“…Generation Y (5191.5) has a prodigious observation that there is a growing retail business utilizing sustainability efforts. Corroborating with the findings of Maziriri (2020) andPekovic et al (2021), if businesses use green advertising strategies, it will have a positive impact on a firm's competitive advantage. Consumers should also be cautious in determining if retail businesses are genuine about their sustainability efforts because of the probability of greenwashing.…”

Exercising eco-centric business practices enhances the efficiency of cost-saving of a business as this will boost human capital (Pekovic et al, 2021). This strategy eventually benefits the environmental impact reduction of a business (Shen et al, 2020).…”

The Philippines has been struggling with waste management. Many companies are looking after the birth of eco-conscious brands to make retailing sustainable by creating ways to reduce waste in packaging and product offerings. The study used an explanatory mixed-method wherein the researchers identified the eco-centric practices of retail businesses from its thematic analysis and deployed an online survey. The respondents for this study are composed of 136 Generation Y and Generation Z that have a significant role in decision making in buying products from retail stores. The primary purpose of this study is to conduct a generational comparison between Generation Y and Z’s purchase intention in retail stores that have eco-centric business practices and to analyze if there is a significant difference. The results revealed insufficient evidence to support the claim that there is a substantial difference between the two generations in their perception. There are five main areas in eco-friendly products over its alternatives, attraction, appreciation, price perception, and general observation of retail businesses. This research shall validate the need for retail businesses in the Philippines to adopt an eco-centric business practice and be used for future business growth and improvement by targeting the generation involved in this research.

“…Scholars and academicians have identified GTI among the major strategic outcomes (or advantages) of effective GKM deployment because it enables organizations to discover technologies that contribute to energy conservation, emissions reduction, ecoproduct creation, and overall sustainable development (Benabdellah et al, 2021;Singh et al, 2022;Singh & El-Kassar, 2019;Yaoteng & Xin, 2021). Organizations with a GTI orientation not only gain an edge over its competitors but also improve the environment and the social well-being of all stakeholders (Pekovic & Bouziri, 2021;A.

Elsewhere, GKA has been increasingly recognized as a GKM precursor, especially in academic research, where it is considered a potent organizational capability due to its capacity to use big data analytics to respond to and predict changes in the external environment (Nimmagadda et al, 2018;O'Connor & Kelly, 2017;S.…”

Increasing regulatory obligations to adapt and execute environmentally friendly operations make it critical for businesses to pursue strategies that can strengthen their competitive edge in the market. Academics and practitioners alike have recently gravitated toward exploring how knowledge acquisition activities might improve business outcomes. To address this growing research interest, this study investigates the critical roles of green knowledge acquisition in enhancing green knowledge management and green technology innovation activities in improving corporate environmental performance, positioning resource commitment as a moderator. The research model has been assessed using structural equation modeling with survey data from 283 Indian manufacturers, demonstrating that green knowledge acquisition significantly impacts green knowledge management and green technology innovation. The statistical findings also show that green technology innovation acts catalyzes the translation of green knowledge management into improved corporate environmental performance. The results demonstrate that resource commitment moderates green knowledge acquisition's interaction with green knowledge management and green technology innovation, providing practical insights enabling managers to focus on planning, allocating, and budgeting resources for effective green practices that can contribute to improving corporate environmental performance.

Using social network theory and resource dependence theory, this study undercovers whether independent directors' interlocks contribute directly to the corporate financial performance of Chinese firms or indirectly through green technology innovation. Furthermore, we scrutinize how the environmental protection management system affects the path between independent directors' interlocks and green technology innovation. Using a sample of 4902 listed firms in China over the period of 2010–2022, the results indicate that firms possess interlocks through their independent directors play a crucial role in fostering performance and developing low‐carbon technologies. With an environmental protection management system, the impact of the independent directors' interlocks on corporate green technology innovation is stronger, indicating the significant role of corporate internal environmental context. This study offers practical implications for firms and policymakers by demonstrating how independent director interlocks can simultaneously advance corporate and national economic and environmental objectives.
