Abstract

Recently, manufacturing firms faced pressure from stakeholders to adopt environmentally friendly business practices, as it became necessary to identify environmental practices that enhance sustainability performance.As growing amount of studies have focused on environmental logistic management (ELM) practices that incorporate ecological thinking, these practices are expected to affect environmental impact of organizations. The aim of this study is to review the various literatures on the relationship between ELM practices, stakeholders pressure and sustainability performance. Furthermore, this study aims to propose a reasonable conceptual model to clarify the relationship between these three variables in the context of the Palestinian manufacturing sector. The research findings will be specifically imperative for manufacturing organizations with the aim of improving their sustainability.
