Abstract

Sustainability is the main issues now days. Depletion of resources and harm to environment is the results of negligence of firms. After strict national and international environmental policies firms are interested to initiate and implement green objectives to attain sustainable performance. The aim of current study is to investigate mediating role of environmental responsibility between the green supply chain management practices and sustainable performance through lens of RBV and NRBV. Population of the study was health managers, and health related academicians. Non-probability snow ball sampling technique was used. The data was analyzed in PLS-SEM. The findings revealed that green manufacturing has insignificant influence on sustainability and environment responsibility and environment responsibility does not mediate amid green manufacturing and sustainable performance. It is concluded that environmental responsibility is essential factor to obtain
sustainable performance. The current study has open doors for the future studies and future researchers can use more complex models by adding mediators and moderators in the model such as supply chain responsibility and can report more sophisticated findings.
