ABSTRACT: The realization of GSCM’s full potential faces obstacles, highlighting a disconnect between theoretical concepts and practical implementation. To bridge this gap, companies require more than just the desire to adopt eco-friendly practices; they need a well-defined strategic framework that fosters a culture of environmental responsibility. The study specifically targeted individuals in significant managerial positions, including top-level managers, as well as key personnel holding pertinent roles such as supply chain managers, procurement or purchasing managers, logistics managers, and operations managers. A sample of 100 manufacturing firms located in Ghana was used. The sample was drawn from a database complied by the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industries. In this study, a purposive sampling technique was utilized to carefully select one respondent firm from the manufacturing companies. The primary instrument for collecting data was a survey questionnaire, structured in a Likert scale format. Analysis of the collected data, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was chosen as the analytical framework. The study concludes that there is substantial evidence of the critical role played by green behaviour intentions and green organizational climate, as well as their interconnected dynamics, in shaping the adoption of green supply chain practices. These results enhance our understanding of these relationships and emphasize their significance within the realm of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
