Eurostat and the European Environmental Agency have in 2019 reported there is still need to continue implementing zero-carbon practices in European Union (EU) Countries although there has been a noted decrease of 22% in emissions when compared to their 1990 levels. This paper employed a system-Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) framework to evaluate the environmental impacts of tax systems in selected 28 EU economies from 2010 to 2017. The results of the study proved that aggregate environmental tax is not effectively lowering greenhouse gas emissions as expected, although it improves environmental sustainability. Possibly the environment tax revenue collected in the European Union countries was not used to enhance energy efficiency; hence it could not lower greenhouse gas emissions. The other findings demonstrate that when environmental tax is disaggregated (energy tax and transport tax) these instruments have been more efficient in lessening emissions and also improves environmental sustainability (in the case of transport tax). The paper, therefore, highlights the importance of adopting green tax instruments which are more focused and harmonising directly with environmental goals for EU economies.

“…This study seeks to investigate how the leadership role impacts sustainable innovation within organizations. In the context of sustainable innovation, various facets, such as organizational culture, strategic planning, time management, long-term vision, communication strategies, integration efforts, business model design, decision-making processes, governance structures, and strategic positioning, encapsulated under the umbrella "Leadership Role (LR)" have garnered attention in the literature [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Hence, the question raised is how LR influences sustainable innovation in the firm.…”

The purpose of this article is to navigate the intricate balance between innovation and sustainability, pinpointing facilitating factors for their harmonious coexistence. It aims to guide firms toward a future where innovation drives progress while safeguarding the planet’s and its inhabitants’ well-being. Synthesizing the existing research, this study explores the impacts of various factors on sustainable innovation performance. The results highlight the positive associations of leadership roles, dynamic capabilities, stakeholder engagement, and social and environmental aspects with the firm’s innovation, providing insights for fostering sustainable innovation practices. This study proposes a framework that illustrates how factors impacting sustainable innovation intersect with theories studied in this article, such as the triple bottom line (TBL) and sustainability development theory (SDT). A systematic literature review (SLR) methodology is adopted to synthesize the knowledge and validate the research outcome to reach a conclusion. It will be beneficial to include sustainability both as a critical strategy for any firm’s growth and as a key part of the academic curriculum to create knowledge that will develop responsible leaders for a sustainable world. Future studies may utilize quantitative methods, like surveys, to empirically validate outcomes, offering numerical insights into factors influencing sustainable innovation within firms and enriching understanding of their impact and relationships.
