| dc.description.abstract | The study aimed at examining the effects of green procurement practices on supply chain management in an organization; a case of National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC). It specifically focused on; assessing the effect of choice of suppliers on supply chain management of NWSC, examining the effect of adopting environmentally products on supply chain management of NWSC and establishing the effect of waste reduction of suppliers on supply chain management of NWSC. The study was carried out using a cross-sectional survey research design where quantitative research approach was also used. A sample size of 95 was gotten using Slovin’s formula although 80 of them responded to the study giving a response rate of 84.2%. The data was collected using questionnaires with employees of National Water and Sewerage Corporation. The study findings demonstrated that NWSC’s commitment to environmental sustainability is deeply embedded in its supply chain practices, as evidenced by its emphasis on selecting environmentally responsible suppliers, integrating sustainable practices, and prioritizing waste reduction. The significant positive relationships identified through Pearson’s correlation analysis highlight that NWSC’s focus on environmental criteria, green procurement, and waste management not only enhances the sustainability of its supply chain but also improves its overall efficiency and effectiveness. By implementing rigorous environmental standards, prioritizing renewable and energy-efficient products, and fostering effective waste reduction practices, NWSC underscores its role as a leader in green supply chain management and sets a benchmark for sustainability in the industry. Lastly, the study recommended the need for NWSC to continue and expand its rigorous environmental certification requirements for suppliers. The study also recommended the need for NWSC to further integrate and incentivize the adoption of renewable materials, energy-efficient products, and eco-friendly innovations within its supply chain. Finally, the study recommended the need for NWSC to implement more comprehensive waste reduction initiatives and monitoring mechanisms for its suppliers. | |
