Abstract
The current research aims to highlight the impact of sustainable manufacturing practices with its sub-dimensions (cleaner production, environmental efficiency, environmental design, circular production) on enhancing the environmental dimension with its dimensions (reducing pollution, improving environmental performance, and preserving natural resources) in the Kirkuk Cement Plant. The research adopted the descriptive analytical approach in presenting the conceptual frameworks, processing the data, analyzing it, and interpreting it scientifically. The data was collected based on a questionnaire distributed to a sample of workers in the plant under study. (140) questionnaire forms were distributed and returned, and all of them were valid for statistical analysis. The researcher used a set of statistical tools and methods to analyze the practical aspect, and this was done using the SPSS V26 and AMOS V26 programs to analyze the data and obtain the expected numerical results of the current research, which determined the fate of its hypotheses through statistical tests. The research results demonstrated a positive and significant impact of sustainable manufacturing practices, in all their dimensions, on improving the environmental performance of the studied plant. This underscores the importance of adopting such practices, particularly within the Iraqi industrial sector. A set of recommendations was presented, most notably the need to develop the plant's environmental practices and policies, intensify environmental training programs, and adopt modern, environmentally friendly technologies to achieve sustainable improvements in environmental performance.
