To avoid the worst effects of global warming, countries agreed to limit warming below 2.0°C and ideally to 1.5°C preindustrial level. This requires countries to drop half of their greenhouse gas emission by 2030 and reach net-zero emission by 2050. In this regard, current study explores the role of green production as a mediator in the impact of managerial environmental awareness, customer pressure, and regulatory control on environmental performance. The data collected from 381 managers was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Results indicate that customer pressure, regulatory control, and managerial environmental awareness play a pivotal role toward green production, whereas only managerial environmental awareness among them directly influences environmental performance. Green production fully mediates the relationship from customer pressure and regulatory control to environmental performance. However, it partially mediates the relation between managerial environmental awareness and environmental performance. Similarly, the importance of green production for environmental performance is highlighted.

净零排放目标和管理环境意识、客户压力和监管控制对环境绩效的作用

为避免全球变暖的最坏影响，各国同意将升温限制在 2.0°C 以下，最好控制在 1.5°C 的工业化前水平。这要求各国到 2030 年将其温室气体排放量减少一半，到 2050 年实现净零排放。在这方面，当前的研究探讨了绿色生产在管理环境意识、客户压力和监管影响方面的中介作用环境绩效的控制。使用结构方程模型 (SEM) 技术分析了从 381 名经理收集的数据。结果表明，客户压力、监管控制和管理环境意识对绿色生产起着举足轻重的作用，而其中只有管理环境意识直接影响环境绩效。绿色生产充分调节了从客户压力和监管控制到环境绩效的关系。然而，它在一定程度上调节了管理环境意识和环境绩效之间的关系。同样，绿色生产对环境绩效的重要性也得到了强调。
