Summary/Abstract: Green supply chain management (GSCM) is emerging as a key driverin Ghana’s renewable energy sector, yet its impact on firms’ performance remainsunderexplored. This study aimed to assess the effect of GSCM practices onthe competitiveness and financial performance of five leading firms in the sector.A quantitative, explanatory research design was employed, using linear regressionanalysis on annual report data from 2019 to 2023, analyzed with SPSS(v.26). The findings show that practices such as reverse logistics, organic sourcing,and investment in solar energy significantly enhance profitability (+26.8%, +17.7%,and +17.2%, respectively). However, high initial costs hinder broader adoption. Thestudy recommends government support through tax incentives to accelerate the growthof GSCM and contribute to Ghana’s low-carbon development goals.
