What the paper says
Companies nowadays are forced to make strategic and tactical reverse logistics decisions in order to successfully achieve high sustainability performance. One of the most effective tools to solve the waste problem is reverse logistics, especially when mixed with digital technologies. This study investigates the impact of strategic and tactical reverse logistics on environmental and social performance in Egyptian firms. It uses resources-based view theory to examine the role of internal green integration and blockchain technology as a moderator. The research findings show that internal green integration significantly mediates the relationship between strategic and tactical reverse logistics and environmental and social performance. Blockchain technology can also moderate the direct impact of tactical reverse logistics on internal green integration and the direct impact of internal green integration on social performance. The study provides important implications for decision-makers and policymakers on the role of reverse logistics and blockchain technology in enhancing the performance.
