Abstract
The study aims to examine the role that eco-innovation in Ghana's mining industry plays as a mediator between supply chain connectivity and eco-supply chain. The quantitative data in the study were analysed using deductive reasoning, and the research design was a cross-sectional explanatory survey. The study's sampling processes, research equipment design, and analysis were all influenced by a quantitative methodology. The study's population referred to all of the permanent workers at the sampled Tarkwa Mining Enterprises. A total of 381 employees from mining and retail companies who have substantial first-hand knowledge of the issue under study filled out the survey. Using a method known as stratified sampling, the study chose the individuals who took part. The assumptions of the investigation were checked using Structural Equation Modeling (SmartPLS 4). Data were summarised using descriptive statistics in the study. The findings demonstrated the positive a significant effect of the supply-chain connectivity in the mining industry's eco supply chain. The research also showed that eco-innovation has a major effect on eco-supply chains, mediating the relationship between supply chain connectivity and eco-supply chain. Based on the results, managers in the mining industry may improve eco-supply chains by increasing connectedness and eco-innovation along supply chains.
