After COVID-19, financing for emerging nation reserves in renewable energy bases was deemed a crucial aspect of sustainable development. Investing in biogas energy plants can be highly beneficial for lowering the use of fossil fuels. Using a survey of shareholders, investors, biogas energy professionals, and active social media participants in Pakistan, this study evaluates the intentions of individual investors to invest in biogas energy plants. The primary purpose of this study is to increase investment intent for biogas energy projects following COVID-19. This study focuses on financing biogas energy plants in the post-COVID-19 era and evaluates the research's assumptions using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study employed the technique of purposive sampling to acquire data for this investigation. The results indicate that attitudes, perceived biogas energy benefits, perceived investment attitudes, and supervisory structure evaluations inspire one's propensity to finance biogas vitality plant efforts. The study found a link between eco-friendly responsiveness, monetary benefits, and investors' actions. The aspiration of investors to mark such reserves was set up to be unpretentious by their risk aversion. Conferring to the facts, evaluating the monitoring structure is the critical factor. The previous studies on investment behavior and other forms of pro-environmental intent and action yielded contradictory results. In addition, the regulatory environment was evaluated to see how the theory of planned behavior (TPB) affects financiers' objectives to participate in biogas power plants. The consequences of the study indicate that feelings of pride and discernment of energy expansively affect people's desire to invest in biogas plants. Biogas energy efficacy has little effect on investors' decisions to invest in biogas energy plants. This study offers policymakers practical ideas on enhancing investments in biogas energy plants.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may lead to many innovations being implemented simultaneously. However, studies on how concurrent innovation techniques affect performance is scarce. To study the complementarity/substitutability in the effectiveness of various forms of innovation, this study examines the combined usage of six different types of innovation. Data from a sample of 1200 Chinese manufacturing Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were used for the empirical investigation. We find that digital platforms have a positive effect on the capacity reconfiguration of SMEs and business model innovation. This study examines the relationship between stakeholder interactions, reverse knowledge sharing, open innovation (OI) initiatives, and SMEs' performance in several Chinese industries. The results show that OI initiatives are statistically negligible compared with SMEs' total performance. We also discover that the link between platforms and CSR business model innovation is mediated by the reorganization of developmental capacity and reconfiguration of substitutional capabilities. In addition to having significant managerial ramifications for policymakers and CSR, to assist businesses in executing technological solutions, these results provide a theoretical contribution to the study of digital platforms and SMEs.
