Item Open Access THE APPLICABILITY OF CARBON EMISSION ESTIMATION WITH BIM ENVIRONMENT: SRI LANKAN CONTEXT(Ceylon Institute of Builders, 2025) Perera D.A.M.V; Allis C; Perera B.K.C; Lokuge AThe global construction industry is increasingly adopting sustainable practices and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impacts. Within this context, managing carbon emissions has emerged as a critical component of sustainable development, with Building Information Modelling (BIM) serving as a pivotal tool in this pursuit. While developed countries have already integrated BIM and carbon emission estimates, there is a notable opportunity for similar advancements in developing countries, potentially leading to significant progress within the industry. Hence, this paper aims to explore the applicability of implementing BIM for carbon emission estimations in the Sri Lankan construction industry. A comprehensive review of existing literature identified the importance of carbon emission simulations, BIM implementation strategies and estimation procedures in other countries. Further, this research involved a survey to assess the familiarity and experience levels of construction professionals with BIM tools for carbon emission estimations in Sri Lanka. Findings from the research point to Autodesk Insight as the primary software tool used within the industry. While the industry demonstrates an awareness of these processes, its progress is hampered by a lack of experience in using these technologies for carbon emission estimation scenarios and the absence of crucial databases such as Environmental Product Declarations. The study recommends enhancing industry capacity through targeted training and the adoption of advanced tools. It also encourages further research to assess the compatibility of BIM technologies in the local context, aiming to bridge the gap and drive sustainable transformation in Sri Lanka’s construction sector.Publication Embargo Review of Existing Literature on the Impact of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on Organisational Performance(University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication, 2026-01) de Zoysa, A.T; Ranathunga Arachchi, D.T; Gunasekara, D.C; Bandara, H.N; Refaie, C.S.R.B; Lokeshwara, A.ABackground: Green supply chain management (GSCM) has gained prominence as more organisations seek to strike a balance between the objectives of sustainable operations and financial performance. The importance of understanding the implications of GSCM practices for organisational outcomes is increasing, given mounting environmental pressures and the need to compete globally. Objective: This research assesses the impact of GSCM practices on the organisation's economic, environmental, social, and operational performance, and identifies key themes, theoretical considerations, and gaps in the literature. Methodology: The systematic literature review method was employed. Overall, 60 peer-reviewed articles published in the last 12 years (2013-2025) were retrieved from major academic databases, including Emerald Insight, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and Wiley. Strict cleaning and screening were based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The thematic synthesis was used as one of the data analysis techniques, with the emphasis on sampling characteristics and conceptual frameworks, methodological designs and reported outcomes. Consistency of the reviewed research, as well as the validity and reliability of the studies, were taken into consideration to ensure the trustworthiness of the findings. Results: As indicated in the review, GSCM practices are effective in enhancing operational efficiency, environmental performance, social responsibility, and economic performance. Firm size, organisational capabilities, institutional pressures, and supply chain integration are among the factors that moderate the effectiveness of GSCM practices. Conclusion: GSCM has continued to be a strategic force towards sustainable and organisational performance. Results attest to their important role in improving financial performance and environmental regulation. Unique Contribution: The research integrates emerging knowledge to provide a universal model of the complex nature of GSCM effects. It offers theoretical clarity, reveals emerging themes and creates gaps that will be filled by future research. Key Recommendation: Future research should involve cross-industry comparative experiences, sophisticated modelling, and an examination of the impact of digital technologies on the efficacy of GSCM.Publication Open Access The Green Pulse of Hospitality: Assessing Green Supply Chain Practices on Organisational Performance in the Sri Lankan Hotel Industry(Elsevier B.V., 2026-01-03) Bandara R.M.H.N; Ranathunga Arachchi R.A.D.T; Gunasekara L.D.C; De Zoysa N.A.T; Lokeshwara, Anuja A.; Refaie, Chapa S.R.B.In the modern competitive business environment, sustainability has become the key theme in organisational performance (OP), compelling organisations to adopt environmentally friendly operations in the business world. The hotel industry is a significant contributor to national economies, and it is steadily incorporating green practices to improve operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Though green supply chain management (GSCM) has been a subject of significant interest in manufacturing and logistic settings, GSCM in the hospitality industry, particularly in developing nations such as Sri Lanka, is still a largely unexplored area. To bridge this gap, the current study investigates the relationship between GSCM practices and OP with a particular focus on the moderating effects of hotel star classification. A cross-sectional, deductive research design was used, and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was the method of analysis. A web-based survey of 167 star-class hotels in Sri Lanka gained a high response rate of 88.44%. GSCM practices were represented as a second-order construct with five dimensions: eco design, green purchasing, internal environment management, investment recovery, and reverse logistics. The findings reveal that GSCM practices have a significant positive impact on OP. However, the star ratings of the hotels had no significant effect on this relationship, meaning the positive impact of GSCM practices are consistent across the industry. This finding indicates the need to investigate additional moderating variables such as ownership patterns and environmental certifications. Future comparative studies in various Asian nations with different cultural, legislative, and market settings may advance our understanding of GSCM practices in hospitality industry.
