Environmental management accounting is an environmental voluntary instrument, which is aimed at environmental and economic benefits. It is possible to apply environmental management accounting in different industry sectors. In case of forestry a challenging idea is to take into account all forestry externalities. It is important to try to find a solution to comprehend all forestry outputs into a system of environmental management accounting because externalities are often excluded and result is that managers do not have correct information for their decision making. That is why it is important to know whether the accounting system includes externalities and how internalize all externalities. The problem is a methodology of assessing the externalities and willingness to allow externalities particularly in private enterprises. Assessment of externalities is not an invincible problem but a problem is to know what is their impact on enterprises and on society. A possibility to make a decision including externalities is what we want to solve. A lot of monetary and nonmonetary outputs exist in forestry. That is why we selected a forestry enterprise as an example. Key words: environmental management accounting, externalities, internalization of externalities, forestry outputs, forestry externalities.

Batik Kampoeng Jetis is one of the centers batik who have the potential pollution of waste that is high enough so needed an improvement in production process and the management of liquid wastes and solid wastes from the production process. It says quite high because the volume of liquid waste produced by ± 568 m³ per day to produce pieces of batik ± 1400 per day. Batik Kampoeng Jetis also expect the economic benefits of increased productivity resulting from efficient use of resources in order to improve management of the environment. There are two interests, economic interests and the interests of environmental protection. Green Productivity and Environmental Management Accounting are used to accommodate these two interests. Green Productivity is a strategy to increase company productivity and environmental performance simultaneously in the overall social economic development (APO, 2003). Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is for exploring the costs rather than regard it as an overhead cost. Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) to calculate how much the costenvironment and create an alternative that can provide benefits. The results of this study is to design measurement procedures standardized assessment of Batik Green Productivity for UKM that can ensure sustainability in both the financial and environmental aspects so that they can still survive without ignoring their negative contribution to the environment. Handling of liquid waste that is applied can provide improvements of productivity and environmental performance, although the increase is achieved only 1.3%. But this provides evidence that by implementing Green Productivity and Environmental Management Accounting will be able to increase the productivity and environmental performance.While the profit potential of products that can be achieved by using the Environmental Management Accounting is estimated at 4.4% or Rp.2.194.936.000, - per year.

The emergence of environmental issues has increased environmental protection awareness among society and pushed organizations to become environmentally responsible. Many companies currently consolidate environmental matters into their corporate strategic plan by adopting a comprehensive Environmental Management Accounting System (EMAS) to create more value. However, a lack of understanding on the institutional pressures persuading EMAS adoption within the organizations has reduced the urgency for the company to adopt the EMAS. This paper aims to explain the management's behavioral issues towards accepting EMAS adoption and how this behavior would lead to value creation.   Keywords: Environmental Management Accounting System (EMAS), behavioral barriers, value creation, institutional theory eISSN: 2398-4287© 2021.

Environmental management accounting (EMA) and cleaner production assessment (CPA) both are considered effective tools to assist industries improve their production performance, minimize pollution and progress toward sustainable development. The paper presents the development of a suitable methodology integrating these two tools in order to facilitate approach of EMA to industries, to reflect environmental costs in the company’s financial statements for more sustainable business plans and accurate evaluation of the effectiveness of applied CP measures. This method is expected to be a new solution for the difficulties of EMA in approaching industries and for the limitations of existing accounting system in quantifying efficiencies of CP measures.
