Some of the objectives were to establish the extent of green procurement practices being used, to establish the relationship between green purchasing practices and environmental sustainability, to assess the relationship between the adoption of green procurement practices and environmental sustainability, to evaluate the effectiveness of green packaging strategies, and to analyze the efficiency of green distribution methods with regards to environmental sustainability at EABL. This study theoretically employed Institutional Theory, and the Resource-Based View (RBV) Theory. This study also employed a cross-sectional design in which data was collected from both officers and managers at EABL's headquarters who were involved in green procurement. Therefore, before the actual research was taken, there was pre-testing of employees where a simple random sample was used to gain access to employees who had knowledge and sensitive information about the topic of research. The sample size was 66, and the researcher distributed 66 questionnaires, all of which were filled and returned, making a response rate of 100%. Though EABL has effectively integrated green practices into the entire process, from purchasing all the way to distribution. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that green distribution methods had the strongest positive relationship with environmental sustainability (r = 0.787, p < 0.01), explaining 61.9% of its variance. Multiple regression results indicated that green purchasing practices (B = 0.260, p < 0.001) and green packaging strategies (B = 0.223, p < 0.001) significantly enhanced EABL's environmental sustainability, with an adjusted R² of 0.635.The findings indicated that EABL effectively integrated green practices across purchasing, manufacturing, packaging, and distribution, resulting in a strong positive relationship between green purchasing and manufacturing practices and improved environmental outcomes. While green packaging strategies significantly contributed to sustainability, uncertainty regarding the specific impacts of green distribution methods highlighted the need for further research in this area. Recommendations for EABL included ongoing investment in green purchasing initiatives, the establishment of stronger partnerships with suppliers focused on sustainable materials, and prioritization of research and development into green distribution methods to enhance delivery efficiency and reduce carbon footprints.enGreen Procurement Practices and Environment Sustainability in Private manufacturing Companies in Uganda.
