Background of the Study
Sustainability strategies are crucial for businesses in ensuring long-term viability while minimizing negative environmental and social impacts. In the food production industry, sustainability involves a commitment to ethical sourcing, reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and promoting social responsibility (Ogunyemi & Tukur, 2023). Jigawa State, with its agricultural resources, is home to a growing food production sector that is beginning to realize the importance of sustainable business practices, not only for environmental preservation but also for improving brand reputation and gaining consumer trust.
As consumers become more conscious of sustainability issues, there is growing pressure on businesses to adopt environmentally friendly practices and maintain transparent supply chains. For food production firms in Jigawa State, adopting sustainability strategies may not only result in long-term operational benefits but also enhance their reputation in the eyes of consumers and other stakeholders (Ibrahim & Lawal, 2024). However, the degree to which sustainability practices influence organizational reputation in this context remains unclear, necessitating further research.
Statement of the Problem
Although sustainability practices are increasingly recognized as essential, many food production firms in Jigawa State continue to operate without fully embracing sustainable practices. As a result, they may face challenges in building a positive organizational reputation, particularly in a market where consumer awareness of environmental and social issues is on the rise. This study will examine the sustainability strategies employed by food production firms in Jigawa State and investigate their impact on organizational reputation, helping businesses understand the tangible benefits of sustainability beyond regulatory compliance.
