“…Also, the role of gender in the relationship between CSR activities and employees' green behaviour has not been studied whereas studies in Western countries show that women pay more attention to environmental issues than men (Strapko et al, 2016;Xiao & McCright, 2015). Accordingly, on one hand, in previous studies, the socio-demographic characteristics have been identified as moderating factors in the relationship between attitudes and behaviours of individuals (Ahmad et al, 2021;Burkhardt, 2020;Nhamo & Mukonza, 2020). On the other hand, Davidson and Freudenburg (1996) state that gender differences on environmental issues are not the same everywhere in the world.…”

Literature in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has mainly focused on customers, particularly on their loyalty, behavioural intent and satisfaction. That is, the effectiveness of CSR dimensions has been less considered by scholars. Hence, this research strives to explore the effect of CSR dimensions on the green behaviour among employees of food businesses in Iran. In this vein, the mediating role of green trust and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between the CSR dimensions and the green behaviour of employees have been investigated. The samples of this research included 415 employees of food businesses and companies in Iran. The findings reveal that the CSR dimensions (economic CSR, ethical CSR and philanthropic CSR) directly and indirectly-through the mediating variable of green trustplayed an important role in shaping the green behaviour of employees. In this study, the direct and indirect effects of legal CSR on green behaviour among employees were not confirmed. Furthermore, the results represent that the gender variable moderates the effect of the CSR dimensions on the green behaviour of employees, highlighting that economic CSR and ethical CSR played a prominent role in shaping the green behaviour of respectively males and females. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications of the research discussed the impact of green behaviour on producing environmentally friendly products in order to sustainable development in the food business.environmental policy, gender analysis, green trust, sustainable behaviour | INTRODUCTIONResearch highlights that food businesses are a major reason for environmental pollution, reflecting that the industry complies with minimum environmental regulations (Rahim & Raman, 2015). Nowadays, due to the rapid growth of demand for food, companies in this industry must take action to diversify and increase the production of their products (Junsheng et al., 2020). Therefore, consuming high amounts of energy, also lead to the production and emission of large amounts of CO 2 gas (Karakaya & Özilgen, 2011). The industry also pollutes water and produces large amounts of solid waste, mostly in the form of packaging, by-products, and household waste that are left in the environment (Rahim & Raman, 2015). To solve this problem, food companies must take action to implement environmental management systems and apply approaches to respond to the adverse environmental impacts of food production (Jafari-Sadeghi, Sukumar, &
