This study aims to examine the impact of institutional pressures, green procurement (GP), and reverse logistics (RL) on Environmental performances (EVP). The  study also examined  the mediating influences of GP and RL on EVP. The data is  analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Smart PLS 4. Findings from a survey of 165 industrial parks firms human resource , supply chain and others managers suggest that RL and institutional pressure had a favorable and significant effect on EVP.  In addition, institutional pressures have a significant effect on GP and RL. Finally, RL mediate the relationship between institutional pressure and EVP. The work is unique and provides significant contributions because of how the institutional pressure - GP-RL-EVP model was developed and validated. The government, customers, and other institutions should apply pressure,  the government should offer subsidies and developing green team  help firms to advance  environmental perfomamces.

Keywords: Institutional pressure, Green procurement, Reverse logistics, Environmental performances, Smart PLS predict.
