Abstract

Purpose

The present research aims to analyze the influence of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) on the Sustainable Performance (SP) of Spanish wineries, examining the intermediary roles of Circular Economy Capability (CEC) and Green Ambidexterity Innovation (GAI) within this primary relationship. In particular, the study seeks to answer the following Research Questions (RQs): (RQ1), does GSCM exert a positive impact on wineries’ SP? (RQ2), does CEC play a mediating role in the interconnection between GSCM and wineries’ SP? And (RQ3), does GAI function as a mediator in the interplay between GSCM and wineries’ SP?

Design/methodology/approach

The research utilizes Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the hypothesized theoretical model using primary data collected from 196 Spanish wineries from September 2022 to January 2023.

Findings

The results reveal a positive relationship between GSCM and SP in Spanish wineries, as well as the existence of positive partial mediations of CEC and GAI in this main linkage, which allows an affirmative answer to the three RQs formulated.

Originality/value

Distinguished by its innovative exploration, this research marks a pioneering effort in the uncharted field of scrutinizing CEC and GAI as mediating factors in the GSCM-SP nexus, thereby enriching the existing body of knowledge and opening new avenues for future academic research on sustainability in the wine industry.
