Abstract

Green manufacturing (GM) research has grown in recent years due to the perceived performance implications. However, the literature on the implications of GM practices in manufacturing firms, particularly in developing countries, is scant. This research addressed this challenge by examining the effects of GM practices on the green achievement (GA) of manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. This article conducted a mail-questionnaire survey and then used ordinal regression analysis to analyse the survey results obtained from 90 valid responses. Additionally, the authors developed a framework for theoretical implications. Three dimensions of green practices were evaluated: green products, green processes, and green supply and distribution. Except for green products, the findings indicate that all green practices' dimensions are positive and significant predictors of GA. This is the first study to examine how Ethiopian manufacturing industries implement GM practices, which can serve as a model for other businesses implementing environmental programs.
