Relation of environment sustainability to CSR and green innovation: A case of Pakistani manufacturing industry
Abstract
Abstract Although extensive studies have focused on the impact of different corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on environmental sustainability, few studies investigated the effects of CSR activities on environmentally sustainable development and green innovation. Yet, as a determinant of environmental strategies, green innovation haven’t received much attention. Therefore, this study explored how different CSR dimensions impacts on environmentally sustainable development and further on green innovation. Data were collected from 282 respondents belonging to the manufacturing industries of Pakistan from January 2019 to April 2019; and analyzed by adopting methods of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and grey relational analysis. As per study results, all dimensions of CSR were found positively significant towards environmentally sustainable development. Further, the environmentally sustainable development positively enhances green innovation. This research employed an innovative attempt to evaluate the ranking of these constructs by using grey relational analysis whereby it was found that CSR to environment had a stronger effect, whereas CSR to consumer had a weaker impact on environmentally sustainable development. The research findings suggest that CSR activities should be embedded in the organizational environmental strategies for green innovation, as all CSR dimensions had positive relations with environmentally sustainable development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
