Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify the factors that prevented and encouraged Ghanian SMEs from adopting sustainable business practices (SBP) in their enterprises. Secondly, this study aims to examine the discussion amongst academics and practitioners on sustainability in SMEs based in Ghana. To fulfil this objective this study adopted a qualitative research philosophy and used a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyse the literature discussing this phenomenon. Only eleven articles were included in this study’s sample based on the search criteria established in this study. Furthermore, using thematic analysis, this study identified four themes within the sample of articles: supply chains were the most prevalent topic, sustainability reporting (SR) was the second most prevalent topic, whereas green strategy and sustainable business practices (SBPs) were the least prevalent topics. Lastly, this study found that there was a dearth of literature focusing on green strategy and SBPs in SMEs based in Ghana. As a result, this study recommends that more studies should be conducted that explore how green strategy and SBPs may be implemented in SMEs based in Ghana
