The study included 13,782 managers from eight publicly listed FMCG businesses in Lagos State, Nigeria. The Taro Yamane formula determined the 519 sample size. Basic random sampling was utilised. The questionnaire was standardised and validated. Constructs' Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients ranged from 0.78 to 0.94. The response rate was 96.7%. The data were examined using descriptive and inferential statistics, including multiple and hierarchical regression. Findings: The findings revealed that green logistics practices had significant effect on the operational sustainability of selected FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj.R2 = 0.02, F(5, 496) = 3.31, p < 0.05). The study concluded that green logistics practices promote operational sustainability of selected FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria.
