Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examines the importance of Technological Opportunity Capability (TOC) in promoting the implementation of Digital Technologies (DT) and its consequent influence on Circular Supply Chain Capability (CSCC) and Corporate ESG Performance (CESGP) in the corporate textile manufacturing industry in Pakistan. Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and the Dynamic Capability Theory, the research formulates and evaluates an all-inclusive roadmap connecting technological preparedness and sustainability results. After using a structured questionnaire, 424 managerial respondents provided data, and the suggested relationships were estimated with the help of SmartPLS. The results indicate that TOC has a strong positive impact on the implementation of digital technologies, which, in its turn, positively affects CSCC, and, consequently, the corporate ESG performance is improved. In addition, digital technologies are identified as crucial in enhancing sustainable supply chain practices and propelling high-quality ESG results. The outcomes highlight the sAdd Contributortrategic value of harnessing the power of technology and digitalization to attain sustainability goals, especially in line with Sustainable Development Goal 12. The research adds to the literature by combining technological and sustainability lenses and providing feasible ideas to managers aiming to improve ESG performance by leveraging digital and circular supply chains efforts.
