“…The representative software has AMOS (based on maximum likelihood estimation) and SmartPLS (based on partial least squares) software. Compared with AMOS, SmartPLS software has less demand for the number of samples and does not require sample data to be consistent with the normal distribution (Khaksar, Abbasnejad, Esmaeili, & Tamošaitienė, 2016). Moreover, the purpose of this study is to focus on exploration and explanatory analysis, while the importance of theoretical knowledge is relatively small.…”

Sustainable construction is vital for the embodiment of sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility practice is critical for construction firms to realize sustainable construction. However, the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility is still in its infancy, and previous studies have not developed comprehensive methods for evaluating sustainable construction performance. We first established a conceptual corporate social responsibility framework based on the five aspects of sustainable construction: economic, environmental, social, stakeholders, and health and safety. Then, a set of criteria assessing sustainable construction performance was identified through a literature review and interviews with industry practitioners. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect primary data and identify the significance of the proposed criteria. Furthermore, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to statistically validate the conceptual model and identify key factors for sustainable construction. The results revealed that health and safety, and environment are the key aspects, while site inspection and audits, providing a healthy and safe working environment, effective emergency management procedures and safety supervision, compliance with environmental laws and regulations, reducing pollution and waste, and corporate environmental management system are critical to achieving sustainable construction. Our study underlines the link between sustainable construction and corporate social responsibility, improves the evaluation accuracy, and provides new guidelines for practical applications.

This paper explored advancement in what performance factors affect Green Supply Chain Management practices of the firms. Data was collected through survey questionnaire, adopted and disseminated to 200 different employees working in different organizations based in Karachi that were associated with supply chain management activities. Data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. Results showed that environmental and financial performance of organization has no statistically significant association with green supply chain management. Whereas, organizational performance produced a positive and significant impact. The results are significant for managers of manufacturing organizations in improving the practices of green supply chain management and achieve competitive position in the industry.

“…According to a study by Khaksar, et al (2016) on the effect of green supply chain management practices on environmental performance and competitive advantage, green supplier was negatively associated with green performance. The results also suggest that green purchasing as evaluated by purchasing recycled products with reused materials in green packaging in order to reduce waste besides the existence of formal policy on green purchasing increased green performance.…”

In recent years, business organizations, governments, regulatory bodies, academicians and researchers alike have become increasingly interested on how business operations are impacting on the environment, society and the economy in general. Stringent packaging and environmental regulations are forcing firms to be more responsible and accountable for residual products that result from their day to day operations even after product sale. Stakeholder pressure arising from; investors, shareholders, customers, and non-profit organizations continue to push sustainability into supply chain, making the green initiatives to be seen as very critical to the firms to address key impacts in product life cycle, representing opportunities for retailers to minimize risks, cut costs, enter new markets (Wollmuth & Ivanova, 2014). Reverse logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient, cost effective flow of raw materials, in-process inventory, finished goods and related information from the point of consumption to the point of origin for the purpose of recapturing value or proper disposal. Remanufacturing and refurbishing activities also may be included in the definition of reverse logistics (Stevenson, 2007). Reverse logistics concept refers to the processes involved in the management of used or unused product returns from points of consumption to the producing firm with the aim of recovering and potentially generating value and also for purposes of proper disposal. According to Mwaura, Letting, Ithinji & Orwa (2015), reverse logistics refers to as the return of products by customers to the producing company with the purpose of recovering and potentially generating value from any unused products or components.
