Abstract

A high initial investment in acquiring environmentally friendly products can discourage institutions from adopting them. This study explored the extent to which eco-friendly products contribute to supply chain resilience and operational performance at the Nigerian Maritime University. The study employed a quantitative survey method administering a sample of 303copies questionnaire to the staff of the organization using a stratified sampling technique. The hypotheses were tested and analyzed using a regression method with the aid of Minitab software. The regression analysis indicates eco-friendly products significantly relates to operational efficiency in Nigerian Maritime University, South-South Nigeria. The model regression indicates (R2 = 99.20, B = 1.039, β = 0.0162, p = 0.000); indicating that the model is a good fit. The coefficient 1.0399 is highly significant (p < 0.001). This indicates a positive and strong effect, explaining that for every one-unit increase in eco-friendly products, the operational efficiency increases by approximately 1.039 units. The NOVA result confirms F = 4117.07, p < 0.001. The study concludes that the adoption of eco-friendly products plays a significant and positive role in enhancing organizational sustainability performance or resilience. Organizations should embed eco-friendly product selection into their procurement guidelines to promote sustainable operations. Management should invest in environmentally friendly technologies and capacity- building initiatives to support the transition to sustainable practices.
