Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify the two-dimensional grid based on the importance and performance of each exogenous latent variable in their relationship with the endogenous latent variable, which is pertaining to organic products and their impact on purchase intention. Design: The study is developed with primary data and some of the published sources, review papers, case studies, and internet sources. The sampling design chosen is non-probability sampling and nature is purposive sampling. The sample size is observed through the second-generation analytical technique PLS-SEM by sung Smart-PLS 3.0 software. Finally, the sample size derived is 640. Findings: The IPMA results show one unit increase in a construct health concern may increase the constructs performance followed by perception, perceived behavioural control, environmental concern and subjective norms Moreover, when the constructs indicator is measured using IPMA, the results shows PER 4 with the medium value of 71.797 with one unit more may increase the value to 72.797. Similarly, SN 7 shows the value of 69.297 with one unit added may increase the value to 70.297. Originality value: The standard PLS-SEM analysis gives information on the relevant weights of constructs in the structural model that explain other constructs. Executing PLS-SEM requires identifying the target constructs. However, to identify which construct and indicator have a total effect and average performance need to be targeted since the higher value constructs and indicator need not be considered, as their value is higher, there is no need to improve it. Furthermore, low-value constructs and their indicators cannot give better results due to the lower value, which can be ignored.

Running a green business in India and other developing economies is indeed a challenging job for the producers involved in this business. In a green business environment, the company may re-design the product attributes since the usage of the harmful chemical may be prevented and scarce resources may not be exploited. The main objective of this case study is to assess the factors that are associated with running a green business in India and other developing economies. This case study also highlights the issues related to the green business. This case study is developed by using secondary data to assess the factors that influence green business. The secondary data was obtained from another exhaustive literature review of journals and internet sources. The developing economies strive hard to achieve green business since it has been a necessity for these countries to depend on natural resources. The important aspect here is developing countries depend on both the economic and social factors which have a major impact on environmental factors. Moreover, developing countries are mainly dependent on natural resources for their potential and growth so as to give stiff competition for the developed economies in a global market. In addition, many developing economies face challenges basically related to power, water, ecological problems, social and economic problems and also problems related to weather and climate change. The challenges associated with green business also depends on cost analysis, where it is quite expensive for a poor and developing economy to reach the initial cost too since the usage of basic technology is lacking. Moreover, the treatment for wastewater, water resource management, treatment for disposal of effluents and toxic waste are not successfully utilized. The developed economies need to import modern technology and technical knowledge from other countries because of the lack of their own technology and technical skills. Now a day’s many countries have the knowledge of green growth which thereby helps to improve the economic standards of the countries. The government has to take certain measures such as the provision of subsidies which may support the challenges of green growth and development. The short-term subsidies may not benefit more since it may hamper the production and demand by raising the price and cost. But as for the long term is considered these reforms may provide more effectiveness in productivity and thereby lead to changes in technologies.
Sustainable development has become one of the key principles for succeeding human development goals while at the same time strengthening the power of natural systems in order to provide ecosystem services which the economy and society depends upon. The society’s end result is where the use of resources and the living conditions prolong to meet the human needs without hindering the balance of the natural systems. If ever focusing on Environmental sustainability, it will have a concern with the natural environment and how it remains diverse and productive. For natural resources are derived from the environment, the state of water, air, soil are of particular concern. GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) has an important role to form a framework of sustainable development in businesses, government and other organizations. The goal of the sustainable development process is to achieve the status of ‘sustainability’ in all communities. It is important to make compatible with developed and flexible using the standards laid down by GRI therefore in the long term,strategies’ of sustainable development should assist the continuance of the system of biodiversity of city and suburbs through the active protection and sustainable utilization of natural sources. Therefore in order to achieve sustainability, it is necessary to make structural reforms as regarded in the standards set by GRI and to create some deep and fundamental changes in all levels of communities.
