Abstract

In the digitalization era, costs can be minimized and operations get fast for a sustainable environment. To compete in this modern era and manage operations, the supply chain shifted to smart technology to meet the goals of CSR for a sustainable environment. IoT has a great influence on the close-loop logistics operations in firms. This paper investigates the benefits of IoT in closed-loop logistics operations’ effects on the goals of CSR for a sustainable environment and how the use of smart technology impacts the operations of CLSC to meet the goals of CSR for a sustainable environment. For data, we get the data of firms that are on close-loop logistics and firms that are using smart technology for their operations. regression for analysis in STATA. Results show that firms that are using smart technology for their operations are achieving more CSR goals for a sustainable environment. The Internet of Things will not instantly contribute to the accomplishment of CSR targets, despite the fact that it has a direct and positive influence on closed-loop supply chains (CLSC). The CSR goals are not directly relatowith the internet of things; nevertheless, the internet may be utilized as regulatory or assisting tools in order to achieve them. CLSC helps to change the sustainability measures in the environment. . Firms should shift to the closed loop supply chain to minimize the resources and better places for businesses to achieve CSR goals for a sustainable environment
