Abstract

Purpose: Reverse logistical methods are becoming more popular among corporations as a means of promoting environmental sustainability, raising concerns about environmental sustainability. Therefore, the study aims to assess the relationship between reverse logistics, environmental sustainability, and government support. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative research approach and descriptive research design. The study used a sample of 102 employees from firms in Accra Metropolis. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique in selecting the participants from the various firms in the Accra metropolis. A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to test the reverse logistics, environmental sustainability, and government support. Multiple regression test was used to analyze the impact of reverse logistics practices on environmental sustainability, the impact of government support on environmental sustainability and the moderating role of government support with reverse logistics practices on environmental sustainability. Findings: There is a positive and statistically significant impact of reverse logistics practices on environmental sustainability. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that organizations should focus on optimizing product returns, recycling, remanufacturing, and waste reduction processes through adopting reverse logistics and government support.
