Specific Environmental Practices Research Articles

Экологическое поведение в современной России: мнения молодежи Южного федерального округа (по материалам фокус-группового исследования)

Introduction. The article presents the results of a sociological study of opinions of young people in the Southern Federal District on the formation and development of environmental behavior, its formats available in modern Russia, as well as barriers on this path. The relevance of addressing the study of young people's assessments of their own capabilities in the field of environmental behavior is due to the low activity of young people in environmental practices with the often-formed demand for an environmental lifestyle. The purpose of the study is to identify degree of youth involvement in specific environmental practices; barriers to greening one's own life and the life of society; to identify main social institutions, whose activities are associated with the environmental expectations of young people. Methods. Empirically, the study is based on the focus group method conducted with young people in three constituent entities of the Southern Federal District: Rostov Region, the Republic of Adygea and the Republic of Crimea in 2021. The criteria for selecting participants, in addition to the region of residence, were age (15-29 years), type of main activity (study at school, college, university, work) and type of settlement where informant lives (city, village). Results and its discussion. The results of the study show that among Russian youth, the formation of the demand for an ecological lifestyle is recorded, while the real involvement in ecological practices is extremely low, and is limited, as a rule, by consumer practices. The main barriers to environmental behavior are informational, infrastructural and motivational. The main institutions that can and should influence the formation of environmental behavior include family, education and the state. The views of young people combine elements of statist understanding of the source of harmonization of environmental relations, and the conviction of the importance of the personal contribution of each citizen to the greening of their own life and life of society.

Effect of Eco Friendly Practices in Hospitality Industry

Recently, one of the biggest problem in world is greenhouse gas, because of still having problems, covering the global temperature change, and making the after the exhaustion of the gas, pollution, the prince of the powers of the partly strong, and for the promotion of funds to subsidize the consumption of the amount of waste. Hotels, such as the commercial trade, have a major impact on the environment. However, the hotel has the same proportion of mourning graduated development partner, ask whether to recommend a speech disability matters is very necessary to help Hoteliers green. The study measures the outlook in consumer activity. The case herein is has a fresh take on art with respect to the use of the construction of the exercises in Indian. The product is a quantitative method used, and a result in a structured manner to a secondary analysis expediency sampling was used. The study was conduct among cities of Delhi NCR. Fertilization will live only language to the behaviors and attitudes of consumers. Buyers of construction services that take advantage of specific environmental practices terribly chosen for their property. the operations of the types of study, uninitiated in the hotel, however, the quality of service they tend to belong to the cell which is offered to us. It was found that buyers were unwilling to pay more for the adoption of inexperienced practices. The construction trade will be necessary to create investment from an inexperienced trainees must be thought of as environmentally friendly. government purchases be an advantage to know the hotel recommends acting as a tax deduction. The study of the behavior on the client is to be measured, and, with a little experience, accessibility applications. Construction sector business model that immediately follows the consistent long-term objective of developing the proper hotels. It may be awkward, and urged for its operating practices are the most popular model.

Coordination to manage dependencies between logistics service providers and shippers

Purpose – Although it has been suggested that shippers’ demands regarding environmental practices appear to have an impact on the environmental work of LSPs, limited attention has been given to environmental practices in the relationships between LSPs and shippers. The purpose of this paper is to explore how dependencies between LSPs and shippers can influence the way in which environmental practices are coordinated in the relationships between them. Design/methodology/approach – Four dyadic case studies, each consisting of one LSP and one shipper, provide the empirical basis for this paper. Findings – Two types of dependencies are suggested as having an influence over the coordination of environmental practices in LSP-shipper relationships: dependence between LSPs and shippers as such; and dependence with regard to specific environmental practices. In addition, the environmental ambition of the actors is found to be of relevance when LSPs and shippers coordinate environmental practices between them. Based on these parameters, different coordination mechanisms for environmental practices in LSP-shipper relationships are discussed. Research limitations/implications – The research is limited to four cases in a Swedish context. Additional cases might provide other insights into LSP-shipper relationships and thereby lead to modifications of the proposed conceptual framework. Practical implications – The results can help both LSPs and shippers improve their work with environmental practices through the use of the appropriate coordination mechanisms in their inter-organisational relationships. Originality/value – Contrary to previous research, which mainly takes one party’s perspective, this paper takes a dyadic approach and thereby adds valuable knowledge to the inter-organisational aspects of LSPs’ environmental work.

The role of organisational learning in the adoption of environmental logistics practices: empirical evidence from Korea

This paper considers the potential role of organisational learning (OL) in the relationship between stakeholder pressure and the adoption of environmental logistics practices. It is believed that, as a strategic resource, OL explains how logistics firms address environmental challenges and thus attain their environmental aims. Accordingly, we employed a hierarchical moderated regression analysis using a data set of 127 Korean logistics firms. The findings suggest that high learning-oriented logistics firms are more capable of adopting specific environmental practices, which may be associated with creating sustainable competitive advantages.

Is ISO 14001 a gateway to more advanced voluntary action? The case of green supply chain management

Using Japanese facility-level data, we estimate the effects of ISO 14001 certification on the promotion of more advanced practices, namely green supply chain management (GSCM). Our results show that ISO 14001 promotes GSCM practices. Facilities with environmental management systems (EMS) certified to ISO 14001 are 40% more likely to assess their suppliers' environmental performance and 50% more likely to require that their suppliers undertake specific environmental practices. Further, government programs that encourage voluntary EMS adoption indirectly promote GSCM practices. These programs increase the probabilities that facilities will assess their suppliers' environmental performance and require suppliers to undertake specific environmental practices by 7% and 8%, respectively. Combined, these findings suggest that there may be significant but previously unnoticed spillover effects of ISO 14001 and government promotion of voluntary action.

Is ISO 14001 a Gateway to More Advanced Voluntary Action? A Case for Green Supply Chain Management

Using Japanese facility-level data, we estimate the effects of ISO 14001 certification on the promotion of more advanced practices, namely green supply chain management (GSCM). Our results show that ISO 14001 promotes GSCM practices, in that facilities with environmental management systems (EMS) certified to ISO 14001 are 40 percent more likely to assess their suppliers' environmental performance and 50 percent more likely to require that their suppliers undertake specific environmental practices. Further, we find that government approaches that encourage voluntary EMS adoption indirectly promote GSCM practices, in that the probability of facilities assessing their suppliers' environmental performance and requiring them to undertake specific environmental practices increases by 9 percent and 10 percent, respectively, if a government assistance program exists. Combined, these findings suggest that there may be significant but previously unnoticed spillover effects of ISO 14001 and government promotion of voluntary action.
