Abstract
We aimed to investigate the influence of corporate sustainability on customer loyalty. Participants were 790 customers from mobile telecommunication, retail banking, and the manufacturing sector of the Ghanian economy (female = 42%, age range = 18 to 65 years). The customers completed existing measures of corporate sustainability, green image, and customer loyalty. Data were analysed by performing structural equation modeling using SmartPLS. The path coefficient of the direct model indicated higher levels of environmental sustainability and economic sustainability were associated with higher levels of customer loyalty. The outcome of the indirect effect test indicated that green image of business organisations does not influence the relationship between economic and environmental sustainability and customer loyalty. Organisations should endeavor to implement robust and deliberate sustainability strategies to enrich the green orientation and reputation of firms to attract the attention and inputs of relevant stakeholders.
