“…Table 2 displays the constructs and item measurements. Environmental orientation was measured using eight items from Chan et al [2], with four items each for internal environmental orientation (1-4) and external environmental orientation (5)(6)(7)(8). GSCM was measured using nine items from Gavronski et al [1].…”

This study investigates the relationship between environmental orientation and firm performance with the mediating role of green supply chain management (GSCM). This study uses a survey questionnaire to collect data from 247 CEOs from Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Structural equation modeling is used to analyze data and test hypotheses. Empirical results show that internal and external environmental orientations are positively related to the three elements of GSCM, namely, environmental selection, monitoring, and collaboration with suppliers which are also positively related to firm performance. In addition, results show that environmental selection, monitoring, and collaboration with suppliers mediates the relationship between internal and external environmental orientations and firm performance. The findings provide important implications for academic researchers and business managers in planning and implementing environmental strategies. In terms of theoretical implications, this study sheds a new light to current knowledge about the effect of environmental orientation on GSCM and firm performance of SMEs. This study also provides empirical evidence to clarify the mediating mechanism of GSCM in the link between environmental orientation and firm performance of SMEs. In terms of practical implications, this study provides knowledge for managers of SMEs to better understand the important role of environmental orientation and green supply chain management. Findings of this study provide knowledge for managers of SMEs to make their business policies better.

“…In order to reduce the cost of air pollution control, many researchers have analyzed its influencing factors, and put forward methods to reduce the cost [11][12][13]17,18]. For example, Marina and Andreas [18] studied the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (ETC) policy of European Aviation, and found that the implementation of emission trading is an effective means to control air pollution, and can reduce the control cost.…”

“…Various countries take different measures to control air pollution; they include direct control, environment protection tax [6,7], emission trading [8][9][10], and environmental protection technologies such as recycling and reuse [11,12]. Of these options, air pollution control based on emission rights trading has attracted more attention [13,14].…”

A Joint Control Model Based on Emission Rights Futures Trading for Regional Air Pollution That Accounts for the Impacts on Employment

et al. 2019

To reduce air pollutant control costs and solve the problem of decreased employment caused by air pollution control, we established a double-objective optimization Joint Control Model (JCM) based on emission rights futures trading. The JCM calculates the spot price of emission rights, classifies regions in the trading market for emission rights into buyers and sellers, and calculates the optimal cooperative pollution abatement quantity. Compared with a non-cooperative control mode, the JCM generated benefits of US$2485.19 × 10 6 . We then used a Game Quadratic Programming (GQP) method to distribute the benefits, and applied the JCM to a case study of the abatement of sulfur dioxide in China's Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi provinces. We found that: (i) Compared with a JCM that does not account for employment, employment under the JCM increased by 3.20 × 10 3 people, and the pollution control cost decreased by US$11.20 × 10 6 under the JCM that considered employment. The effect of the latter model is better than that of the former. (ii) Employment under the JCM increased by 18.80 × 10 4 people compared with that under a territorial control mode, reducing the cost by US$99.73 × 10 6 . The JCM is helpful for all participating regions to balance environmental and livelihood issues in the process of air pollution control to achieve sustainable development.

The circular economy is characterized as regenerative economy that aims to preserve the greatest value of products and materials. Currently, the transition to the circular economy is not only a necessity, but it gradually becomes a social and economic paradigm. The implementation of the circular economy gradually changes and will change the nature and intensity of every sector regardless of its reproductive cycle. For producers, particularly in the rapidly growing sectors, the development of innovative business models will be essential to comply with the principles of the circular economy. The fastest growing sector includes the textiles and clothing industry. The implementation of innovative business models in the field of textile and clothing industry is thus a challenge that the sector is facing. Slovakia as EU member state is facing the same challenge. Bodies operating in the textile and clothing industries must be gradually prepared for changes that brings the legislation and get ready for the trends that determine the changes mentioned. The article presents the results of research that shows the potential of the Slovak textile and clothing producers, coupled with the transition to the aforementioned new economic model, with a focus on implementing new circular business models into their activities, benefits and disadvantages of this procedure and the limits of implementation new business models into the activities of entities operating in the textile clothing industry in Slovakia. Implications for Central European audience: This paper aims to contribute to the development of a topical and beneficial subject-matter related to transition from a linear to a circular economy in Central Europe. This entails knowledge on the imminent obligations of producers in one of the fastest growing sectors of Central European economies, i.e. in the textile and clothing industry. Such knowledge enriches the existing business models with a new business paradigm. In theoretical terms, this knowledge creates a platform for further scientific research potential and economic, business, and management education at universities. In practical terms, this knowledge represents a proactive approach of producers to the creation and implementation of innovative business models.
