“…Today, countries across the globe are facing a lot of ecological problems such as natural resources exhaustion, global warming, and decrease in biological diversity (Umar, Khan, Muhammad Zia-ul-haq, et al, 2021;Khan et al, 2021a). These ecological issues have challenged businesses and forced them to move towards sustainable practices.…”

Increasing businesses adverse operations and unsustainable practices are causing rise in environmental concerns. The adoption of green capabilities could be a promising step that can ease environmental problems and achieve green ideology in businesses. In the current study, green capabilities and green purchasing practices were critically theorized and a theoretical framework was developed to address the sustainability problems in supply chain. The data were collected from manufacturing firms located in emerging countries and covariance‐based structural equation modeling (CB‐SEM) was utilized for the testing of hypotheses. The findings indicate that green capabilities have a crucial role in adoption of green purchasing practices. Also, the results elucidate that green purchasing practices have a positive effect on economic and environmental performance while having insignificant effect on social performance. The current research work provides guidelines that help practitioners and academicians comprehend the structure and concept of green purchasing practices in industrialized manufacturing firms distinctly.

“…International competitiveness for crude oil has escalated in the last decade with industrializing countries like China and India (Khan et al 2021c ; Yang et al 2015 ). Despite this oil, the sector is one of the world's largest and most capital-intensive sectors (Khan et al 2021d ; Babri et al 2017 ).…”

“…All the available literature so far have studied crude oil production, consumption, and its effect on the environment (Janssens-Maenhout et al 2017 ; Khan et al 2022a ; Kanaboshi et al 2021 ; Khan et al 2022b ; Khan et al 2021c ; Lin and Yousaf 2020 ; Khan et al 2021b ; Magazzino et al 2020 ). But how can the policymakers make a strategic decision while keeping in mind the heightened trend of crude oil trade and its usage for mobilizing economic activities that ultimately industrialized the product while using the renewable energy alternatives?…”

This research attempts to model the association of crude oil imports with several macroeconomic factors such as renewable energy, transport services, trade, industrial value-added, and patents, using Germany’s annual data covering the period of 1990–2020. Employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model, this study finds a significant co-integration relationship among targeted variables. Moreover, this study provides empirical evidence on the influence of given macroeconomic factors in determining crude oil imports of Germany. Results reveal that transport services and industrial value-added positively and significantly influence crude oil imports in the long and short run. Similarly, trade is discovered to have a significant positive impact on oil imports only in the long run. In contrast, findings reveal a significant negative association of renewable energy with crude oil imports. Hence, this research implies that the transportation sector and industrial production strongly depend on crude oil consumption. At the same time, promoting renewable energy in these segments could significantly help economies control crude oil demand and achieve sustainability by reducing the economic burden and protecting the environment.

“…Green supply chain introduces environmental protection concepts into supply chain management to improve supply chain ecology and financial performance (Khan et al, 2021c). Low-carbon technological innovations, such as Industry 4.0 and blockchain technology (Khan et al, 2021a;Khan et al, 2021d;Yu Z. et al, 2021), are essential to the sustainable development of GSC (Zhou and Ren, 2021). Knowledge is the key driving force for LC technology innovation, and acquiring knowledge can strengthen the innovation capabilities of enterprises (Rumanti et al, 2019).…”

Knowledge sharing (KS) in the green supply chain (GSC) is jointly determined by the KS efforts of suppliers and manufacturers. This study uses the differential game method to explore the dynamic strategy of KS and the benefits of emission reduction in the process of low carbon (LC) technology in the GSC. The optimal trajectory of the knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits of suppliers and manufacturers under different strategies are obtained. The validity of the model and the results are verified by numerical simulation analysis, and the sensitivity analysis of the main parameters in the case of collaborative sharing is carried out. The results show that in the case of centralized decision-making, the KS efforts of suppliers and manufacturers are the highest, and the knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits of GSC are also the best. The cost-sharing mechanism can realize the Pareto improvement of GSC’s knowledge stock and emission reduction benefits, but the cost-sharing mechanism can only increase the supplier’s KS effort level. In addition, this study found that the price of carbon trading and the rate of knowledge decay have a significant impact on KS. The study provides a theoretical basis for promoting KS in the GSC and LC technology innovation.
