    Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide an in-depth exploration of the opportunities and challenges towards the uptake of sustainability practices (SPs) among manufacturing firms in Uganda. SPs are among the notable solutions in overcoming the challenges facing the global environment, society as well as prosperity for all. The paper utilized a qualitative research design following a review approach of relevant scientific, technical as well as government policy papers. From the review, enforcement of the available environmental laws and policies, customer’s awareness, technological innovation, organisational culture and strict governance, emerge as key drivers towards the uptake of SPs in this country. However, weak legislations and enforcement in some instances, lack of sufficient resources to invest in new technologies, high costs of financing, organisational culture, and limited awareness emerge as the main challenges facing the uptake of SPs. Furthermore, our study provides policy implications that could mitigate the challenges identified especially in a least developed country, Uganda.

    Abstract: The purpose of this article is to establish whether all the dimensions of institutional pressure matter for sustainability practices of manufacturing medium and large firms using evidence from Uganda. The study was cross‐sectional and quantitative in nature. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey of 102 manufacturing firms. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS‐SEM version 3. This study fosters the understanding of sustainability practices, as it provides insights on whether all the dimensions of institutional pressure matter for sustainability practices of manufacturing firms in Uganda. Results revealed that all the institutional pressure dimensions (coercive pressures, mimetic, and normative pressures) do matter for sustainability practices of the manufacturing medium and large firms in Uganda. This implies that institutional pressures are a cornerstone for sustainability practices.

    Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the association between the dimensions of intellectual capital (IC) and sustainability practices (SP) within the context of manufacturing medium and large (ML) firms in Uganda. The study aims to shed light on whether and how different dimensions of IC contribute to the adoption and implementation of SP by these firms. Design/methodology/approach This study utilized a cross-sectional and quantitative approach, collecting data through a questionnaire survey from a sample of manufacturing ML firms. The collected data underwent analysis to identify patterns and relationships using the SmartPLS structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Findings The findings demonstrated that the three categories of IC (human, structural and relational capital) influence the SP of ML manufacturing enterprises in Uganda. This suggests that IC is a critical component of SP. Practical implications Manufacturing enterprises should use their IC to create strategies for sustainable solutions, such as creating new, ecologically and socially responsible products and services and improving current ones to lessen their environmental effect. Originality/value This research advances knowledge of SP by revealing if all aspects of IC are significant for the SP of manufacturing enterprises in Uganda.

    Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the evidence of causality between economic growth and electricity consumption expenditure in Uganda for the period 1986 to 2017, aimed at contributing to literature on this topic and inform energy policy design in the country. Unlike previous studies on the causal link between energy consumption and economic growth, this paper introduces in capital stock as an intermittent variable in the causality framework. In this paper, we employed Johansen (1988, 1995) multivariate Cointegration and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) based on Granger causality tests. Findings revealed a bi-directional causality between electricity consumption and economic growth in the long-term and distinct causal flow from economic growth to electricity consumption in the short-term and long-term Granger causality from capital stock to economic growth, with short-run feedback in the opposite direction. Therefore, the Government of Uganda should implement conservation policies only through reducing energy intensity and promoting efficient energy use to avoid decline in output but also strengthen its efforts towards capital accumulation in order to realize sustainable economic growth and meet the desired goal of sustainable energy for all.
