Abstract

To date, the deteriorating environment has become a great concern for governments,
societies, as well as business organizations all over the world. In addition, businesses are
being seen as the biggest contributors to the deterioration of the environment. Hence
companies and organizations are beginning to take into consideration the environment
and the impact it would cause stemming from their business activities. As such, more
companies are adopting sustainable management in their business operations with green
purchasing being one of the methods. Malaysia has long depended on the electrical and
electronics (E&E) industry as the biggest contributor to the country’s GDP in international
trade. Thus this research aims to study the adoption of green purchasing practice among
companies in the E&E industry in particular. The drivers of the adoption of green
purchasing are environmental regulations, consumer pressures, corporate social
responsibility and expected business benefits. There are four hypotheses constructed in
this research. 150 electronic questionnaires were distributed via email to the unit of
analysis which is the E&E companies in Malaysia. The data collected were analysed using
the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Results from this study shows that
environmental regulations and consumer pressures have significant impact on green
purchasing. Recommendations for future research has also been included.
