“…The influence of an organization's internal environmental policies on green logistics management resonates with earlier research highlighting the pivotal role of executive intent in promoting and charting the direction of green logistics activities that align with government regulations. This corroborates the findings of [30,47]. For Hypothesis 3-financial ability in an organization to implement green change positively affects green logistics, we found that the standardized path coefficient value is γ = 0.084.…”

“…Thus, we conducted a review of previous literature on organizational social responsibility or sustainable development policy. The review found that there are studies on employee perceptions of organizational internal environmental policy [41], innovation and sustainable development [42], top executives' intentions to encourage organizational ability to comply with of the environmental practice standards [43], employees' intentions toward green innovation management and human resource practices [9], stimulation of voluntary compliance with organizations' green policies [44], stimulation for companies to adopt the ISO 14001 is an international certifiable environmental management [45] and ISO 9000 framework was created as a quality management system standard, service and process performance measurement and improvement promotional policy in practice [46,47]. According to an examination of the relationship between organizational internal environmental policy and green logistical management, there is a study of an organization's top executive related to the company response to green logistics and the green supply chain [39].…”

“…Practical changes and the transformation of green logistics management often hinge on government policies [39]. Similarly, organizational policies play a crucial role in fostering an environment conducive to enhanced environmental care and sustainability practices [47]. Additionally, an organization's financial capacity, willingness to invest in environmentally responsible consumption, and its reputation within the industry can significantly influence its ability to effectively implement green logistics management practices.…”

Background: Environmental responsibility is a critical focus in business and production. International partners have urged Thai businesses to adhere to global standards in environmental and social accountability. Green logistics management focuses on minimizing costs and boosting competitive efficiency in the industrial sector, while also promoting environmental protection. This study investigates the factors influencing green logistics in the motor vehicle industry. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection from 1638 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to identify causal links impacting green logistics effectiveness. Results: Findings indicate that government and organizational environmental policies, a company’s financial ability to implement green initiatives, commitment to eco-friendly investment, and public environmental attitudes significantly and directly affect the efficiency of green logistics. Conclusions: This research provides valuable insights for car manufacturers into key factors in green logistics management. These insights can help in developing strategic plans to achieve environmental sustainability in the context of future market competition.

“…Environmental management systems (e.g., based on ISO 14001) contribute to the environmental dimension of SD, mainly by protecting the environment by preventing or mitigating adverse environmental impacts (e.g., operational efficiencies through better utilization of resources and waste management systems) and reinforcing businesses' license to operate and legitimacy with stakeholders [12,21,50,[91][92][93][94].…”

Strategic CSR: Framework for Sustainability through Management Systems Standards—Implementing and Disclosing Sustainable Development Goals and Results

This study proposes a framework to integrate sustainability within management systems standards and subsequently implement and disclose sustainable development (SD) goals and results. Moreover, it investigates the SD goals (SDGs) and results (SDRs) that Portuguese organizations with integrated management systems (IMSs) disclose to their interested parties. The study, supported by content analysis, highlights that four most frequently disclosed SDGs are “life on land” (50.0%), “industry, innovation, and infrastructure” (47.1%), “responsible consumption and production” (47.1%), and “partnerships for the goals” (47.1%). The four SDRs most frequently disclosed are “employment” (82.4%), “economic performance” (79.4%), “anticorruption” (64.7%), and “occupational health and safety” (61.8%). Hence, SDG disclosure emphasizes the environmental dimension, while SDR disclosure highlights the social dimension (economic dimension present in both SDGs and SDRs). Finally, the disclosure of SDGs and SDRs in institutional reports presents a positive and strong correlation that is statistically significant. Overall, the contributions of this research are twofold. First, it highlights the awareness of SD goals and results publications within organizations with certified management systems standards, therefore supporting the integration of the SDGs within those organizations, and second, it stimulates the demonstration of their impacts on the SDGs (the SDRs).

“…footprints (El Haddadi et al, 2021;Tuffour et al, 2023). By integrating environmental considerations into procurement practices, organizations can significantly reduce their ecological footprint and contribute to achieving SDG goals 3, 7, 8, and 13 (Krieger & Zipperer, 2022;Mungkung et al, 2021;Opoku-Mensah et al, 2023). However, the implementation of green procurement faces challenges, including misunderstanding of the concepts, inadequate procurement policies and guidelines, and fragmented decision-making (Fang et al, 2020;Mojumder et al, 2022).…”

Green procurement plays a crucial role in mitigating emissions, promoting sustainable practices, and achieving the objectives of keeping global warming below the 2°C threshold. However, the implementation of green procurement faces significant challenges. Despite the recognized importance of sectoral collaboration, cross‐sectoral engagement (CSE) has not yet been widely acknowledged as an essential principle in green procurement implementation. This study aims to address these implementation challenges by developing a comprehensive decision‐making framework for CSE in public–private partnership projects, with a focus on advancing sustainable development goals. The research identifies and prioritizes barriers to CSE from multiple theoretical perspectives, employing an integrated approach that combines the Method Based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and the Combinative Distance‐Based Assessment (CODAS) method. The results reveal three primary factors hindering cross‐sectoral engagement: conflicting stakeholder interests and priorities, power imbalances, and communication gaps and language barriers. To promote effective collaboration, policymakers are urged to invest in capacity building initiatives that enhance stakeholders' understanding of green procurement principles and encourage their active participation in achieving sustainable development objectives. Theoretically, this study has, for the first time, developed a CSE framework that can be used to promote green practice implementation, integrate four theories to holistically access barriers to cross‐sectoral collaboration, and show the integration of the MEREC CODAS MCDM technique.
