The main objective of the current research is to measure the role of green supply chain management activities represented by (green design, green purchasing, green manufacturing, green distribution, and green transportation) in sustainable environmental performance among a sample of workers at Al-Ittihad Food Industries Company Limited in Babylon Governorate. The study sample consisted of (300) workers, and accordingly, the problem of the study was formulated in terms of the relationship between the variables included in the study, as a result of which the objectives of the study were determined, which were represented in the hypothetical plan, and it crystallised the formulation of the particular hypotheses that were measured in the statistical package for structural equation modelling. Using the least squares method (AMOS.V.26) to analyse what was provided by the study administration, a set of statistical methods were used, represented by confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, the coefficient of determination (R2), regular distribution of data, and descriptive statistics represented by the arithmetic mean and standard deviation. The correlation coefficient and the study results showed a clear and vital perception regarding the relationship between green supply chain management and sustainable environmental performance. Perhaps the most critical results reached by the study are reflected in the presence of a correlation and influence with positive statistical significance between green supply chain management and sustainable environmental performance; in addition to the need for Al-Ittihad Food Industries to focus on using easy-to-use products, which increases its efficiency, which requires benefiting from the advice and guidance provided by the suppliers it deals with.
