Abstract

Interesting because: This research highlights the critical role of coercive and mimetic (institutional) pressures in addressing environmental concerns through supply chain collaboration (SCC) among manufacturing supply chain (SC) partners. Further, it underscores the importance of adopting eco-friendly practices in manufacturing to reduce environmental degradation, comply with regulations, and enhance operational performance.

Theoretical value: This study contributes to institutional theory and stakeholder theory by validating the influence of coercive and mimetic (institutional) pressures on manufacturing SCC and its impact on environmental and operational performance. It broadens the application of these theories by highlighting how external institutional forcesshapeinternalprocessesforsustainablepractices.Thestudyrefinesthetheoretical understanding of SCC by introducing environmental performance as a mediator and encouragesfurtherexplorationofcontextualfactorsinsustainabilitypractices.

Practical value: This study provides actionable insights for practitioners to adopt green manufacturing practices by highlighting the roles of various SC players and their contributions to achieving SDG-12 and SDG-13. It offers a framework for managers to handle institutional pressures, enhance collaboration, and improve environmental and operational performance. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of government regulations and policies in fostering collaboration and driving sustainability in manufacturingSCs.
