Supply Chain Management, Sustainable Development Goals, Green ProcurementAbstract
Organizations, in order to remain resilient against turbulent environmental conditions and to adapt to competitive requirements, have no alternative but to create and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. The purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of green supply chain management practices on sustainable development goals (case study: Foundry Sand Supply Company). The statistical population of the study consisted of all employees of the Foundry Sand Supply Company, totaling 200 individuals, from whom a sample of 100 participants was selected based on the Cochran formula. The sampling method was random. Data were collected using a questionnaire, and the research hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the more effectively the company applies eco-design practices and employs environmentally friendly energy resources in the production process to control environmental risks, the better it can enhance organizational efficiency and productivity.
