The cognitive objective of this paper was to establish the roles played by standardized environmental management systems in the process of the sustainable development of an organization. At present this process is analysed mainly in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals formulated within the scope of the 2030 Agenda for Global Action. The main research method used by the authors was a systematic literature review. The result of the conducted review was the identification of motives and conditions for the implementation of environmental management systems as well as advantages and disadvantages resulting from such implementation. The authors also indicated the major causes of failures in the introduction and improvement of systems consistent with the ISO 14001 standard and presented conditions determining their successful implementation. In the final part of the paper, they included recommendations for further research directions in the examined problem area.

The most important aim of the study is to introduce the theoretical background of my PhD dissertation – agricultural environmental management –, in order to help the scientific foundations for my dissertation, which is in progress. For this reason I will try to clarify and systematize facts found in the special literature according to my own thoughts, from a new aspect.In my study, I therefore attempt to introduce the theoretical background of sustainable development as pertains to the subsidies of agricultural environmental management (National Agricultural Environmental Management Program, National Regional Development Plan, agricultural environmental management measures). Having clarified the concepts I place sustainable development in the economic theories directed to the treatment of environmental problems, introduce where subsidies are within the environmental regulation implements and I dwell on to the institutional questions in the explanation. I then study questions of sustainable agricultural economics. Accession to the European Union has to be considered as one of the most important concrete motivities of domestically coming into prominence of agricultural environmental subsidies therefore I think it is important to study how the problematic of sustainable development, sustainable agricultural development and agricultural environment protection worked out in the EU. Finally I survey the main characteristics of domestic agricultural environment management programs fitting into the theories explained above, how the program adjusts to the theories of sustainable development and sustainable agricultural development.In the dissertation I begin with sustainable development as the broadest theoretical background, then I survey a narrower category, the theories of sustainable agricultural development and how concrete agricultural environmental programs fit into the studied theoretical relations.

Third Party

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.

The World

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.

AbstractRealisation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) will provide improvements to people's lives and longevity of the planet. The architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) sectors have a potentially huge role in aiding the delivery of many SDGs; however, there appears to be a lack of research into the engagement within this sector. The leading environmental management system (EMS), ISO 14001, can enable organisations in the AEC sectors to improve their business operations, whilst minimising their impacts on the environment and improving society. Therefore, the study sets out to use institutional theory to determine the usefulness of ISO 14001 as a tool within the AEC sector and to demonstrate how the organisational benefits could facilitate the delivery of the SDGs. A stepwise PRISMA review process facilitated the compiling of academic articles and professional reports (n = 44), which enabled the creation of an inventory of the perceived benefits (n = 85) and the recognised barriers (n = 63) to implementing ISO 14001 across the AEC sectors. These barriers and benefits were confirmed by environmental practitioners as being relevant to the incorporation of an EMS. The most widely reported benefits within the AEC sectors were improving environmental performance and compliance with legislation. Lack of government pressure and lack of expertise were the most widely reported barriers, followed by cost to AEC organisations utilising an EMS. Following on from this inventory of benefits, it was possible to develop of a conceptual roadmap, which illustrates where linkages exist with the SDGs. SDG 4, 8, 12 and 13 are shown as exhibiting the most associations with the benefits. This roadmap was reviewed by AEC sector professionals who confirmed its usefulness. Therefore, it is surmised that the roadmap could aid strategic organisational sustainable planning or for organisations to demonstrate the delivery of their corporate social responsibilities.

The emergence of the concept of sustainable development in recent years has brought in the general realisation that societal perceptions must shift towards ecological determinism so as to achieve qualitative growth within the limits of the ecosystem's carrying capacity. The carrying capacity based planning process, innovative technologies for enhanced material and energy effectivity of production and consumption, structural economic change towards less resource-intensive sectors, and preventive environmental management through increasingly interventionist policies are some of the strategies for reconciling developmental goals with ecological capabilities. The paper analyzes existing and future environmental issues emanating from developmental objectives and policies in population, agriculture and forestry, energy, industry and human settlement sectors in India and suggests an agenda for action, with focus on environmentally sound technology, to ensure discernible positive movement towards the overall aspirational goal of sustainable development. It argues for a dynamic policy framework for environmental management in which the time lag between problem awareness, technological solution and remedial action is minimized through anticipation and prevention of environmental problems that may arise as a consequence of decisions taken within various sectors of the economy; restoration of environmental quality wherever necessary; structural changes in the economy; and inter-policy coordination.

The environment on earth as regulated in Law No. 32 of 2009concerning Environmental Protection and Management, thatenvironmental management consists of the natural environment inaccordance with the understanding of ecosystem life and socialenvironment that is illustrated by the existence of human groups both insociety and in families and refers to the understanding of humanity(humanism), so that includes understanding about between nations,interregion and the built environment (originally thought to be man-made;man-made environment).Development needs to pay attention to environmental conditionsthat exist from the physical side (soil, water, air), biotics (flora, fauna),and culture (culture, interactions between people). Environmental qualityconditions will tend to continue to decline if not balanced with the conceptof sustainable development planning in an effort to preserve the existingenvironmental functions.The implementation of environmentally sound development and thecontrolled use of natural resources wisely is the main objective ofenvironmental management. Sustainable development is very closelyrelated to environmental management programs and policies.The nature of environmental law enforcement in sustainabledevelopment covers all environmental law systems with the aim ofprotecting and properly managing the environment and is an activity toimplement and apply just environmental laws and take legal actionagainst any violations or deviations of law committed by legal subjectseither through judicial procedures or through non-judicial procedures.Legal norms are the most dominant rules that are enforced with powerand for their violations subject to certain sanctions that have beenestablished by the State.
