Abstract
The chemical manufacturing industry is one of the main contributors to the Malaysian economy and has been reported to have sustainability issues which may affect the sustainability of the nation if proper green practices have not been taken by the industry. This paper aims to study the effects of sustainable procurement on corporate sustainability performance with the moderating role of organisation age. Drawing data from 130 Malaysian chemical manufacturing organisations, the model studies the moderating role of organisation age on sustainable procurement and the corporate sustainability performance of the organisations. Partial least square (PLS) analysis is used in this study in order to analyse the data and the multistage sampling technique has also been used in this study. The results show that there is a positive relationship between sustainable procurement and corporate sustainability performance and organisation age does not moderate the effect of sustainable procurement on corporate sustainability performance.
