Initiatives of Textile Industry Organizations towards Environmental Issues
The textile industry is the subject of many environmental regulations and voluntary and administrative instruments. This tendency, together with the increasing general public interest, determined changes in the management of any company that wishes to fulfil the legislative demand and the demand of reporting. The first objective of this study is to establish in what extent the implementation of an environmental management system has an impact on organisational variables. The second objective is to identify the influence factors for the environmental management performance. The results of the study represent the base of some recommendations for the Romanian textile organisations so that they obtain as many advantages as possible from their strategy of sustainable development. We have used the survey method. We sent a questionnaire and we have received the answers of the 31 representatives in all sectors of the textile industry.
