Summary: The study aims to investigate the impact of green logistics on the adoption of Circular Economy (CE) in the era of Industry 4.0 (I4.0). By implementing green initiatives, the logistics sector shows its strong concern for environmental issues and promotes sustainable logistics and circular practices to address critical issues such as waste generation, resource scarcity, renewable resource use, and climate change. The study examines the relationships between green logistics practices, I4.0 technologies, and CE adoption while also considering the moderating effects of institutional pressure and supply chain flexibility. The findings suggest that firms can enhance CE adoption driven by I4.0 technologies with green logistics practices as a mediator, and the moderating effect of supply chain flexibility is significant while the moderating effect of institutional pressure is insignificant. The study provides valuable insights for managers and contributes to the theoretical understanding of green logistics and CE adoption.

Summary: The concept of circular supply chain (CSC) has attracted significant attention globally as a solution to the sustainability issues in the manufacturing industry's supply chain operation. By integrating the principles of circular economy (CE) into the supply chain, organizations can achieve sustainable development goals. However, there has been limited research on implementing CSC in emerging economies. This study aims to identify and analyze the essential CE practices that contribute to the achievement of multiple SDGs in CSC management. The proposed framework combines Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (PF-AHP) and Pythagorean fuzzy combinative distance-based assessment (PFCODAS) techniques to determine the relative importance of CE practices and rank the SDGs resulting from their adoption. The research findings highlight the significance of 'government', 'management', and 'economy' initiatives in effective CSC adoption, with 'mitigate waste and enhance environmental sustainability' identified as the most critical SDG. The study also conducts sensitivity analysis to ensure the robustness of the proposed methods. Overall, this research provides valuable decision support tools for practitioners to efficiently execute CE practices and achieve various sustainability goals.

Summary: Environment sustainability is becoming a crucial social responsibility for organizations as consumers increasingly value environmental conservation. Organizations are leveraging technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and provide unique in-store experiences that engage consumers and enhance their interaction with brands. This study investigates the interplay between AI anthropomorphism, psychological ownership, and product usage barriers, within the context of green brands, and highlights the significant role of psychological ownership in building consumer relationships. The findings suggest that while green brand AI anthropomorphism may create product usage barriers, the presence of psychological ownership mitigates its negative effects and fosters positive consumer relationships.
