Sustainability is one of the fastest-growing research areas globally. Irrespective of industry and economic activity, it is the need of the day. This study examines the impact of green process innovation and green production on sustainability in Pakistan and India's cement and plastic manufacturing industries. The study also addresses the moderating role of environmental awareness, which increases the effect of green productivity and green innovation towards sustainability. The research is based on a quantitative approach to addressing the issue in question. Primary data were collected via a closed-ended questionnaire from 657 employees of Pakistan and India's plastic and cement manufacturing industries, and were analyzed via partial least square structural equation modeling via SmartPLS. The findings show that green productivity and green process innovation have a significant impact on sustainability, while environmental awareness also plays a significant role in sustainable practices in the cement and plastic manufacturing industries of Pakistan and India. The results are helpful for policymakers, industries, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations to ensure sustainability through green process innovation, green productivity, and environmental awareness.

The traditional supply chain system included smart objects to enhance intelligence, automation capabilities, and intelligent decision-making. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are providing unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency and reduce the cost of the existing system of the supply chain. This article aims to study the prevailing supply chain system and explore the benefits obtained after smart objects and embedded networks of IoT are implanted. Short-range communication technologies, radio frequency identification (RFID), middleware, and cloud computing are extensively comprehended to conceptualize the smart supply chain management system. Moreover, manufacturers are achieving maximum benefits in terms of safety, cost, intelligent management of inventory, and decision-making. This study also offers concepts of smart carriage, loading/unloading, transportation, warehousing, and packaging for the secure distribution of products. Furthermore, the tracking of customers to convince them to make more purchases and the modification of shops with the assistance of the Internet of Things are thoroughly idealized.

This paper presents a systematic review that examines the influence of human resource management (HRM) on financial performance in cooperative enterprises, utilizing the PRISMA approach. To gather relevant resources, we formulated a search strategy using predefined keywords such as "HRM", "Financial Performance", and "Cooperative". After applying the inclusion criteria (full articles, online accessibility, English language, and relevance to the topic), 26 articles were selected for review. The findings of this analysis reveal a positive relationship between HRM practices and financial performance, with HRM driving both efficiency and profitability. High-performing HRM functions enhance employee productivity while ensuring personnel welfare and improving the organizational climate. Modern HRM practices are crucial in increasing employee engagement, fostering innovative cultures, and improving operational efficiency. These practices directly affect financial performance by linking employee engagement with product quality, profitability, and retention. Based on the studies reviewed, this paper contributes significantly to the existing literature and offers key conclusions that can be drawn from the findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
