Abstract
Lean, Green and Sustainability performance are among the most commonly discussed topics in literature of business operations. In spite of the linkages among these concepts yet, there has been nominal efforts at integrating the concepts of Lean, Green with regard to sustainability performance and the mediating role of guanxi. This study therefore suggests a conceptual framework for the investigation of Lean, Green practices impact on sustainability performance of the firm with mediation of guanxi. The study is conceptual in nature, as it involves the review of existing literature critically and systematically and synthesis of existing studies leading towards formulation of the proposed framework. Documented evidence in the literature shows that these concepts are historically linked. The proposed framework provides a guide for Lean Greenpractices impact with mediating role of guanxi. It is hoped that findings emanating from the study will aid companies to further understand the importance of Lean Greenpractices in their day to day performance as well as the role of guanxi.
