A qualitative research approach was employed where interviews were conducted with 10 key informants in mining companies.

The study concluded that supplier training, product whole life cycle costing, procurement of recyclable products, and the procurement of environmentally friendly products have a positive effect on procurement efficiency in mining companies in Zimbabwe.
