Impact of Green Supply Chain Management Practices on Organizational Performance in The Mining Industry Of Ghana

Abstract

Sustainable supply chain procedures have become a top focus in corporate operations as a result of government regulations and rising environmental consciousness among shareholders. Organizations are being encouraged to embrace these practices in order to improve their environmental reputation and maintain their competitiveness in the global market. The purpose of this research is to investigate how Green Supply Chain Management (GSM) strategies impact both organizational performance and environmental sustainability in Ghana's mining sector. Descriptive research was conducted to investigate the relationship between GSCM practices and organizational performance, with data evaluated using descriptive statistics and the Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS). The study employed questionnaire surveys, which were widely used in the literature, to assess the impact of GSCM practices on organizational performance and environmental sustainability in the mining industry. The research was conducted at three Ghanaian mining enterprises. The research involved 35 personnel, and the results may be applicable to other mining businesses and institutions in Ghana. Green supply chain management, according to the data, has a positive influence on the organizational performance of mining firms in the Western Region. Mining companies with more GSCM drivers have a better likelihood of enhancing organizational performance than companies with fewer drivers. Mining companies that have a greater degree of GSCM implementation are more likely to succeed than those that have a lower level of implementation. Given that organizations with a stronger presence and depth of green supply chain management techniques outperform their peers in terms of organizational performance, the government should encourage the adoption and implementation of green supply chains through tax breaks to lower firms' production costs.
