Environmental management (EMA) has been considered as a successful idea to reduce ecological burdens in the form of energy dependence and carbon footprint. In addition to the company's highest emphasis on EMA, the organization's environmental strategy (ENS) is articulated and implemented with ecological motivation. The role of the ENS strengthens the internal awareness of the organization to improve environmental conditions and thereby helps reduce negative environmental stresses. In addition, with increasing environmental regulations in place, the need for sound environmental policies and strategies of the company is essential to protect future growth and market image.

Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is an extension to the traditional management accounting that helps the managers to identify environmental costs and realize the impact of their operation towards the environment. The adoption of this practice is critical in order to address environmental issues. However, as most of the practice of EMA is underutilized and diverse, further promotion is needed if it is to help the business to move towards sustainability. Surprisingly, even those firms which are regarded as being more environmentally-sensitive are not necessarily to use environmental management accounting. This has led to the literature gap pertaining factors that influence firms to apply environmental accounting. Therefore, this research is interested in extending the focus of EMA adoption in environmentally sensitive industries and understands the factors influencing them. Based on Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) perspective, this study attempts to look at how accountants perceived EMA and how this may affect the adoption of the system. By utilising a survey, questionnaires were mailed to the accountants of public listed companies in Malaysia. Six attributes namely the cost, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, compatibility and trialabilty are tested in this paper to determine the motivations of EMA adoption. The findings of the study are expected to explain the conditions that facilitate the implementation of the practice and help to provide ways to increase the adoption rate among companies.

The need for Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) can be associated with the major problems of environmental degradation that lead to other concerns, such as legitimacy and competitive issues. EMA is seen as a management accounting innovation whose consequence is a boost to corporate performance. EMA can benefit the competitive position of a firm by directing the attention of its managers towards potential cost reduction or potential areas for differentiation. EMA can also help firms gain resource productivity and process efficiency, which will result in the reduction of waste and improved the financial profitability of the firm. In other words, EMA practically improves both the environmental and economic performance of a firm. However, despite all these success stories, many firms are still reluctant to take a more proactive approach to EMA, perhaps due to a perceived lack of evidence that the benefits exceed the costs of pursuing these initiatives. The findings so far may also not be generalizable since they are based on descriptive statistics rather than rigorous hypothesis testing. There has been little empirical evidence regarding the impact of EMA on the business success of the firm. This is due to prior EMA studies that have made limited use of a theory that attempts to explain the consequences of the practice. Most research has focused on descriptive work and researchers seem to be unwilling to move beyond action-based case studies in further develop the framework of EMA practice and firm performance. This has raised a concern on the need for theoretical explanation on the consequences of EMA. As it is important to gauge the effects of EMA on firm performance, this study provides a discussion of how EMA could help companies in Malaysia to enhance both their economic and environmental performance and by this to encourage firms to put EMA in practice for their sustainable growth.

This paper explores the impact of institutional pressures on the adoption of environmental management accounting (EMA). EMA has been recognized as a valuable mechanism to deal with environmental issues. This paper uses institutional theory to explain the drivers of EMA adoption in Pakistan. Data were collected from the manufacturing sector in Pakistan through a questionnaire-based survey. The study concludes that coercive, normative and mimetic pressures have a significant and positive impact on the adoption of EMA.
