Green Supply Chain Management and Sustainable Transportation for Retail Distribution in Angola

Nowadays in the increasingly competitive global market, consumers are placing more pressure on organizations to provide high-quality products and services while implementing environmentally sustainable practices. The retail industry is a prime example of an industry where green supply chain management can be an innovative approach for retailers to reduce their environmental impact. However, the current supply chain model often prioritizes economic considerations, which can be a concern for consumers who prioritize environmental responsibility. Despite this, green supply chain management presents an opportunity for retail organizations to address both economic and environmental issues.In Angola, the transportation sector is expanding, and the growing retail industry requires the implementation of environmentally conscious practices to mitigate the damage caused by organizations, particularly those in the transportation sector, due to high pollution levels in the country. To gain a better understanding of the impact of green supply chain management in these sectors, a qualitative exploratory study was conducted. This study involved case studies with Angolan companies operating in the retail and transportation sectors. By exploring the perspectives of these companies, the study aimed to shed light on the effectiveness of green supply chain management in mitigating the environmental impact of these industries.
