Abstract

Green “procurement in the developed nations has become crucial for any organization that wishes to be environmentally sustainable and enhance their performance especially with the increasing competition, pressure from the market and increased regulations. The study sought to establish the influence of green procurement management policy on performance of state corporations in Rwanda. Through a descriptive research design a sample of 119 respondents was obtained from a target population of 238 through stratified random sampling technique. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Multiple regression analysis was employed to determine the relationships between study variables and the findings were presented through tables. The study found out that green procurement management policy was statistically significant to performance of state corporations in Rwanda as shown by (β = 0.531, P = 0.001). The study recommends that the state firm’s should adhere to the green procurement management policies. This is because when the state corporations comply with the policies then other organizations would also adhere to the green policies.
