Purpose: The notion of sustainability has attracted many researchers and practitioners' attention across the world. In a world where there is an increasing interest in protecting the environment, practitioners are encouraged to adopt sustainability and be environmentally conscious. In pursuit of this initiative, this study seeks to assess the extent to which manufacturing firms in Kumasi practice Green Supply Chain Management and whether the availability of financial resources plays a contingency role in the relationship between green supply chain management and firm environmental performance.
Methodology: The study relies on a quantitative research approach using a survey design. Data analysis was done using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS software.
Findings: The study concludes that financial resource availability moderates the relationship between green supply chain management and firm environmental performance. Therefore, an increase in financial resource availability has an influence on green supply chain management and firm environmental performance.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends contemporary innovative ways to improve upon green supply chain practices as they affect how the organization performs environmentally.
