Green Growth and Corporate Sustainability Performance

Green growth or environmentally sustainable economic growth is imperative in light of the current environmental crises and resource depletion. Malaysia is currently facing a conflict between economic growth and environmental conservation. Greening the economy could integrate the social quality, as a pillar of sustainable development, with economic and environmental priorities. Indeed, it may improve the human well-being while significantly reducing environmental scarcity. The problems of sustainability are becoming a global concern by many manufacturing companies especially in the automotive industry. Thus, this paper attempts to discuss on past literature on how green growth could improve the corporate sustainability performance. A research framework will be proposed to examine the relationship between green growth and corporate sustainability performance in the automotive industry. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
