Green creativity, waste reduction, pollution control, industrial sustainabilityAbstract
This research abstract provides an overview of the impact of green creativity on industrial sustainability initiatives based on a literature review of relevant studies. The review encompasses a range of research articles that explore the relationship between green creativity and sustainability outcomes in various industrial contexts. The key findings from the literature review, including the positive influence of green creativity on organizational sustainability, pollution control, and environmental management. Studies emphasize the importance of fostering a culture of creativity, integrating green technologies, and implementing green HRM practices to enhance sustainability efforts and reduce environmental impact within organizations. Furthermore, research acknowledges limitations within the existing literature, such as the need for more cross-industry studies, longitudinal research, and standardized measurement tools to assess green creativity's impact on sustainability consistently. Recommendations for further research are proposed, including the exploration of cross-industry studies, longitudinal assessments of green creativity, the development of standardized measurement tools, interdisciplinary research approaches, and investigations into the policy implications of promoting green creativity in organizations and industries. In conclusion, this research uunderline the critical role of green creativity for driving industrial sustainability initiatives and environmental stewardship, providing a foundation for future research to advance our understanding of how green creativity contributes to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility in industrial settings.
