Abstract: Globally environmental rising concern has directed organisations towards the sustainable development and environmentally sensitive practices. This paper reviews the current trend in 'green procurement' practices and conceptualises a strategic framework to further strengthen the linkage between the organisation's performance and green procurement adoption. Researcher(s) tested the theoretical framework and concluded that market pressure, leadership, regulatory framework and quality management are critical drivers which enhance customer satisfaction.

Keywords: green procurement; firm performance; partial least squares regression; PLSR; sustainable development; environmentally sensitive practices; sustainability; market pressure; leadership; regulatory framework; quality management; customer satisfaction. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
