The impact of industrial organizations on the environment during recent decades is clearly evident. Due to it all over the world, many enterprises are putting all their efforts into seeking environment management such as using instruments that reduce negative impact on the environment along with improving economic efficiency. The ability to manage its environment performance is emerging as a strategic issue for many companies, globally. In order to address the impact of companies International Organization for Standardization (ISO), introduced the ISO-14000 series of environment management system (EMS). EMS in an industry can be achieved by reducing the pollutants at source level itself, good housekeeping, recycling, raw material change and product modification etc. The goal of this paper is to study the procedure adopted by an organization to get certified for ISO 14001 standards of EMS. The various environmental legislative, operational and management procedure considered for the study. It examines the perceived benefits of having ISO 14001 for certified firms. According to the results of analysis, the organization is effectively complying with ISO 14001 standards of EMS.

The ISO 14000 and ISO 9000 standards have a positive impact on achieving sustainable and efficient business. The ISO 14001, in particular, is credited with a crucial role of assisting businesses with managing their environmental credentials which are vital in the upcoming carbon economy. This paper explores the significance of ISO 14001 and expands on the possibilities of the use of this standard in a creative way by organizations. Furthermore, with regards to ISO 14001, adjustments could be made to improve its effectiveness in implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS). The areas of this standard that could be upgraded are also outlined, including measuring compliance, specified, strict environmental targets for business, and a stronger sustainability component.

Full textAbstract:
Implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) has become an effective mechanism to address environmental problems of an organization and direct its activities to achieve the goals of ·sustainable development. .After realizing its effectiveness in the developed countries and in the private enterprises, the developing countries as well as public institutions are showing inclination to adapt environmental management systems. Some local authorities in developed countries have shown significant achievements by implementing EMS based on ISO 14000 series. Some other local authorities have made similar achievements by implementing their own EMS without any accreditation and external auditing. This paper first discusses the benefits of installing EMS in local authorities and then presents the fmdings of multiple case studies conducted in two local authorities in Japan and Thailand where EMSs based on ISO 14000 have been implemented and later continued with self-man&gement without involving ISO. The paper reiterates that implementing of EMS in local authorities in developing countries is practical and useful even without the accreditation of ISO. Involvement of professional bodies and senior citizens is suggested as an alternative to external verification of EMS performance.

It has been increasingly recognised that construction activity imposes external costs to the environment. This paper aims to review the benefits and major problems in the implementation of ISO 14000 EMS in the Hong Kong construction industry. This study surveyed major construction firms in Hong Kong to uncover the hindrance factors contributing to the low adoption of ISO 14000. Based on the findings, this paper identifies and ranks the perceived order which hinders the construction firms' adoption of ISO 14000. The case study in Hong Kong serves as a reference point for understanding the problems in the implementation of ISO 14000 in other countries. Specifically, this study found that the four major obstacles to ISO 14000 implementation are: lack of government pressure; lack of client requirement/supports; expensive implementation cost; and sub-contracting systems, which create difficulties in managing the EMS. Since the government is a very dominant client, the extent to which the Government wishes to restrict its choice of tenderer to those firms that have an environmental management system in place, will demonstrate its commitment to environmentally responsible operations. The public sector clients play a critical role in driving the construction industry to improve its operations through contractual requirements. Education of the end-users is also important to create market demand for environmentally friendly construction. To an extent, professional institutions and other industry bodies can help to instill a greater sense of accountability among industry participants by stipulating acceptable standards of behaviour and establishing a supportive regulatory framework.

Malaysia ranks 54 out of the 163 countries under the Environmental Performance Index and Environmental Management System (EMS) is becoming an important requirement for the manufacturing industries and companies are obtaining the ISO14000 EMS certification. However the real benefits are not realized by manufacturing sectors. Hence this research would be addressing the need to value the environment and the critical dimensions of ISO14000 EMS leading to effective implementation thereby helping in achieving corporate sustainability and examines the mediating relationship between the dimensions and corporate sustainability by proposing a model.The research is planned as a cross-sectional survey of manufacturing firms that have obtained ISO14000 certification and will be conducted in Klang Valley of Malaysia. Questionnaire-based survey will be used to obtain information and Structural Equation Modeling will be used to analyze the data. The findings will generate an effective EMS in line with the national agenda and will generate new ideas and knowledge by identifying the problems and giving innovative solution helping the Malaysian manufacturing industries to contribute positively towards valuing the environment endowment.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental and human safety regulations are now an inevitable part of horticultural crop production. For most businesses, worker training and the subsequent collection and administration of data required for reporting purposes is often regarded as an economic burden. There are few systematic models that firstly provide an ecompassing approach to this business requirement, but more importantly which provide resources that simplify and perhaps automate the reporting of data to any significant degree. A good environmental management system (EMS) should provide a framework to systematically plan, control, measure and improve an organization's environmental performance and assessment. Significant environmental improvements (and cost savings) can be achieved by assessing and improving management and production processes, but only if the data are collected and analyzed quickly and easily. Many times, growers do not realize the relationship between their improved environmental performance and other key EMS benefits, such as reduced liability, better credit ratings, enhanced employee performance, improved customer relations, marketing advantages together with improved regulatory compliance. The International organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 series is the most widely accepted international standard for EMS. Growers in most states in the US are required to document their use of pesticides and other agrochemicals that can impact human health, and in some states are also required to to document and monitor their applications of water and nutrients, in an effort to environmental pollution. This paper will illustrate the key elements of environmental management systems and how this can be integrated into production management using process management software.

Full textAbstract:
In the field of tourism, casino hotels consume considerable energy and water resources. They differ from general hotels due to their specific features; consequently, the environmental practices of casino hotels differ from those of general hotels. Thus, the application of a general hotel’s environmental management system (EMS) to a casino hotel is not suitable. To this end, in this study we developed an EMS for green casino hotels in Macau. We selected the casino hotel EMS indicators from ISO 14000 and nine representative green hotel evaluation systems. We additionally employed the Delphi method to determine the preliminary EMS evaluation framework. Based on our findings, indicators in 10 dimensions were identified and prioritized according to their relative importance and feasibility. The EMS developed in this study provides management suggestions for governments, hoteliers, and consumers to improve environmental management.

Full textAbstract:
Leading edge companies throughout the world have embraced management systems to achieve optimal sustainable performance in the ever changing business environment of the 1990s.Given that the natural environment and environmental performance have become one of the major issues affecting organisations, the need for integrating environmental management with all the other components of an organisation's overall management approach is now widely recognised.Systems interface best with systems. For environmental management to interface effectively with an organisation's other management systems, a systems approach to environmental management would seem the best. The release in November last year of the draft international standards (ISO 14000 series) on environmental management systems (EMS) has provided organisations with an internationally recognised means for this to occur and provided an additional benchmarking tool.It follows that environmental regulatory systems are required to enable regulators to effectively interface with company EMSs. Regulatory theory suggests that outcomes-based approaches are preferable to prescriptive approaches. Those parts of EMS standards which detail the requirements for particular system elements could provide the nexus for the company, regulator and community in future co-regulatory frameworks.These EMS standards refer to both regulators and the community as 'Interested Parties' being either 'concerned with or affected by the environmental performance of an organisation'.The Interim EMS specifications standard, released in Australia and New Zealand as AS/NZS ISO 14001(Int):1995 refers to 'Interested Parties' in only two EMS elements, 'Objectives and Targets' and 'Communication'. It is here that there are potential benefits and opportunities for companies, regulators and the community to cooperate in the emerging climate of these new international standards.

Background: The Environmental Management System (EMS) is a unique way to develop an environmental policy with adequate planning, including implementation, operation, checking, and management review. Objective: The main stages of the EMS encompass environmental policy, planning, implementation, evaluation, and review. Method: A number of environmental standards (ISO 14000), which were drawn up by the international standardization organization, form an essential part of an EMS. This management system introduces environmental management into the day-to-day functions, long-term operations, and resource management frameworks of the organization. Results: This overview provides important information about the role of the EMS in water resource management and the scope of the EMS in the water system. This management system is used as an instrument to promote sustainable development in society. Conclusion: This paper sheds light on the topic of a sustainable water environment. In addition, some recognized successful EMS systems were reviewed and illustrated. We believe this review provides a guide to a fruitful water environment for successful urbanization planning.

Abstract Environmental Management Systems (EMS) represent a solid opportunity for companies that voluntarily undertake a path towards the adoption of environmental protection policies. Many studies investigated the link between EMS and improvement of environmental performance, demonstrating how the adoption of an international standard as ISO 14000 or EMAS guarantees the company an improvement in its performance and an increase in transparency towards stakeholders. However, scientific research in this field reflects the strong variability due to the breadth and diversity of sectors in which the two international standards can be adopted. The aim of this work is to analyse, through textual statistics and text mining methods, the trends that characterize scientific production, highlighting most debated topics useful for developing new research perspectives in this research field.

To change the negative effect of traffic increase and to diminish noxious pollutant emission and environmentally harmful consequences of the car's life cycle, innovative tools and radically changed approaches are needed. The present proposal of assessing the car and its environmentally related technological and functional factors as part of the entire mobility production process shows the applicability of ISO 14001 standards to the entire car process and could be a concrete aid to reaching the current European and international objectives and strongly encouraging environmentally friendly car design, manufacturing and lifestyles. The car influences the environment during every stage of its life cycle. This paper analyses and demonstrates the real possibility of certifying, through ISO 14001 standards, instead of an industrial site or organization, a car process. The car process is the part of the mobility production process implemented in car use. Environmental management systems (EMSs) have been developed to improve the environmental performance of organizations towards the diffusion of sustainability in industrial production. The ISO 14000 series of international standards are the most important reference for eco-management of any type of organization. The two target groups involved in the car process environmental certification procedures set are manufacturers/suppliers on the one hand, interested in environmentally compatible new markets and products, and clients/users on the other hand, interested in testing benefits and problems of the EMS set-up and general environmental sustainability behaviours. The car model analysed for the case study application is the Toyota Prius, from the environmental point of view one of the best on the market, precursor model of the next-generation electric hybrid vehicles.

The objective of this study is to examine the problem of lack of awareness by organizations of the importance of environmental management accounting and its role in determining environmental costs, improving environmental performance and the lack of interest in the environmental management system which is considered environmental management accounting one of its tools, in the words Others, the actual impact of the EMS is somewhat low. Defining the concept of environmental management accounting in general, and environmental costs represented by the costs of environmental protection the costs of treatment emissions treatment and wastewater treatment using the environmental management accounting methodology. The need for environmental management accounting emerged due to the failure of traditional administrative-accounting in accounting. On environmental costs, which are allocated to calculating indirect industrial expenses instead of allocating them directly to the operations, products or activities that generated those costs one of the difficulties facing the application of environmental management accounting is the lack of a unified definition of environmental costs, each company classifies environmental costs according to their circumstances.

The aim of marketing management is to satisfy the needs and desires of consumers. A lot of factors have influenced the consumers and their purchasing. Besides price and assortment factors there are requirements of consumers to the quality of a product. It means that a product should possess physical, chemical, designing, aesthetic, ecological and other desirable properties that should be expressed before the use of products. Because of this, the quality in the theory and practice of management is beginning to affirm itself. This has been particularly expressed by the introduction of ISO 9000 which makes possible the internationalization of quality system and circulation of goods and services without “physical-fiscal-technical” barriers.

Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is a system, which collects, records, evaluates and disseminates information about environmentally induced financial impacts and environmental impacts of the system itself. EMA is an important source of information for decision-making processes such as management of an organization, for EMS or environmental reporting. Identified barriers were included in the study which was conducted in three phases – in organizations espousing to Responsible Care, in selected companies with ISO 14000 and in companies with environmental management systems, validated by European EMAS. In early 2010 research was completed in the field of environmental management accounting and barriers defending the implemention of EMA to organization’s information system and the subsequent use of EMA. Primary data obtained from this study were subjected to cluster analysis and the results are presented in this scientific thesis. In practise there are many obstacles to full-fledged EMA implementation process into practice organization and its functioning. Findings of the study give answers to the question: „What barriers act as obstacles to the implementation of EMA into the practise of the organization and its functioning?“

The potential for the firm to improve its resource use especially energy management by using Environmental Management Systems (EMS) like ISO 14001 has been shown to be possible. Yet, no in-depth research has been conducted to explore this possibility in Ghana. The implementation of EMS integrates the corporate environmental management strategies and management commitment to sustainable development but most of the organisations in developing countries of West Africa are slow to adopt the management system. The aim of this paper is to assess the drivers, the competitive advantages of ISO 14001 EMS certification and the environmental impact of ISO 14001 EMS certification, in terms of energy consumption. Before and after methods of evaluation were used to analyse the data collected. Purposive sampling technique was used to administer questionnaires and interview guides to employees of the cable manufacturing firm. A review was also made of annual data for electricity consumption before and after ISO 14001 EMS certification. The findings indicate that the main driver of the ISO 14001 EMS certification by the firm is to take advantage of certification to expand its market share. It was also found out that reduction in potential environmental liability risks is the main competitive advantage of ISO 14001 EMS certification. In terms of energy consumption, the findings show that the firm is saving a lot of energy thus cost. It is recommended that more efforts should be made by the energy commission of Ghana through the provision of funds to firms who want to implement environmental management systems.

The concept of green economy plays an important role in economic development programmes around the world. It is also part of the economic policy and government regulations in Poland. The overall goal of the green economy, which is to ensure sustainable development of the country’s economy, impacts the strategy and policy of each company. ISO 14001 is generally considered the main tool for addressing environmental issues in the management of an enterprise. The standard provides a proven and reliable foundation for the environmental management system (EMS). However, the relationship between the ISO 14001‑based EMS and the economic aspect of environmental protection is still poorly studied. The study addresses the gap.The article explores the relationship between the prevalence of ISO 14001‑based EMS and the economic aspect of environmental protection in the green economy of Poland. The study covers the period from 2000 to 2022. Correlation analyses of the data obtained from the ISO survey and statistical indicators of the green economy of Statistics Poland (GUS) were used.The results of the study show the impact of the prevalence level of ISO 14001‑based EMS on the amount of capital expenditures for environmental protection, as well as on the amount of energy and resources taxes paid by the business sector. Furthermore, the relationship between the growth dynamics of the number of certified EMS and QMS was analyzed. The implementation of ISO 9001 was established as a prerequisite for the implementation of ISO 14001, but it is not the only factor that influences this decision. The direction for further research is proposed.

We describe a simple mechanism for achieving two goals: (1) to encourage firms to take environmentally friendly action, and (2) to make environmental protection impervious to political change. We assert that there is wide evidence now that firms adopting an environmental management system (EMS) like ISO 14001 improve their environmental performance. This is because ISO 14001's third-party audits reduce the chance firms will fully fail to comply with regulations, and the EMS procedure reduces the chances firms will be in noncompliance due to ignorance. Our mechanism is intended to harness the power of EMS systems within firms, while reducing the chances that political change will nullify our solution. We argue that to achieve these goals, governments should make firms' participation in public procurement programs contingent on their adoption of an EMS such as ISO 14001.

Application of ISO 14001-EMS standard in construction firms is used and being studied in different countries. In the Philippines, the province of Palawan, declared as the last frontier, considers environmental protection as its culture where constructions firms are being established through various and vast construction projects. This study aims to develop environmental management system assessment model instrument standard for construction firms in Palawan based on the ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management System. The survey questionnaire was constructed by the certified internal audit of ISO 14001:2015 EMS standard and distributed to the population of the construction firms in Palawan. The analysis of data includes descriptive statistical analysis such as mean and frequency. The results revealed that most of the construction firms in Palawan are private owned and did not apply ISO 14001:2015 in their construction firm. Most issues contraries and self-implication of assessment model are it requires more stable worker cost and most of the indicators in their firm has most criterion met but need more improvement. The assessment model instrument of ISO 14001:2015 EMS was further revised and analyzed using the principal component analysis and further its reliability using Cronbach alpha. The assessment model instrument was developed through data reduction using the Pincipal component analysis. It undergoes evaluation by as ISO certified individual.

Full textAbstract:
This paper assesses the level of interest, awareness, and adoption of ISO 14001 and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification schemes among logging companies in Cameroon. Eleven logging companies located in Douala in the Littoral Region of Cameroon were assessed through a structured interview using an administered questionnaire which was mostly analyzed qualitatively thereafter. The findings indicated that none of the companies was certified for ISO 14001; however 63.64% of them were already FSC-certified. Four companies (36.36%) were neither FSC- nor ISO 14001 EMS-certified. Among the factors found to influence the adoption rate was the level of awareness about ISO 14001 and FSC certification schemes. The main drivers for pursuing FSC certification were easy penetration into international markets, tax holiday benefits, and enhancement of corporate image of the logging companies through corporate social responsibility fulfillments. Poor domestic market for certified products was found to be the major impediment to get certified. To make logging activities more environmentally friendly and socially acceptable, logging companies should be encouraged to get certified through the ISO 14001 EMS scheme which is almost nonexistent so far. This requires awareness creation about the scheme, encouraging domestic markets for certified products and creating policy incentives.

Every ISO standard will be evaluated every 5 years to decide whether a revision is needed in order to keep the relevance toward today’s marketplace. In 2015, ISO issued the latest international standard version of EMS ISO 14001: 2015 and officially substitute the older version which was ISO 14001:2004. ISO 14001:2015 meets the objectives by drawing together relevant external and internal issues (4.1) with the requirements of interested parties (4.2). These address the concept of preventive action and in part establishes the context for the EMS (4.3) in the organization. Ever since the 2015 version was released, the organization has 3 years to make the transition from the 2004 version to the latest version until September 2018. This research analysis was carried out using a checklist by the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI) to measure the implementation of EMS ISO 14001;2015 then categorize the result to the predefined category which are initial compliance level, transition level, and advanced level. The result shows the entire level of implementation ISO 14001:2015 on PT. AZ was categorized into an advanced level with score 169 but seen from the lowest percentage was on clause 4 Context of the Organization which was a new clause in the 2015 version. Thus, the 3 years transition period was not enough for the organization to entirely implement the standard.Keywords: Environmental Management System, ISO 14001, Transition. AbstrakSeluruh standar ISO dilakukan evaluasi dan peninjauan setiap 5 tahun untuk menjaga relevansi terhadap pasar. Sehingga pada tahun 2015 lalu, ISO mengeluarkan standar internasional SML versi baru yaitu ISO 14001:2015 dan secara resmi menggantikan standar sebelumnya yaitu ISO 14001:2004. ISO 14001:2015 lebih memerhatikan isu-isu lingkungan melalui dua klausul baru yaitu konteks organisasi dimana organisasi harus menentukan isu eksternal dan internal (4.1) serta memerhatikan kebutuhan dan harapan dari pihak berkepentingan (4.2). Hal ini merupakan tindakan preventif mencapai konteks bagi SML (4.3) di organisasi tersebut. Sejak dikeluarkan pembaharuan pada September 2015, organisasi diberikan waktu untuk melakukan transisi dari standar lama ke standar versi selama 3 tahun yaitu hingga tahun 2018. Penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan checklist yang dikeluarkan oleh Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI) untuk menilai implementasi SML ISO 14001 :2015 lalu mengkategorikan hasil penilaian pada kategori yang telah ditentukan yaitu tingkat pemenuhan awal, tingkat transisi, dan tingkat lanjut. Hasil penilaian menunjukkan bahwa secara keseluruhan penerapan ISO 14001 :2015 di PT. AZ berada kategori tingkat lanjut dengan skor 169 tetapi jika dilihat presentase penerapan terendah ada pada klausul 4 Konteks Organisasi yang merupakan klausul baru di versi 2015. Dengan demikian, masa transisi selama 3 tahun masih belum cukup bagi perusahaan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menerapkan seluruh persyaratan dalam klausul baru.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare the benefits of and barriers to the implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS)—International Standard ISO 14001 and Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)—by organizations. This paper attempts to answer the following research questions: 1. Does the implementation of either ISO 14001 or EMAS bring the same benefits and barriers to organizations? 2. Does the system functioning duration in the company influence internal and external benefits resulting from EMS implementation? 3. Are economic aspects of EMS adoption as important for entrepreneurs as the ecological aspects? This topic is important due to the large disproportions appearing in recent years between the number of companies registered in ISO 14001 and in EMAS, and due to relatively frequent cases of non-renewal of EMAS certifications in recent years. It is crucial because each EMS certified institution has implemented procedures which contribute to better protection of the natural environment. The study was conducted in the form of a survey; questions and answers were specified based on the literature review and the authors’ research. Results indicate that the knowledge-based and organizational problems, as well as the time invested in preparing the documentation, are much more significant than financial problems associated with EMS implementation. Even organizations that previously introduced ISO 14001 still have difficulties with EMAS implementation. The perception of benefits resulting from EMS introduction is related to the system functioning duration in the company. The analysis shows that it is necessary to strengthen economic incentives in order to enable the widest possible dissemination of EMS among companies. Research results can contribute to further simplification and increases in EMS implementation, which may lead to more sustainable development and climate change mitigation, inter alia, due to the improvement in energy efficiency, increased use of renewable energy, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Industrial development has made major breakthroughs in the last decade in the wake of increased production, government policies and public demand. At the same time, problems related to environmental sustainability have become a major concern for producers. The unsatisfactory dimension of environmental protection has always been highlighted, because the environmental management system (EMS) is ignored and not consistently implemented in certain Tunisian companies. This increasing interest in environmental consciousness is pushing manufacturers to aspire to adopt successful environmental management strategies. Organizations are in fact increasingly responsible for monitoring and enhancing their environmental efficiency. The present work is intended to resolve these issues by establishing the essential factors and modelling their interrelationships in the Tunisian context. By reviewing literature and expert opinions, 14 critical factors have been identified which leads to responsive in the implementation of EMS- based ISO 14001. For better understanding, the MICMAC research was used to identify the critical variables according to their driving and dependence power. The present study highlights “Top management commitment and support” and “Government policies and legislation” as the most significant factors for ISO 14001 implementation. This research will facilitate organizations' readiness for implementation of ISO 14001 by providing a detailed understanding of mutual relationships among EMS factors based on ISO 14001.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental Management Systems (EMSS) represent a new generation of voluntary “beyond compliance” environmental policies that neither set substantive goals nor specify final outcomes. As a result, many stakeholder groups are lukewarm toward them. Since 1993 two major supranational EMSs—ISO 14001 and the European Union's Environmental Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)—have been introduced. Firms receive formal accreditation after their EMS has been certified by outside verifiers. This accreditation can potentially bestow monetary and nonmonetary benefits on these firms.Firm-level EMS adoption patterns in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the United States vary, thereby suggesting that national contexts influence firms' responses to them. In Germany and the U.K. a significant number of sites have become either ISO 14001 or EMAS certified, while the take-up of ISO 14001 in the U.S. (EMAS is available only to European sites) has been less enthusiastic.This article begins with the hypothesis that firms in countries with adversarial economies— where regulators and business are on less than friendly terms—are less likely to adopt EMS-based programs. This hypothesis explains why ISO 14001 take-up has been relatively high in the U.K. and relatively low in the U.S. However, it cannot explain (1) the high rate of take-up of both ISO 14001 and EMAS in Germany, where the stringency of environmental legislation has been a contentious issue between the government and industry and (2) why EMAS has been more popular in Germany than in the U.K. This article argues that the original hypothesis, while largely correct, is underspecified. To better explain the cross-national differences in EMS adoption, one must take into account the type of adversarial economy (adversarial legalism versus prescriptive interventionism) and the nature of the policy regime (procedural versus substantive).

Introduction: Environmental management systems (EMS) were used commonly by companies to control industrial impacts and support environmental sustainability. In achieving SDG’s indicators to focuses on improving sustainable practices in the company environment, the government faces a tough challenge in increasing ISO 14001 certified companies. This study aimed to analyze the barriers and benefits of ISO 14001 certification in the industrial sector and recommend encouraging companies to carry out ISO 14001 certification. Methods: This study used a descriptive analysis method to identify the perception of ISO 14001 certified company practitioners of the certification barriers and benefits. Through survey questionnaires, data collection was conducted to 83 ISO14001 certified companies with a response rate of 49.4%. Results and Discussion: The main barrier in performing the ISO 14001 was the cost of implementation and certification. The highest benefit of ISO 14001 certification was to improve the company's image. A total of 83% of the companies believed that the benefits of ISO 14001 certification outweighed the costs incurred. Conclusion: The companies did not have significant barriers in conducting the ISO 14001 certification and classified into the medium category. The ISO 14001 certification could provide environmental sustainability, social, market, and economic benefits. The government needs to support the interest of companies in conducting the ISO 14001 implementation by overcoming the obstacles and maximizing the benefits.

This study provides evidence of the value of third party certification of environmental management systems. We examine the relative importance of improving an environmental management system as a result of certification, versus being able to communicate the quality of that system credibly to outsiders through third party certification. We use survey data where one half of the respondents had indicated that they had an environmental management (EMS) in place before seeking ISO 14001 certification, while the other half of respondents did not. Our analyses comparing the two groups find that the group already having an EMS report similar motivations for ISO 14001 certification and perceive to have received similar levels of benefits as firms having no pre-certification EMS. We conclude that even for organizations that already have an EMS, the ability to communicate credibly the quality of that system is a compelling reason to obtain ISO certification.

At the present stage of development in Latvia, as well as around the world, essential influence on the enterprise work has the idea of sustainable development. The concept of sustainable development has become widespread amongst government agencies, politicians, corporations and other organizations throughout the world. By the end of 2007, around 129,031 organizations worldwide have implemented environmental management systems (EMS) and certified it according to ISO 14001. About 100 of them are located in Latvia and 40 of them are construction companies. There is a lack of national evaluations of ISO 14001 in many countries, but in many countries no complete lists of the national certified / registered sites exist at all. In Latvia a list of ISO 14001 sites has been complied and regularly updated by the Latvian association for Quality. In spite of the fact that in Latvia increase using of ideas of ecological manufacture and environmental management, nevertheless there has been no any serious scientific study of Latvian experience of ISO 14001. The purpose of this study is to describe experiences and effects of EMS in construction companies, based on study conducted for the construction industry in Latvia. The results show that ISO 14001 often leads to reduced environmental impact, especially in the area of waste. A strong driving force behind implementation is the expected improvement of the organizations’ images. Legal compliance tends to be difficult to implement, but on the other hand, it works well in daily practice. To develop EMS into Sustainability Management Systems, the two most important challenges are to improve the coordination between the EMS and the organizations’ strategies and to improve learning process and direct participation of all employees. Santrauka Šiuo Latvijos plėtros etapu, kaip ir visame pasaulyje, įmonių veiklą veikia tvarios plėtros idėjos. Tvarios plėtros koncepcija visame pasaulyje plačiai paplito tarp politikų, korporacijų, vyriausybinių ir kitų organizacijų. 2007 m. pabaigoje apie 129 tūkst. organizacijų visame pasaulyje įdiegė aplinkos apsaugos vadybos sistemą (AAVS) ir sertifikavo ją pagal ISO 14001 standartą. Iš to skaičiaus apie 100 įmonių yra įsikūrę Latvijoje, 40 iš jų yra statybos įmonės. Daugelyje šalių iš viso nėra įmonių, sertifikuotų pagal šį standartą. Latvijoje pagal ISO 14001 standartą sertifikuotų įmonių sąrašą sudaro ir nuolat atnaujina Latvijos kokybės asociacija. Nepaisant to, kad Latvijoje vis labiau plinta ekologinės gamybos ir aplinkosaugos valdymo idėjos, iki šiol nebuvo jokių rimtų mokslinių studijų apie Latvijos patirtį naudojant ISO 14001 standartą. Šio straipsnio tikslas – nustatyti aplinkos valdymo sistemos poveikį statybos įmonėms, remiantis tyrimais, atliktais Latvijos statybos pramonėje. Rezultatai parodė, kad ISO 14001 dažnai sumažina poveikį aplinkai, ypač taršą atliekomis. Stipri AVS įgyvendinimo varomoji jėga – noras pagerinti organizacijos įvaizdį. Sistemą įgyvendinti sudėtinga, tačiau tai pasiteisina kasdienėje veikloje. Norint AVS integruoti į tvarumo valdymo sistemą, AVS darbą reikia suderinti su organizacijos strategijomis, pagerinti mokymo procesą ir įtraukti visus darbuotojus.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental Management Systems (EMS) have been adapted by different agricultural industries to suit their needs and to align with other requirements such as Quality Assurance (QA). There are stronger drivers for EMS in some industries (e.g. seafood and cotton) than others (e.g. broadacre industries such as grains and livestock). This paper explores the issue of facilitating the wider uptake or adoption and diffusion of EMS in the broadacre industries, particularly through assessing the EMS preparedness of these industries, proposing a staged approach and investigating the compatibility between EMS and QA schemes. We explore these themes, based on the national grains EMS pilot projects conducted from 1999 to 2002 and research within the lamb industry. A four-stage approach for EMS and QA alignment is proposed in response to reviewing an evaluation survey conducted with farmers from EMS groups in the grain and lamb industries and through exploration of the compatibility of EMS and QA schemes. Within the four-stage approach, the ISO 14001 certified EMS is the highest level, with the lowest stage comprising on-farm self-assessment and introduction to the concept of EMS. All stages are compatible with ISO 14001. In exploring the relationship between QA and EMS, we found that EMS and many QA schemes that fully comply with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point principles such as Safe Quality Food are compatible in their philosophy of continuous improvement. This allows farmers to understand, identify and manage the hazards and risks in their business that might impact on food safety, product consistency and the environment. We conclude, in the absence of market drivers, a low level environmental awareness-raising process through self-assessment is likely to be more realistic for broadacre farmers than more complex systems such as ISO 14001.

The practice of using environmental management systems (EMS) ISO 14001 at the organisational level indicates that the efficacy of such solutions depends on many factors, both endogenous and exogenous in nature. This article aims to identify the fac- tors that determine the opportunities for the improvement of EMS in organisations, the analysis of the relationship between the factors and the classification of the factors due to their role in the system improvement. The structural analysis was used to classify and identify the key factors and then to categorize these factors into five groups. Finally, the role of these key factors in improving environmental management systems was exam- ined. Based on the findings, guidelines can be offered to both scholars and practitioners regarding the factors crucial for the improvement of the EMS. Aiming to add value to the existing literature, the structural analysis was adapted to classification and identification of the key factors. From the point of view of practitioners, it seems to be very profitable to concentrate on the crucial factors during the process of EMS improvement.

This article aims to analyze the benefits of implementing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard in Polish manufacturing companies. The study focuses on identifying how the internal characteristics of a company, and its financial situation, influence the variety of benefits obtained from ISO 14001 implementation. The main goal is to understand the role of EMS in the context of the broadly defined Qstrategy of sustainable development (SD) of enterprises. Filling the research gap also involves determining the factors differentiating the scale of benefits, considering both the attributes of enterprises and the parameters of their financial situation. The research methodology uses primary data, collected through a questionnaire survey of enterprises, and secondary data, including financial information. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests are used to analyze and evaluate the differentiation of benefits. The results indicate significant differences in perceptions of the advantages of implementing ISO 14001, depending on factors such as the enterprise’s origin of capital, the geographical scope of its activity, and its financial condition. Among the most significant benefits mentioned are compliance with legal requirements, an improved company image, increased customer numbers, and growth in operational efficiency. The article contributes to the literature on environmental management, emphasizing the importance of diversification of a company’s internal and external factors in the context of the benefits arising from EMS. The implications of this study are significant, both for the theory of environmental management and for business practices; it offers insight into how companies can maximize the benefits of implementing the ISO 14001 standard.

Textile sector is often considered as the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. It is the most important industrial sector in terms of export and involves human resource to a much greater extent. Apart from being one of the highest revenue generating sectors, it has several tribulations, one of them being the environmental pollution. Water, air and noise pollution and the solid waste generation are the main problems which turn out to be a serious health hazard for flora and fauna. Increasing global awareness about these environmental hazards has triggered international environment protection agencies and governments to impose stringent pollution regulations. International certification requirements for ISO 14001-EMS is also becoming essential dynamics of the global market. These standards are also implemented in Pakistan. If these standards are not followed precisely, the Pakistan textile products will start losing their competitive edge in the international markets. The purpose of this study is to develop better understanding of the textile processes, related environmental issues and the available techniques for controlling the environmental pollution and also to understand the components of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS). To achieve this goal, I worked with NEC Consultants (Pvt.) Ltd team in one of their projects: Cleaner Technology Program for Textile Industry (CTPT). The processes of ISO 14001-EMS implementation in Nimra Textile (Pvt.) Ltd (NTL) was studied in detail with help of literature review, industrial survey and checklists. By these tools, it was found that most of the environmental aspects of NTL were exceeding the NEQs and company was willing to improve its environmental performance. That’s why the NTL takes services from NEC team as consultants. So, NEC team suggested them to implement ISO 14001-EMS standards in their company and provide guidance for its implementation.

This study assesses the adoption and operational effectiveness of Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) in Italian wineries, focusing on ISO 14001:2015. It evaluates commitment, planning, communication strategies, emergency preparedness, and employee training practices. Using a comprehensive survey-based methodology, the research elucidates the dynamics of EMS implementation across various scales of winery operations. The research reveals a strong commitment among wineries to environmental objectives such as waste reduction and efficient electricity and water use. However, significant deficiencies were identified in EMS policy implementation, emergency preparedness, and the uptake of ISO 14001:2015 certification, with larger wineries showing more robust engagement in environmental training than smaller ones. The study incorporates five key performance indicators (KPIs) and a predictive model using logistic regression and Random Forest to analyze the likelihood of ISO 14001 certification based on the analyzed variables. The model highlights established processes, environmental policies, and frequent reviews as significant predictors of certification. These findings contribute original value by identifying critical leverage points and barriers affecting EMS effectiveness within the wine sector. The research uncovers nuanced interactions between the scale of operations and management engagement influencing EMSs’ success. It proposes novel, survey-based KPIs essential for assessing EMS performance in wineries, demonstrating their practical utility in pinpointing areas for improvement. The research limitations include potential biases from varying participation rates among surveyed wineries, affecting extrapolation to the broader Italian wine industry. Despite these limitations, the study provides substantive practical implications, suggesting that wineries can enhance both environmental sustainability and a competitive edge by addressing gaps in EMS implementation.
