Abstract:

Social sustainability has increasingly taken the centre stage of today’s organisation. Thus, organisations have begun to align priorities to focus on factors that improve the effectiveness of their operations and integrate environmental concerns into the supply chain management system, especially among fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms. Despite this, studies have established that FMCG firms are faced with the struggle to maintain substantial level of social sustainability. This impediment has been created due to poor management of green logistics practices (green production, green procurement, green transportation, green packaging, and reverse logistics). However, most of the extant researches focus more on other industries other than FMCG and developed countries than developing countries. This study looked on the social sustainability and environmentally friendly logistics methods of a few selected FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. The research design used in the study was survey. 13,782 management workers from eight listed FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria made up the study's population. The Taro Yamane formula was used to determine the sample size of 519. Survey respondents were chosen using a straightforward random sampling procedure. Data were gathered using a standardized, validated questionnaire, and the range of the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the components was 0.78 to 0.94. 96.7% of respondents responded. Descriptive and inferential (multiple and hierarchical regression) statistics were used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that green logistics practices had significant effect on social sustainability of selected FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj.R 2 = 0.066, F (5, 496) = 8.036, p < 0.05). The study found that certain FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria, benefited significantly from green logistics practises in terms of their social sustainability. In order to improve their long-term social sustainability performance, this study advised the management of FMCG enterprises in Lagos State, Nigeria, to take a holistic approach to sustainability and incorporate green logistical practises into their larger sustainability plan.
