Maintaining environmental safety and sustainability is one of the most important issues that concerns countries and organizations due to its impact on the present and future. In their efforts to study reducing potential environmental impacts, researchers have begun linking approaches and methods that focus on reducing damage and waste with approaches and methods that focus on environmental conservation. This includes linking quality management with the environment. The research problem lies in the increasing negative impacts on the environment resulting from the rush of organizations of all types to exploit natural resources for profit without considering the scarcity of some resources and the needs of future generations. This research aims to determine the relationship and impact of green Total Quality Management (TQM) on achieving environmental sustainability at an Iraqi university. The Middle Technical University was selected as the study sample. A questionnaire was used as the data collection tool, with 180 forms distributed. The data were then processed using SPSS software. The research concluded that there is a relationship and impact between green TQM and environmental sustainability at the university in the study sample.
