Abstract

This study examined the determinants of

sustainability performance in table water firms. A

cross-sectional survey research design was

employed. The study population included all

registered table water firms with the National

Agency for Food and Drug Administration and

Control (NAFDAC) in Delta and Edo States. A

total of 247 valid and usable questionnaires were

collected. Descriptive statistics were utilized to

assess respondents’ perceptions of the variables

of interest, while Pearson correlation coefficients

and multiple regression analysis were employed

to establish the relationships between the

research variables. The findings revealed that

sustainable product development, manufacturing

processes, packaging, and waste management

significantly and positively influence

sustainability performance. It is recommended

that governments develop policy frameworks to

support sustainability and create a conducive

environment for the sustainable production and

consumption of table water by establishing

standards and providing incentives for firms to

adopt sustainable practices in their operations.
