Green Procurement and the Performance of Organizations in Nigeria

This study examines the effect of green procurement practices on the performance of organizations listed on the Nigerian Exchange as of 2024. Employing a descriptive survey design, primary data were collected via structured questionnaires from a stratified random sample of 110 companies across manufacturing, construction, oil and gas, and service sectors. Secondary data were sourced from the Nigerian Exchange Group Annual Listing Report 2024 , National Bureau of Statistics 2024 , Corporate Sustainability Reports 2022–2024 , the Environmental Performance Index 2024 , and the Federal Ministry of Environment's Green Economy Policy Report 2023 . Data analysis integrating descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression SPSS v26.0 revealed significant positive relationships between green procurement and operational efficiency r = 0.642, p 0.05 , cost efficiency R² = 0.356, p = 0.000 , and environmental compliance R² = 0.466, p = 0.000 . Ethical considerations were observed, and limitations acknowledged. The findings underscore the dual economic and ecological benefits of embedding sustainability in procurement processes, informing policy and managerial practice. It was one of the recommendations of this study that Organizations should pursue ISO 14001, FSC, and ENERGY STAR certifications to strengthen procurement credibility and performance.
