“…In this study, we term such practices as short-term sustainability practices. Nowadays, short-term sustainability is still the top priority for most manufacturers especially those in the developing countries (Laosirihongthong, Adebanjo and Tan, 2012).…”

Sustainability research has been expanding rapidly during recent decades. Such research takes various forms with the identification of mixed results. Even though there are several review articles on sustainability with valuable insights, the time dimension aspect of sustainability is totally missing in addition to lack of well-developed framework. This paper systematically reviews previous sustainability studies published in the refereed scientific journals for the past two decades to understand the evolution of sustainability issues in the business context and solutions proposed until now. The study categorizes the popular sustainability practices into short-and long-term practices based on the time effect, and link them with different forms of organizational capabilities and sustainability performance. The paper further proposes a two-dimensional sustainability framework that incorporates practices, capabilities and performance, and the balancing issues between short-and long-term sustainability. At the end, it suggests potential research directions for future research as well. Graphical abstract Highlights We systematically reviews the past two decades sustainability studies published in the refereed scientific journals  We use time dimension to classify and understand sustainability benefits Review of sustainability theories, practices, capabilities, and performance Classification of sustainability practices, capabilities, and sustainability performance Model & propositions development We categorized sustainability practices and performances into short-and long-term perspectives for effective managerial decisions  We propose research propositions relating firm's capability and its implementation of shortand long-term sustainability practices and sustainability performance.  We draw attention to the future role of organizational capabilities and their interactions with sustainability practices to achieve better performance.

“…However, Laosirihongthong et al (2013) mentioned reactive pressures and proactive drivers instead of internal drivers and external pressures that drive firms practicing GSCM.

“…Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM), which incorporates environmental thinking into SCM activities, has gained popularity in the academia (Laosirihongthong et al, 2013;Zhu et al, 2013) due to environmental degradation, increased CO 2 emissions and climate change threatening human existence and natural inhabitants (Hoskin, 2011). Lee (2015) mentioned that these challenges come from global environmental regulations, green consumerism and climate change.…”

“…Much of the debate on GSCM is to determine the drivers, motivations, or pressures in undertaking GSCM initiatives (Diabat and Govindan, 2011;Govindan et al, 2014) and its influences on organisational performances (Green Jr et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2012;Zhu et al, 2012;Laosirihongthong et al, 2013;Lee, 2015). There is also a growing research in the role of supply chain (SC) collaboration on sustainability (Vachon and Klassen, 2008;Ramanathan et al, 2014;Grekova et al, 2015;Gunasekaran et al, 2015).…”

This paper investigates the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) practices on the performance of UK food retail small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative approach using a nonprobability sampling of 84 participants was employed. Based on the literature review, five hypotheses were developed and tested using the partial least square-structural equation modelling (SEM-Smart PLS 2.03) approach. The reviewed literature revealed that key internal drivers (ID) and external pressures (EP) stimulate organizations to initiate GSCM Practices in UK food retail SMEs. Though empirical findings strongly supported the statement that ID influence GSCM practices but they did not show a significant relationship between EP and GSCM practices. Literature also suggests that practicing GSCM can help improve the efficiency, brand image (BI) and profitability, and thus improve the overall firm performance which is also empirically proved. This study helps enrich existing theories on SCM and organizational performance. As to practical impact, this study should facilitate SMEs in GSCM practices and thus help green the economy. While the findings of this study have limited generalizability as the data were collected from UK SMEs only and the sample size was comparatively small, this research establishes a foundation for further study in this domain.

The adoption of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) and its impact on firm's performance is gaining importance in both academic and corporate fields. While past studies found a positive relationship between GSCM and Corporate Environmental Performance (CEP), there is no evidence of either which are the green practices that improve CEP the most or the moderating roles that affect such relationship. In order to provide clarity as to which tools are key in leading to a stronger CEP, this study aims to examine how GSCM relates to CEP, under the effect of several moderating roles. To that end, 166 articles published between 2001 and 2023 were included in our meta‐analysis sample. Our central results reveal that the link between the variables is significantly positive, with investment recovery being the practice with the strongest impact. Moreover, it is confirmed that moderators do have an impact in this relationship. Practical implications are relevant for policy makers and upper management that is willing to introduce environmental thinking in their business strategy.
