Development and validation of a questionnaire to identify the barriers to adopting green transformation

Abstract

In view of growing environmental concerns, each organisation now places a substantial emphasis on adopting green, sustainable, and responsible investments in addition to increasing profits and promoting environmental harmony. This study's primary objectives are to analyse the value of businesses' green investments and identify the barriers to implementing/adopting green transformation. The questionnaire development process involved a literature review, focus group discussions, expert evaluation, and pilot testing. This article opens up new avenues of research in this area. Consequently, further research could define the observed barriers to green transformation in detail. Furthermore, new research can determine which barriers deserve more consideration and assess their influence on the green transition. In addition, future studies in this field may find new challenges or inventive techniques for overcoming those previously recognised. Hence, green transition could have a good impact on lowering pollutants and mitigating global warming.
