Abstract
Abstract Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is the incorporation of ecological concerns into the inter-organisational exercises of supply chain management. The implementation of SSCM in the mining sector has been a slow process. The study was conducted to determine the challenges facing effective implementation of sustainable supply chain management within mining sector in Zimbabwe. The researchers employed a case study of mining sector, where descriptive data research method was utilized with a target population comprising 1000 companies and a sample of 91 organizations was obtained, using Slovin’s equation. The researchers adopted the convenience sampling technique which involved the choice of subjects who were well equipped with relevant information to the researchers focus. A convenient sample size of 40 mining companies in Zimbabwe was selected based on of researchers’ easy accessibility to them. The findings revealed that, presently there is absence of structural and organisational change to support implementation of sustainable supply chain management. The study recommends that the organisations and different stakeholders should ensure that there is structural and organisational change to support, improvement of legal and regulatory framework on environment, reduction of cost connected with green products and distribution of resources vital for effective implementation of sustainable supply chain management.
