The aim of this work is to identify the contributions of the Cleaner Production Program to the Environmental Management System certified to ISO 14000. The results of the research indicate that the procedure standardization demanded by normalization leads the company to adopt environmentally adequate procedures; besides, the implementation of the Cleaner Production Program acts as a complementary tool in the EMS, with a view to improving environmental performance.

The Impact

The study deals with the extent of the impact of environmental disclosure on cleaner production techniques, and in order to prove the hypothesis of the study, a link to the questionnaire was published on social networking sites and it was answered by 54 respondents, and then the researcher analyzed the results by relying on the SPSS statistical program, and the study found To a series of results, the most important of which is that environmental disclosure has an impact on the reliability of cleaner production, and at the end of the study a set of recommendations were developed, the most important of which is that companies disclose their environmental performance because they have a role in the reliability of cleaner production and the introduction of the issue of accounting in the curricula of universities and institutes.

Detailed Evaluation

The nature of post-merger technological progress outcomes is unclear, with theoretical and empirical literature being inconclusive and equivocal. We contend that merger motives materially drive post-merger outcomes and that post-merger outcomes vary significantly because merger motives vary. Hence, assessments of post-merger outcomes should take into account such motives, by the use of suitable statistical constructs. Our retrospective study has empirically assessed post-merger technology deployment patterns in the US telecommunications industry over a considerable recent historical period of major institutional changes. The events have provided information enabling us to conduct a detailed evaluation of the relative outcomes of differently motivated mergers under clean natural experiment conditions. Mergers have been classified as those undertaken for consolidation, financial, and market exploitation reasons. We have found consolidation and market exploitation motivated mergers to have had a positive impact, resulting in materially greater technology deployment outcomes for firms experiencing these mergers. The largest category of mergers that the firms have engaged in have been of the liquidity-seeking type, and such liquidity-seeking mergers have resulted in materially lower levels of technology deployment outcomes. On balance, we unequivocally conclude that negative lower technology deployment outcomes have outweighed the positive higher technology deployment outcomes. Such results should meaningfully influence agencies’ approaches in deciding whether or not to permit important sector mergers under review.

This paper proposes a new non-radial biennial Luenberger energy and environmental performance index (EEPI) to measure the EEP change in various Chinese cities. The sources of EEP change, in terms of technical efficiency change and technological change, are examined by Luenberger EEPI. The contributions from specific undesirable outputs and energy inputs to the EEP change are identified by means of the non-radial efficiency measure. The proposed approach is applied to evaluate the EEP of the industrial sector in 283 cities in China over 2010-2014. Factors influencing the emission abatement potential are investigated by employing geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. We find that 1) changes in EEP can be attributed to technological progress but that technological progress slows down across the study period; 2) the soot emission performance experiences a downtrend among four specific sub-performances in line with the truth that severe haze happened frequently in China; 3) the best performers begin to move from the coastal to inland cities with the less resource consumption and higher ecological equality; 4) cities with the strongest positive effect in regards to pollution intensity on emission abatement potential are located in the areas around the Bohai Gulf, where air pollution is particularly severe.
