Exploring sustainable logistics practices toward a circular economy: A value creation perspective

Chamari Pamoshika Jayarathna et al.

Summary: This study explores how the logistics sector incorporates sustainability practices towards a circular economy (CE). Through interviews with 14 logistics service providers, 47 sustainable logistics practices were identified and categorized into three key themes: environmental preservation, firm's dynamic capabilities, and social well-being. The findings highlight that economic value creation is the core benefit in the CE transformation, followed by environmental and social value creation.

A Multivariate VAR Model for Evaluating Sustainable Finance and Natural Resource Curse in West Africa: Evidence from Nigeria and Ghana

Olatunji Abdul Shobande et al.

Summary: The study investigates the importance of sustainable finance for the natural resource curse in Nigeria and Ghana, confirming the existence of a financial resource curse in these countries.
