Abstract

This study aimed to determine the impact of green operations practices in achieving environmental sustainability through intelligent quality management. The hypothetical plan was built according to the three variables of the study, in light of which the main and sub-hypotheses were developed. This study was applied and tested in the government sector of Ur General Company, affiliated with the Iraqi Ministry of Industry and Minerals. The questionnaire was used as a method to collect data from a sample of 290 individuals. The results indicated that there is a positive impact of green operations practices on environmental sustainability. Therefore, when the company conducts its operations while paying attention to the concept of the environment, it will produce green operations with many opportunities that can be developed. Based on the results that were reached, a number of recommendations were proposed, the most prominent of which was the interest in implementing green operations practices in the company sample of the study by developing all green practices that would work to reduce the environmental damage resulting from the organization’s operations from polluting emissions and waste of resources and energy.
