Enhancing Sustainable Supply Chain Performance Through Circular Economy Practices: The Mediating Role of Supply Chain Capability and Flexibility

This paper investigates how circular economy practices influence sustainable supply chain performance, considering mediating factors like supply chain flexibility and capabilities. Using a descriptive survey design, data was gathered from 120 managers across ten manufacturing firms in Greater Accra, Ghana. All respondents completed and returned their questionnaires. The findings show that circular economy practices significantly enhance the sustainable supply chain performance of these firms. Additionally, supply chain capabilities and flexibility were found to partially and positively mediate this relationship. The study concludes the need to invest in building supply chain capabilities and fostering flexibility to maximize the benefits of circular economy initiatives.
