An Assessment of Awareness and Attitudes towards Green Practices among Women-Owned Enterprises

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the response of catering suppliers to environmental sustainability initiatives. The sample was collected from women-owned small businesses catering, and the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used. The study found that attitudes play an important role in influencing the behavior of catering suppliers' sustainable practices. The finding also indicates that the caterers engaged in environmentally friendly techniques for processing food waste. However, their techniques varied. The results of this study can serve as a valuable guide for conducting green practice action research in the context of policy.
