Stakeholders’ Pressure On Implementation Of Environmental Practices Empirical Evidences From Textile Sector Of Sindh

There has been growing debate about the effectiveness and implementation of environmental practices to endorse the notion of sustainable development. This study investigates the impact of stakeholders’ pressure (SP) on Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (ECSR), Green Innovation (GI), and Environmental Strategy (ES).

This study further employs Knowledge Management Process (KMP) as a mediator to investigate the nexus among stakeholders’ pressure, ECSR, GI, ES, and KMP. Based on the 305 responses received from the large textile mills of Sindh Province, Pakistan, the SEM approach was applied for data analysis.

The study findings indicate that stakeholders’ pressure has a significant positive impact on KMP, ECSR, GI, and ES. Furthermore, KMP partly mediates the association among the study variables. The study findings validate the notable influence of SP on ECSR, GI, and ES to attain environmental protection results in the textile sector of Sindh, Pakistan.

The study findings offer valuable insights to practitioners, policymakers, and regulatory authorities to enhance internal resources such as KMP, ECSR, GI, and ES to boost ecological performance in emerging economies.
