Abstract

In recent years, we have seen a manifold increase in natural calamities resulting from the continual degradation of our environment. The overuse of fossil fuels and other natural resources has contributed towards increasing global warming. This research investigates the environmental challenges posed by the overuse of natural resources and the subsequent carbon footprint. It emphasises the critical need for green technology and cleaner production practices to overcome environmental challenges. Focusing on developing countries, it investigates the effects of green technology and cleaner production-practices on energy efficiency, waste reduction and corporate sustainability in Pakistan's manufacturing industry. Through a cross-sectional analysis, it investigates the influence of sustainable practices on corporate sustainability in diverse manufacturing sectors. The findings reveal a positive correlation between the adoption of green technology and cleaner production-practices and a reduction in energy consumption, highlighting the significant role of resource commitment in enhancing the effectiveness of green technologies. However, the study notes a lack of significant impact of green technology on waste reduction and the broader concept of corporate sustainability, while cleaner production-practices show a beneficial influence on sustainability measures. This study contributes to the understanding of sustainable practices in emerging economies and underscores the importance of top management support and resource allocation in achieving environmental and economic sustainability goals.

生态转型：用绿色技术和清洁生产实践塑造制造业的未来

近年来，我们看到由于我们的环境不断退化而造成的自然灾害成倍增加。化石燃料和其他自然资源的过度使用加剧了全球变暖。本研究调查了自然资源的过度使用和随之而来的碳足迹所带来的环境挑战。它强调迫切需要绿色技术和清洁生产实践来克服环境挑战。它以发展中国家为重点，调查了绿色技术和清洁生产实践对巴基斯坦制造业的能源效率、减少废物和企业可持续性的影响。通过横断面分析，它调查了可持续发展的做法对企业可持续发展在不同的制造业部门的影响。调查结果显示，采用绿色技术和清洁生产做法与减少能源消耗之间存在正相关关系，突出了资源承诺在提高绿色技术有效性方面的重要作用。然而，该研究指出，绿色技术对减少废物和更广泛的企业可持续性概念缺乏重大影响，而清洁生产做法对可持续性措施显示出有益的影响。本研究有助于理解新兴经济体的可持续实践，并强调了高层管理支持和资源分配对实现环境和经济可持续发展目标的重要性。

期刊介绍： In recent years there has been a growth of specialist journals within geological sciences. Nevertheless, there is an important role for a journal of an interdisciplinary kind. Traditionally, GEOLOGICAL JOURNAL has been such a journal and continues in its aim of promoting interest in all branches of the Geological Sciences, through publication of original research papers and review articles. The journal publishes Special Issues with a common theme or regional coverage e.g. Chinese Dinosaurs; Tectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean, Triassic basins of the Central and North Atlantic Borderlands). These are extensively cited. The Journal has a particular interest in publishing papers on regional case studies from any global locality which have conclusions of general interest. Such papers may emphasize aspects across the full spectrum of geological sciences.
