“…Li et al (2016) [27] analyzed survey data from 256 Chinese-based high-tech firms and proved that providing strong support for green product design and green supply chain processes could improve the firms' environmental and financial performance. People purchase green products because they prefer products that have optimal environmental characteristics to the usual products [28]. Because of the increasing customer demand for green products that can play a key role in the achievement of sustainable development goals, Dangelico (2017) [29] examined the relative importance of several motivations for the development of green products, the influence of different motivations and firm characteristics on green product features (radicalness and differentiation) and which factors affected the market performance of the green products.…”

While the rapid development of Chinese manufacturing SMEs has contributed significantly to economic growth, it has also resulted in environmental pollution and resource abuse problems. To resolve these problems, Chinese manufacturing SMEs need to accelerate their implementation of comprehensive green manufacturing (GM); However, this is a complex and arduous task as it involves government, enterprise and societal considerations. Therefore, it is has become imperative to identify Chinese manufacturing SMEs green drivers. Focusing on the current situation in China and using a combination of previous research and expert views, this paper comprehensively examines the development of SMEs in China to deconstruct the green driver dimensions. The identified drivers are then evaluated using a novel hybrid multi-criterion decision-making methods (MCDM), the evaluation criteria weights calculated using fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy TOPSIS employed to rank the green drivers. It was found that technology innovation, customer demand, incentives, regulations, supply chain pressure and public pressure were the most significant drivers for the implementation of GM in Chinese manufacturing SMEs. Finally, some managerial implications are given to assist the government, enterprises and the public focus on a few crucial drivers to ensure that the green transformation of Chinese manufacturing SMEs is scientific and efficient.

“…Growing environmental problems caused by industrialization have increased the environmental concerns of customers, communities and governments (Chiou et al, 2011). An increasing number of consumers tend to purchase and consume products that are presented in an environment-friendly way (Esmaeilpour & Bahmiary, 2017). Changes in consumer behaviour have helped the beginning of green revolution meant to avoid further harm to the environment (Juwaheer et al, 2012).…”

The current state of the environment encourages consumers to more responsible behaviour in the market. Consumers realize that through their purchase behaviour they can also contribute to the reduction of negative developments and betterment of the situation. In that context, our aim was to examine the selected aspects of environmental purchase behaviour of consumers in Slovakia. Our attention was focused on the environmental factors when purchasing products in general. The partial aim was to find out how consumers behave when purchasing environmental products with an emphasis on bio products and organic food. Secondary data analysis is supplemented by the selected results of the primary research from February 2017, which was conducted on the sample of 274 respondents from Slovakia. The obtained data were evaluated by selected statistical methods (Chisquare test, Friedman test, Wilcoxon test, descriptive statistics). The results of the research showed that environmental factors when purchasing products do not dominate among Slovak consumers. The frequency of purchasing selected environmentally friendly products (including bio products and organic food) does not seem important. Our research identified several drawbacks in environmental behaviour of consumers and mentioned the need for more environmental education among consumers and more intensive communication of environmentally responsible businesses in relation to their potential environmental-oriented customers.

“…In the context of current trends, the situation in the environment is increasingly deteriorating. With growth of human capabilities in recent centuries, the environmental equilibrium was disrupted (Esmaeilpour & Bahmiary, 2017). The environmental issue has emerged as one of the critical societal priorities (Howard-Grenville et al, 2014;Potocan et al, 2016) and as a new development strategy of organizations (Pham et al, 2019).…”
