(IF 12.5) Pub Date : 2024-06-26 Muhammad Usman Mazhar, Ana Rita Domingues, Gamze Yakar‐Pritchard, Richard Bull, Kate Ling
Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) are at the heart of the economy, representing the majority of businesses in the United Kingdom and the European Union, and employ a high percentage of people. With this positive impact comes an environmental footprint. SMEs account for around half (43–53%) of the greenhouse gas emissions, yet typically, they lack the support that larger organisations have in‐house

Using a historical lens to investigate sanctions against Apartheid South Africa, we found foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) lost out repeatedly during sanctions, almost always to the local economic elite. When MNEs departed, they often sold their assets to the local economic elite to salvage some value. To ensure continued operations (and thus payments to them), MNE continued supporting buyers

To achieve the sustainable development goals and a transition to the circular economy, we need to tackle the problem of single‐use packaging.

Addressing transition conflict of green manufacturing to sustainable manufacturing: A drivers‐based modeling strategy for improving business performance: An Indian experience Bus. Strategy Environ. (IF 12.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-31 Minhaj Ahemad Rehman, Dinesh Seth
Green manufacturing (GM) and sustainable manufacturing (SM) have become vital to counter environmental challenges. Industry, academia, and policymakers have been actively working to reduce the adverse environmental impacts of manufacturing. Though, used interchangeably, GM and SM are not the same but are related to each other. This fuels confusion and leads to conflict, as the transition simplifies
