The increasing trend of technological advancement has led to significant changes in how customers purchase goods. Currently, buying products can be done most effectively from the comfort of one’s home through online shopping. Customers send and receive thousands of shipments daily, contributing to many materials and packaging that go to waste. While environmental sustainability is becoming increasingly important in all industries, little is known about the factors that drive e-commerce enterprises to adopt green logistical practices. The current study aims to identify the factors that have the most significance in creating sustainable e-commerce in the future of logistics and marketing. This study performed a statewide online seller survey in the Philippines to acquire data on product characteristics, including how internal processes and external partnerships are used and perceived to minimize the carbon footprint connected with order fulfillment and delivery. It encompassed a sample of 286 online sellers nationwide and employed structural equation modeling to identify the factors influencing green logistics practices within the e-commerce industry. The findings underscore that technology has a positive relationship in fostering sustainability. The results also establish significant positive correlations between sustainable e-commerce practices, government laws, seller behavior, and reverse logistics. Notably, this research sheds light on the intricate dynamics of drivers promoting green logistics within the Philippine e-commerce landscape.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green marketing are crucial for promoting ethical and sustainable company practices. This review article offers a thorough examination of the relationship between green marketing and CSR, examining the historical progression, theoretical foundations, and tactical ramifications of green marketing for various businesses. It emphasizes the difficulties of "greenwashing," the significance of transparency, and the necessity of striking a balance between business objectives and sustainability aims. The study clarifies how government regulations and incentives influence green marketing and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices, highlighting the significance of legal frameworks, tax breaks, and public‒private partnerships. With an emphasis on new tactics, projected shifts in consumer needs, and prospective areas for further study and development, future trends and prospects in green marketing and CSR should be investigated. With an emphasis on consumer behavior, innovative sustainable packaging, and the effect of CSR on staff engagement, more research and collaboration are needed to develop green marketing and CSR practices. Businesses looking to maximize their positive impact and governments trying to create inclusive and successful sustainability legislation can both benefit from its insightful advice. We can all contribute to a greener and more socially responsible world by making sustainability a core value and encouraging cooperation.

However, there is a prominent gap in existing literature in comprehending the specific mechanisms by which CSR moderates CPB.…”
