How Does Environmental Sustainability Commitment Affect Corporate Environmental Performance: A Chain Mediation Model
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsIt is clear from the article that the quantitative methodological preparation of the authors is excellent. The number of returned questionnaires is also large enough to achieve adequate methodological thoroughness. Unfortunately, the "story" is much weaker, as is the methodological rigor. The hypotheses are mostly superficial generalities and the questionnaire is also a set of generalities. The authors believe that a company has an environmental attitude. I think the employees have or don't have an environmental commitment, which should be investigated. The use of numerous acronyms is also not justified. A company executive who is not an insider cannot understand what the article is about. At least this should be corrected if the article is published.

Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for Authors- From the studies presented by the authors, it is not sufficiently substantiated which factorial experiment according to the Harman method was used to evaluate the obtained experimental data - exploratory or coninformative.
-
Page 10, line 365. It is clear that Cronbach's alpha is the best known and most commonly used reliability coefficient, but recent research recommends against its unconditional use. Reliability coefficients based on structural equation modeling are often recommended as an alternative.
-
Some literary sources cited by authors over 50 years old (this is 10% of the total number). Others, which occupy the majority of the literature over 15 years old. It is advisable for authors to update the literary sources of modern scholars on this topic.

Reviewer 4 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe paradox of time really warrants the question "How can environmental Sustainability Commitment (ESC) transcend symbolic gestures to genuinely improve corporate environmental performance?".
I expected to read something about financial commitment, commitment to carbon emissions and footprint, energy usage, waste, and environmental responsibility in the introduction.
Line 333 – Explain in details the Independent Variable
Line 336 – Better explain the mediator variable (GR and GOIE).
Line 347 – 348. Is there any doubtful variable measurement scale in discussion that should have been considered?
Line 368. Fine that the Alpha between 0.879 – 0.922 for all variables were consistent with the requirements of the test. Also, the descriptive statistics were in order.
Line 406. Further explain the Hypothesis testing “H1 was supported (β=173, p<0.001)”.
Line 433. Separate Discussion from Conclusion. In the discussion kindly triangulate with the results in relation to the Planned Behaviour Theory and organizational Change Theory.
Line 434 – Review and make sure you are consistent in the recapitulation of the aim of the study.
Line 436 – Are you saying that you investigated the relationships between ESC and CEP from the perspective of corporate subjective initiative?
Is the performance concern the same as corporate subjective initiative?
