Abstract

The amalgamation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is a crucial approach for attaining sustainability across many sectors. This study examines the interaction between EMS and GSCM, highlighting how their alignment may improve operational efficiency, diminish environmental impact, and bolster organizational resilience amid increasing environmental and regulatory concerns. The report used a content analytical technique using secondary sources to conduct a case analysis of certain sectors within the Nigerian business ecosystem. Grounded in Elinor Ostrom’s Social-Ecological Systems (SES) framework, this paper concludes that the implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) practices in Nigeria reflects a growing commitment among organizations to adhere to global sustainability standards. It was also advised, among other things, that the environmental regulatory framework be reinforced, alongside the deployment of technology, community participation, and the promotion of teamwork.
