Abstract:

This study examines the nexus be environmental sustainability and organisational performance within the Directorate of Procurement, The Gambia. Using a quantitative survey of 60 employees, with 54 valid responses analyzed through descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and regression, the findings reveal that environmental sustainability has significant positive effect on organisational performance in the study area. Results show that sustainable procurement enhances efficiency, compliance and competitiveness, while also strengthening institutional reputation and accountability. Anchored on the Resource-Based View and Stakeholder Theory, the study demonstrates that integrating practices such as green procurement policies, supplier audits and community engagement fosters long-term organisational success. The research contributes to the limited literature on sustainable procurement in The Gambia and provides practical insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to align procurement with national development goals.
