysis framework was developed, with data analyzed through content analysis and two-mode social network analysis of 20 global leading contractors' CSR reports over a 12-year study period (2011–2022), assisted by natural language processing techniques. Mobilizing stakeholder theory, the contingency resource-based view, and dynamic capabilities theory, this study identifies key CSR practices linked to 13 distinct benefits, revealing a core-periphery network structure. Influential practices, particularly those related to environmental management and fair labor policies, are shown to drive benefits such as employee morale, commitment, and loyalty. The longitudinal analysis shows that CSR has evolved beyond a compliance mechanism to strategic assets that balance ethical obligations with competitive advantages. The innovative CSR-resource collaboration networks advance theoretical understanding by emphasizing strategic resource alignment and stakeholder-shared value. Practically, the findings offer valuable insights for construction firms to coordinate and optimize CSR strategies, ultimately promoting sustainable business performance.
