Abstract: The last decade has seen growing interest in environmentally sustainable operations in emerging economies. However research into the drivers and outcomes of environmentally sustainable operations of manufacturing firms in Africa has been largely lacking. This study develops a research model which proposes that environmentally sustainable operations are driven by a leadership commitment to green practices and results in improved firm performance. Data to test to the research model was derived from a survey of 334 manufacturing firms operating in Ghana and was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results of the study confirmed that leadership commitment had a significant effect on environmentally sound operations, which in turn significantly impacted firm performance. The implications of the study are discussed.
