“…Consequently, green transformation is consistent with the theory of the green economy and circular economy. It not only considers the entire process of economic production but also combines economic production, social development, resources, and the environment, aiming to maximize the performance of resource utilization by transforming the model of economic development [ 29 ].…”

The contradiction between the endless pursuit of material possessions and finite natural resources hampers ecological well-being performance (EWP) improvement. Green transformation, recognized as an emerging strategy in sustainable development, can help to coordinate ecological, social, and economic growth by optimizing resource usage, with the ultimate objective of enhancing EWP. This research quantifies how green transformation influences EWP by using panel data from 78 prefecture-level cities in western China from 2012 to 2019. Using the super-SBM and entropy weight models, we assess the EWP and green transformation index (GTI) of 78 prefecture-level cities in western China. On this basis, we quantify the spatial characteristics of EWP by an analysis of the Theil index and spatial autocorrelation. Finally, we examine how GTI affects EWP using the Spatial Durbin model. The results demonstrate that the GTI can raise the EWP of local and nearby cities in western China. According to a GTI analysis of internal indicators, the industrial solid waste usage, harm-less treatment rate of domestic waste, savings level, and R&D expenditure significantly affect EWP. In contrast, the soot emission and consumption levels impede EWP advancement. The analysis of effect decomposition indicates that the sewage treatment rate, expenditure on science and technology, and green patents have a significant spatial spillover effect on the improvement of EWP.

Deciding on an appropriate development strategy is one of the most crucial aspects of the mining industry’s green transition. This research introduces a novel integrated decision support model that can be applied to analyze various environmental factors and determine development strategies. In this study, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is employed from multiple perspectives, including political, economic, social, and technological (PEST), to assess the internal and external factors that influence green mining. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to analyze the factor weights quantitatively, and the fuzzy Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method is used to rank and select development strategies. According to the results, “grasp the trend of green development and improve the protection and exploitation level of mineral resources” is found to be the final optimal strategy. Comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis confirmed the accuracy of the model and the case study results.

“…Kimata and Itakura (2021) studied the impact of technological capabilities on corporate responsibility for environmental protection. On the other hand, Cheba et al (2022) found that some scholars also start their research from the necessary paths for enterprises to implement the innovation, mainly in terms of information technology, government regulation, academic innovation and industrial chain to suggest the path of green innovation for enterprises, and that the way and performance level of enterprises to carry out green innovation depends on the level of their R&D and innovation capability. However, the innovation and upgrading of companies requires not only the optimisation of production and operational processes, but also top-down changes in organisational structures, and these initiatives are predicated on significant green investments by management.…”

During the 14th Five Year Plan period, the green transformation of China’s economic growth mode has become the top priority under the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goal. As an important focus of green transformation and development, manufacturing enterprises need to carry out green innovation to cope with the dual pressure of resource and environmental constraints and supply side structural contradictions. Based on the perspective of business ecosystem theory, this study uses fsQCA method to analyze the A-share listed manufacturing enterprise clusters in China’s Yangtze River Delta economic belt and the middle reaches of the Yellow River economic belt. The research found that: 1) Manufacturing enterprises engaged in green innovation has the characteristics of multi causality and concurrence, and there are mainly four driving paths of high performance level. 2) The vision of management and investment is the core supporting factor of green innovation performance. The business ecosystem structure, which combines environmental supervision and competitors’ green innovation concerns, is the core driving structure of enterprise green innovation. 3) Compared with the academic experience of senior executives, the driving effect of environmental investment plays a greater role in improving the level of innovation performance. The innovation of this study is to introduce the green investment vision of managers and the green innovation concerns of stakeholders into the research framework of green innovation driving paths of manufacturing enterprises, explore different green innovation paths across case sets, and discuss the heterogeneity of the impact of each path on the level of green innovation performance, providing a practical plan of green innovation for managers of manufacturing enterprises, and help them understand which business ecosystem elements can promote efficient green innovation.
