GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN KENYA
Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of green supply chain management on performance of food and beverages manufacturing companies in Kenya.
Methodology: The study utilized a cross-sectional survey approach, focusing on senior procurement managers from 246 food and beverage firms in Kenya. A basic random sampling design was employed, resulting in a sample size of 150 senior supply chain managers. Data were collected through self-administered and semi-structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including regression analysis, correlation, and hypothesis testing. SPSS version 28 was used for data processing, and the results were presented in tables.
Results: The study found a statistically significant positive relationship (R = .526, p = .000) between green supply chain management and the performance of Kenyan food and beverage manufacturing companies, with green supply chain management accounting for 27.6% (R² = .276) of the performance variance.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study emphasizes the need for food and beverage manufacturing managers to adhere to green supply chain management protocols to enhance performance.
Keywords: Green supply chain management, performance, Green purchasing, Green logistics, Green packaging, Green design
