    (Uganda Christian University, 2023) Francis Balikagira.N.
    The study investigated the role of Green Procurement practices in the profitability of Supply chain (A case study of Kampala Cement Company). The general objective of the study was to assess the role of Green procurement practices in the profitability of Supply Chain at Kampala Cement Company in Mukono District, it was guided by three objectives To analyze the impact of environmental criteria on operating income, to analyze the influence of local and sustainable sourcing on the return on assets and to assess the role of supplier evaluation the return on investments A population of 50 employees from Kampala Cement Company, Mukono was targeted and a sample of 44 respondents was used. A simple random sampling technique and purposive sampling technique were used and all the members of the finite population were given equal chances to be included in the sample since the target respondents were either engaged or had an idea about internal controls on financial performance of commercial banks, these were in a better position to respond to the research questions appropriately. This removed the possible bias that may have arisen as the result of research favoring some members of the population. Data was collected using Questionnaires as a research instrument. A conclusion about the relationship of the variables revealed that Green procurement strategies play a complex and dynamic relationship with supply chain profitability that is influenced by a number of important factors. As mentioned below, integrating environmental criteria, supplier evaluation, and local and sustainable procurement is crucial to achieving successful business outcomes. Resource consumption, waste production, and environmental impacts are all decreased when strict environmental requirements are incorporated into the purchase process. This not only supports sustainability objectives but frequently lowers costs due to increased operational effectiveness
