Abstract

As environmental consciousness is growing, the concept of sustainability has become increasingly central to business strategies across sectors. Organizations are required to implement environmental-friendly practices and to develop sustainable strategies not just for the health of the environment but also for sustaining the industry for the future. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the influence of green supply chain management on sustainability development. Questionnaire was used to collect data from 250 customers of sachet water producing companies in Onitsha, Anambra State, while Regression Analysis was used to analyze the data with the aid of SPSS version 23. The results of the hypothesis testing showed that green supply chain management has a positive influence on sustainability development. The study recommends that since green chain management has a positive influence on sustainability development, businesses should develop a clear strategy for adopting green supply chain management, invest in the necessary resources and technology and build a culture of sustainability within the organization. Policymakers should provide incentives and support to encourage businesses to adopt green supply chain management.
