The purpose of this paper is to gather primary data on how well economic students at universities in Can Tho, Vietnam understand the impact of green supply chain management (GSCM) on sustainability performance. This study covers five GSCM factors (internal environmental management, green procurement, green manufacturing, green distribution, and environmental education) and three sustainability performance dimensions (economic, environmental, and social performance). Exploratory experiments and a literature study on GSCM and sustainability performance led to the development of the model. To collect primary data, a questionnaire was developed, and 534 people completed the questionnaire. SPSS and AMOS 22.0 were used for the quantitative and descriptive analysis of the data, respectively, based on a structural equation model (SEM). This research found that GSCM impacts sustainability performance differently. Green procurement has a significant effect on economic, environmental, and social performance. Internal environmental management significantly affects environmental and social performance. Environmental education significantly influences social performance. By contrast, there is no relationship between green manufacturing, green distribution, and sustainability performance. The findings highlight the need for universities to emphasize five areas (internal environmental management, green procurement, green manufacturing, green distribution, and environmental education) that are crucial to the long-term success of the economy, environment, and society. While some studies have looked at how GSCM influences sustainability performance, little has been done to raise economic students' knowledge of the role it plays in determining a company's sustainability success. In the long run, economic majors will enter the workforce as entrepreneurs who know their place and understand their role in contributing to the growth of their companies and the economy. To ensure the long-term success of businesses, communities, and ecosystems, it is essential to raise students' awareness of the importance of corporate social responsibility, community service, and environmentally responsible manufacturing.
