The authors would like to alert the reader of edits in their article that will provide better transparency of their past studies and their relations to this current research. The article cited above uses the same database as some of their previously published research [1-13]. To assist in providing readers’ this context, the following edits have been made to the article:

P.2 “Firms can timely obtain talents, equipment, and technical information from supply chain partners (Wong et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2020),”.

This text should be edited to “Our past research supports that firms can timely obtain talents, equipment, and technical information from supply chain partners (Wong et al., 2011; Zhao et al., 2020)”.

P.4 “GSCI aims to coordinate and manage the information of suppliers and customers to the greatest extent reducing firms’ negative effect on the environment, thereby promote sustainable development (Zhou et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “Our past research results indicate that GSCI aims to coordinate and manage the information of suppliers and customers to the greatest extent, reducing firms’ negative effect on the environment, thereby promoting sustainable development (Zhou et al., 2020).”

P.4 “This nurtures mutual trust and recognition among supply chain partners to share information timely and frequently (Zhao et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “As our past research shows, GSI and GCI nurture mutual trust and recognition among supply chain partners to frequently share timely information (Zhao et al., 2020)”

P.6 “This information includes the needs and preferences of suppliers and customers for the environment and the new environmental knowledge and technology to improve the ability of environmental innovation (Graham, 2018; Zhao et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “Our previous research indicates that this information includes the needs and preferences of suppliers and customers for the environment and new knowledge and technology to improve the ability of environmental innovation (Graham, 2018; Zhao et al., 2020).”

P.7 “By information sharing with customer and supplier, firms can improve their information processing capabilities (Zhou and Benton, 2007), which makes firms effectively utilize customer and supplier resources to facilitate environmental innovation (Du et al., 2018; Wong et al., 2020; Zhao et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “Our past research has confirmed that by information sharing with customers and suppliers, firms can improve their information processing capabilities (Zhou and Benton, 2007), which assists firms to utilize customer and supplier resources to facilitate environmental innovation (Du et al., 2018; Wong et al., 2020; Zhao et al., 2020).”

P.7 “Such information help firms constantly improve their existing technology combination and ultimately benefit their incremental environmental innovation (Huang et al., 2014; Zhao et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “Our previous research has indicated that such information help firms constantly improve their existing technology combination and ultimately benefit their incremental environmental innovation (Huang et al., 2014; Zhao et al., 2020).”

P.7 “The expanded scope of information acquisition by GSI and GCI includes both ideal and unsatisfactory information, which jointly affect firm performance (Feng et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “Our past research findings support GSI and GCI's expanded access to information, including desirable and undesirable information that affects company performance (Feng et al., 2020)”

P.8 “The five provinces have different geographical bases in China, which are suitable for representing different market conditions and economic development levels (Feng et al., 2020; Jiang et al., 2018).”

This text should be edited to “The five provinces of China have different geographic bases, that we have seen in our past research can represent different market conditions and levels of economic development(Feng et al., 2020; Jiang et al., 2018).”

P.17 “GSI and GCI are universally recognized by academia and industry in solving environmental problems and obtaining sustainable competitive advantages for firms (Feng et al., 2020; Zhu and Sarkis, 2004).

This text should be edited to “GSI and GCI are universally recognized by academia and industry in solving environmental problems and obtaining sustainable competitive advantages for firms (Zhu and Sarkis, 2004)

P.19 “These findings support the existing literature that GSCI positively effects information sharing (Feng et al., 2020; Huo et al., 2021).”

This text should be edited to “These findings support our past research and the existing literature that GSCI positively affects information sharing (Feng et al., 2020; Huo et al., 2021).”

P.20 “Our research further supports those external resources are not the key to radical environmental innovation in the firm (Wang and Feng, 2022).”

This text should be edited to “This confirms our previous finding that external resources are not the key to radical environmental innovation in the firm (Wang and Feng, 2022).”

P.20 “According to the existing literature, the relation between GSCI and environmental innovation is either positive or negative, and the two effects are not considered simultaneously (Zhao et al., 2020).”

This text should be edited to “The relation between GSCI and environmental innovation is neither positive or negative, and the two effects are not considered simultaneously, our previous study suggested that both effects should be considered in the future (Zhao et al., 2020).”

The authors hope that these edits will assist the reader in having a more comprehensive understanding of their past research and its relationship to this published article.
