Drawing on stakeholder theory, signalling theory and social identity theory, this study examines whether environmental sustainability–related employee value proposition attributes influence talent attraction through the moral meaningfulness of work and whether career stage conditions the relationship between moral meaningfulness and attraction. A three‐wave, time‐lagged survey of 242 part‐time higher education students with prior professional experience in the UAE shows that environmental sustainability–related employee value proposition attributes positively predict moral meaningfulness, which in turn predicts talent attraction. Moral meaningfulness significantly mediates the relationship between environmental sustainability–related employee value proposition attributes and talent attraction. Career stage significantly moderates the relationship between moral meaningfulness and talent attraction, with a stronger association among early‐career participants. However, the index of moderated mediation is not significant, indicating that the indirect effect through moral meaningfulness does not statistically differ across career stages. The findings clarify moral meaningfulness as a psychological mechanism linking environmental sustainability–oriented employer branding to talent attraction while identifying career stage as a boundary condition specifically for the moral meaningfulness–attraction relationship.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Navigating Carbon Accounting in Manufacturing From Compliance to Decarbonisation","authors":"Natanael Bolson, Alexandra Rosioru, Marie Wells, Justyna Rybicka","doi":"10.1002/bse.71696","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.71696","url":null,"abstract":"Carbon accounting is increasingly mandated in manufacturing; however, its implementation remains fragmented between corporate reporting and product‐level assessments, limiting its effectiveness for decarbonisation. This study analyses the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom and the European Union, identifying a structural misalignment among reporting requirements, methodological choices and operational decision‐making. To address this issue, a decision‐oriented carbon accounting framework is proposed to enable consistent, decision‐relevant application across manufacturing systems. The framework connects reporting drivers, system boundaries and data availability to methodological selection through a structured decision architecture. It introduces data specificity as a guiding principle to facilitate the progression from spend‐based screening to hybrid and activity‐based life‐cycle approaches across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. Through a unified structure, the framework integrates corporate‐ and product‐level accounting, coherent under overlapping regulatory regimes. Scenario‐based applications illustrate that aligning methodological complexity with data availability enhances comparability, hotspot identification and supply chain engagement. These improvements support targeted interventions in production systems and the development of credible carbon reduction strategies. The framework repositions carbon accounting from a compliance‐driven activity to a core capability for cleaner production, enabling actionable emissions reduction measures and supporting industrial decarbonisation pathways.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using PLS‐SEM to test the measurement and structural models, including mediation and moderation. CEP did not directly improve sustainable performance. However, GSCM fully mediated the CEP–SP relationship, indicating that circular practices must be operationalized through supply chain processes to create sustainability outcomes. Furthermore, GOC strengthened the positive effect of CEP on SP, highlighting the importance of supportive internal culture. ED also amplified the CEP–SP link, suggesting that dynamic external conditions enhance the effectiveness of circular initiatives.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from 448 survey responses were analyzed using covariance‐based structural equation modeling (CB‐SEM). The results demonstrate that green value co‐creation partially mediates the link between employee intentions and innovation outcomes. Furthermore, the study finds that market and policy orientations positively moderate the impact of employee intentions on value co‐creation. At the organizational level, leadership collaboration awareness and a corporate green innovation culture strengthen the transition from value co‐creation to innovation performance. These findings offer critical theoretical insights and practical pathways for firms seeking to alleviate environmental pressure and achieve sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing upon the dynamic capability view, the study examines the effects of research and development capability, big data analytics capability, information technology capability, innovation capability, and marketing capability on competitive advantage, alongside the moderating roles of organizational flexibility and entrepreneurial orientation. Data were collected through an online questionnaire survey involving 226 managers from medium and large manufacturing firms in Malaysia and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. An importance‐performance map analysis was additionally conducted as a complementary analysis to identify which capabilities constitute managerial priorities for strengthening competitive advantage. The findings reveal that all rigorously tested constructs, except marketing capability, positively influence competitive advantage. Entrepreneurial orientation positively moderates the relationship between innovation capability and competitive advantage, whereas organizational flexibility does not significantly moderate the relationship between big data analytics capability and competitive advantage. In addition, competitive advantage significantly improves both market performance and financial performance. This study contributes to the dynamic capability view literature by providing a broader understanding of how multiple complementary organizational capabilities support competitive advantage formation through the processes of sensing opportunities and market changes, seizing strategic opportunities through resource mobilization, and transforming organizational resources and routines under dynamic business environments. The study further extends contemporary strategy literature by highlighting the contextual roles of entrepreneurial orientation and organizational flexibility in influencing the effectiveness of dynamic capabilities within an emerging economy manufacturing context. From a managerial perspective, the findings suggest that manufacturing firms should prioritize capability alignment, innovation orientation, and digital capability development to sustain competitiveness and improve organizational performance under technological and market turbulence.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This integration can disrupt the traditional cost, time and quality metrics of project success. While research has extensively examined the technical feasibility (quality) and economic viability (cost) of secondary materials, time implications remain underexplored. This study employs a systematic literature review approach to identify key time‐intensive activities associated with the use of secondary materials in construction, their underlying causes and potential mitigation strategies. Through a review of 41 relevant publications, the study found that time‐intensive activities occur across the project life cycle, including planning, design, predemolition, demolition, waste collection and processing, procurement and construction. These time demands largely arise from misalignments between conventional construction workflows and the requirements of circular practices, coupled with a lack of enabling digital, regulatory, logistical and contractual infrastructures, which increase uncertainty. Accordingly, this study provides recommendations for seven key stakeholder groups, namely, clients, architects and design consultants, builders, demolishers, project managers, procurement managers and policymakers, to help reduce or strategically invest time in ways that better support the integration of secondary materials in construction.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mobilising AI Capability for Sustainable Supply‐Chain Transformation: The Mediating Role of Green Lean Six Sigma","authors":"Miraj Ahmed Bhuiyan, Muhammad Khalilur Rahman, Md Arafat Hossain, Ping Hu, Vincenzo Basile","doi":"10.1002/bse.71697","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.71697","url":null,"abstract":"This study examines how artificial intelligence (AI) capability can be mobilised as a strategic organisational capability for sustainable supply‐chain transformation. Integrating the Natural Resource‐Based View, Dynamic Capabilities Theory and Sociotechnical Systems Theory, the study argues that AI‐enabled sensing and decision support do not automatically translate into sustainability outcomes; strategic value emerges when technological resources, managerial competencies, human expertise and process routines are aligned. Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS) is therefore conceptualised as an organisational architecture that converts AI‐generated insight into disciplined problem definition, waste and variation reduction, process redesign, standardisation and continuous improvement. Survey data from 361 managers and executives in supply‐chain‐intensive organisations across multiple Southeast Asian countries and sectors were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. AI capability is positively associated with GLSS implementation, whereas GLSS is positively associated with environmental, economic and social supply‐chain performance. Significant indirect effects further show that GLSS acts as the transmission mechanism linking AI capability to all three triple‐bottom‐line outcomes. Because the estimated structural model did not include direct AI capability‐to‐performance paths, the evidence is interpreted as support for indirect effects rather than as proof of partial mediation. The study contributes to business strategy and sustainability research by explaining how an AI capability becomes strategically valuable when embedded in a sociotechnical improvement architecture. It also offers a staged managerial road map for harmonising AI investment, GLSS techniques and sustainable business transformation.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of 2958 firm‐year observations from 720 US publicly listed firms from 2010 to 2023, we find that a gap in green innovation between a focal firm and its top business rivals is significantly and positively associated with the focal firm's greater greenwashing but not green innovation. This effect is more pronounced when the firm is financially constrained, operates in a non‐carbon‐intensive industry, or faces stronger product market competition. These findings provide new insights for investors, policymakers, and scholars into the externalities, showing that rival firms' positive environmental initiatives may generate negative spillovers when focal firms respond opportunistically.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"195 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although prior research acknowledges supportive public‐sector involvement, there is a lack of understanding of how public organisations' roles evolve over time as industrial symbiosis initiatives develop. This study addresses this gap through a qualitative case study of a regional industrial ecosystem in northern Sweden. Drawing on 25 interviews with public organisations, support actors and producers, five distinct public‐sector roles are identified (policymaker, facilitator, knowledge broker/data provider, participant and financier). The study shows that roles shift across industrial symbiosis development phases, and a framework is developed that links role configurations to phase‐specific barriers. The study contributes by conceptualising public organisations as dynamic ecosystem actors and by offering a practical framework that helps public organisations to align roles with evolving ecosystem needs to support long‐term circular economy transformation.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three interconnected knowledge domains emerge: user and community practices; product design, manufacturing and business models; and policy and governance. Findings show that repair outcomes depend on the alignment of organisational capabilities, ecosystem actors, infrastructure and institutional conditions, while several potentially important actors remain underexplored. Integrating these findings, we conceptualise repair as an ecosystem‐dependent strategic capability for value retention and develop a framework explaining its enabling conditions and interdependencies.
