Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this is to test the relationship between corporate environmental strategies (CES) and firms’ competitiveness (FC) through collaboration.
Design/methodology/approach
Selected companies from Ghana Club 100 were used as the sample for this study. This study used regression to test the hypothesized paths.
Findings
The results indicated that a unit change in CES results in a 42.7% alteration in FC – all things being equal. Also, as revealed by the study, supply chain collaboration (SCC) is not a significant predictor of FC. However, SCC plays an indirect role in enhancing the relationship between CES and FC. The results showed that CES act as a significant predictor of a company’s collaboration in its supply chain.
Practical implications
The findings will enlighten firms to outline and implement appropriate environmental strategies to sustain their competitive advantage.
Originality/value
This study is very rare in the African context; hence, it adds to the extant literature by providing a contemporary perspective of CES and FC.
