Abstract

The study assessed the impact of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) on the performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study employed a mixed method approach. Three hundred and twenty manufacturing firms were used for the study. Closed and open-ended questionnaires were used. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyse the data on the impact of SSCM on the performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The statistics generated were organised in tables using IBM SPSS 26 and AMOS 25. The study revealed that the mean of the responses to the statements on environmental performance ranged from 4.422 to 4.574, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM strongly impacted the environmental performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The mean of the responses to the statements on economic performance ranged from 4.469 to 4.594, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM had a strong impact on the economic performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The mean of the responses to the statements on social performance ranged from 4.495 to 4.587, which indicated that participants agreed that SSCM strongly impacted the social performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana.
