Abstract

Sustainability is now a strategic priority for all companies. Business functions face local, regional and global environmental pressure to include sustainability in every decision. This includes tackling economic, social and environmental issues to boost competitiveness. We examine how Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) affects Competitive Advantage (CA) and Organisational Performance (OP). Data from 221 Ethiopian manufacturing industries is collected and analysed. This quantitative study uses descriptive and causal methodologies. Direct surveys are given to 221 production managers and supervisors. In addition, SmartPLS 4.0 used structural equation modelling to analyse data. The statistical research shows that SSCM boosts competitive advantage and organisational performance. Furthermore, statistics show that competitive advantage and organisational performance are linked. SSCM and OP are indirectly affected by competitive advantage. Results indicate SSCM implementation can boost competitiveness and OP. The study informs managers and researchers on SSCM practices and organisational success in commercial and industrial settings.
