ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study
is to establish the relationship between Sustainability and TBL Performance in
Horticulture Sector in Kenya. The study adopts a descriptive research design. A
census of all the 25 registered horticulture firms within Nairobi and its
environs was conducted. The majority of horticulture firms in Nairobi and its
environs have adopted the TBL dimensions to a large extent. The authors faced
the challenge of lack of co-operation from the respondents either by failing to
receive back the questionnaires or complete refusal to give the authors
audience to present their case. The majority of the horticulture firms are
fully aware of the benefits of adopting TBL dimensions and firms that have
already embraced the three dimensions, have in mind of the relationship between
sustainability and TBL performance.
