Survey of Sustainable Practices in Ghanaian Garment and Textile SMEs

315 valid survey responses from small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana's garment and textile sector, collected by Kweku Safo-Ankama. The data was gathered via simple random sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM 4.0). Findings focus on the drivers of sustainable practices, including sustainability challenges, material access, and economic constraints.

Use Cases

• Modeling the drivers of sustainable practices based on survey responses about sustainability challenges.
• Analyzing the impact of limited material access on SME operations based on survey data.
• Investigating the perceived effect of economic constraints on sustainability adoption.
• Benchmarking sustainability challenges in the West African textile manufacturing sector.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 315 valid survey responses.
• Analysis was performed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM 4.0).
• Focus is on a specific sector (garment/textile) and region (Western Region, Ghana).

Limitations
