Importance of environmental policy on firm performance for the textile industry: A contextual study of Pakistan

Global warming and air pollution are severe threats to humans and ecosystems. While some of these issues, particularly those on a small scale requiring low-cost behaviors, may be relieved by developing and implementing environmental policies, it is clear that legislative measures and behaviors requiring a significant degree of sacrifice are required. The goal of this research is to highlight the aspects that can contribute to improve organizational performance in Pakistan’s textile industry. Through the moderating function of environmentalism, the study examines the impact of public participation, government regulation, and organizational environmental management systems (EMSs) on environmental and organizational performance The findings show that public participation, government regulation, and the organizational EMS all have a significant impact on both environmental and organizational success. Data were collected via a survey questionnaire. Smart-PLS-3 was used to evaluate the data. Furthermore, if environmentalism is regarded as a moderator, the overall influence on organizational performance will be greater. Public participation, government regulations, and an organization’s EMS are all seen to have a substantial influence on both environmental and organizational success.
