    The Effect of Green Purchasing Practices on Financial Performance under the Mediating Role of Environmental Performance: Evidence from Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Balin, Ali Ibrahim; Sari, Kazim
    This study aims to examine the impact of green purchasing practices (GPP) on the financial performance (FP) of companies and the mediating role of environmental performance (EP) in the context of Turkiye, a developing country. GPP are represented by their all-related activities, such as green supplier selection (GSS), green supplier development (GSD), green supplier collaboration (GSC), and green supplier evaluation (GSE). Although much attention has been paid to GPP and their impact on FP in recent years, empirical evidence is still needed, particularly for companies in developing countries. For this purpose, this study explores the effect of GPP on FP and the mediating role of EP with survey data obtained from 455 companies in Turkiye. The findings reveal that GPP, in general, make a positive contribution to both the EP and FP of companies in Turkiye. However, the two GPP sub activities, GSD and GSE, do not have a significant effect on EP, contrary to our expectation. In addition, it is found that EP causes a significant increase in FP and plays a partial mediating role in the effect of GPP on FP. The insight gained from this study is that the increase in FP brought directly by GPP and indirectly through the increase in EP may offset the additional cost posed by GPP. In fact, this is an important finding in terms of overcoming the obstacles encountered in the transition to GPP in developing countries.

    Revisiting the impacts of green purchasing practices on environmental and economic performances: A case study for the Marmara region of Türkiye
    (Elsevier, 2025) Balin, Ali Ibrahim; Balin, Billur Engin
    The growing global emphasis on environmental sustainability and the role of businesses in addressing climate change has highlighted the importance of integrating green purchasing practices (GPPs) into supply chain management. This study investigates the impact of GPPs on environmental performance (EP) and economic performance (ECP) in companies operating within the Marmara Region of T & uuml;rkiye, which contributes 35 % of the national GDP and houses over half of its manufacturing industry. Addressing a gap in existing literature, the study holistically evaluates four sub-activities of GPPs-supplier selection, supplier development, supplier collaboration, and supplier evaluation-and examines the mediating role of EP between GPPs and ECP. A survey was designed and conducted with 233 purchasing managers from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises in the region to achieve these aims. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses ensured the reliability and validity of constructs, while regression analysis tested hypotheses and mediating relationships. Results reveal that while GPPs significantly enhance both EP and ECP, not all sub-activities have uniform effects. Notably, EP partially mediates the relationship between GPPs and ECP, demonstrating that environmental improvements can offset initial costs and enhance financial outcomes. These findings provide a robust framework for addressing challenges in transitioning to GPPs in developing economies.
