Abstract:As a result of China launching its belt and road initiatives, an increasing number of firms are searching for an approach to developing sustainability. In particular, agribusinesses are encountering difficulties exploring decisive practices for sustainable food in a context involving diverse stakeholders. To clarify these differences in expectations between agribusinesses and their stakeholders, this study employs vague sets associated with interpretive structural modelling to develop a framework for agribusinesses and their customers. A comparison of these two frameworks reveals that the government still plays a key role in motivating sustainable food development in terms of establishing the relevant regulations and processes. Moreover, the customer is the final stakeholder that must be taken into account by agribusiness. Both agribusinesses and customers are concerned about health and safety considerations in sustainable food. Further details related to this context are addressed in the present study.

“…The firm is characterised by the relationship with many individuals and groups "stakeholders", each with the power to affect the performance of the company (Lafreniere et al, 2013) [30]. According to Park and Ghauri (2015), customers are important primary stakeholders that appear to be particularly influential for the firm in view of their corporate citizenship [31].…”

“…Mishra and Suar (2010) suggest that the stakeholder theory helps firms to understand values, and offer a way to promote organizational responsibility [34]. As such, stakeholders have the legal or moral right to expect a firm to satisfy their interest (Lafreniere et al, 2013) [30]. Hence, the amount spent on waste management by firms to reduce waste generation is relevant to this study.…”

Waste generation and waste management are critical environmental issues faced by countries all over the world. Furthermore, there are greater environmental, economic, and social demands on firms to reduce the environmental impacts due to environmental problems brought about by their operating activities. There is a current debate as to the financial implications of waste management expenditure on waste reduction targets. This study examines the relationship between waste management expenditure on waste reduction targets, and the impact of waste reduction targets on firms' profitability. This study used the quantitative method that utilizes the multiple regressions method to analyses data from selected South African Johannesburg Stock Exchange's (JSE) Socially Responsible Index (SRI) listed manufacturing and mining firms for ten years (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016). The study tests if there is a relationship between waste management expenditure and waste reduction targets, as well as the impact of waste reduction targets on firms' profitability. Results show that waste reduction targets have a positive, but insignificant, correlation on the profitability of firms, and also indicate that there is a relationship between waste management expenditure and waste reduction targets. The study recommends that firms should focus more on minimizing waste generation to reduce costs.
