Top Management Commitment

Industrial development has made major breakthroughs in the last decade in the wake of increased production, government policies and public demand. At the same time, problems related to environmental sustainability have become a major concern for producers. The unsatisfactory dimension of environmental protection has always been highlighted, because the environmental management system (EMS) is ignored and not consistently implemented in certain Tunisian companies. This increasing interest in environmental consciousness is pushing manufacturers to aspire to adopt successful environmental management strategies. Organizations are in fact increasingly responsible for monitoring and enhancing their environmental efficiency. The present work is intended to resolve these issues by establishing the essential factors and modelling their interrelationships in the Tunisian context. By reviewing literature and expert opinions, 14 critical factors have been identified which leads to responsive in the implementation of EMS- based ISO 14001. For better understanding, the MICMAC research was used to identify the critical variables according to their driving and dependence power. The present study highlights “Top management commitment and support” and “Government policies and legislation” as the most significant factors for ISO 14001 implementation. This research will facilitate organizations' readiness for implementation of ISO 14001 by providing a detailed understanding of mutual relationships among EMS factors based on ISO 14001.

This article presents the result of a diagnosis made through a checklist based on the ISO 14001: 2015 normative items in a company that operates in the electronics industry. This study sought to identify the level of environmental sustainability recommended by ISO 14001, the change in behavior with the implementation of selective collection in the company and the elaboration of environmental control procedures, idealizing economic growth in a sustainable manner, preserving the environment and ensuring the environment. future of future generations. The conclusions are that the evaluated company needs to comply with 65% of the mandatory items of NBR ISO 14001: 2015, which evidenced the need for an environmental education program to assist in the implementation of the environmental management system in the evaluated industry.

Industrial development in the process can have an impact on the environment. The focus of this research is surfactant plant in West Java which has certify for ISO 14001:2015 certified on Environmental Management System. This study aims to evaluate management commitment in environmental management, and commitment management in implementation of waste minimization program. The research method used is a quantitative methods, with observations and reinforced by questionare to workers in the study sites, used secondary data and reference data. Likert scale is used to measure employee attitudes and ultimately categorization. The empirical evidence shows that employee knowledge and attitudes in waste management are good enough, contrary to waste reduction. In the future recommendations, it is necessary to set waste reduction targets in the key performance index (KPI) per department and evaluation per semester or year in achieving targets.

Integrated Management System

Integrated management system (IMS) can integrate several management systems in companies such as: Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001) and Occupational Health and Systems Safety Management (ISO45001). The purpose of this study is to answer the question of what and how to implement IMS policies in industrial companies in the fields of occupational safety, occupational health and environmental sustainability. This IMS implementation research was conducted on a manufacturing industry that has implemented IMS. The research method is conducted with qualitative methods with CIPP evaluative model (Context, Input, Process, and Product). This study succeeded in uncovering the implementation of IMS in the manufacturing industry which was investigated that the IMS had been fully implemented in the Occupational Health and Environmental Management and Safety System (HSE). The IMS is implemented at the policy level or management commitment (context), HSE planning (Input), operational implementation (process), HSE monitoring and evaluation and a review (Product) for continuous performance improvement.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between environmental cost (EC) on organisational performance (OPM) through an environmental management system (EMS) as the mediating variable. Design/methodology/approach A total of 2,600 manufacturers were identified and consequently selected as the entire study population. Additionally, this study used the structural equation modelling technique to identify the mediator effects of EMS between EC and OPM. Findings The EC and EMS relationship on OPM produced direct and indirect consequences. Hence, it is concluded that manufacturing industry in Malaysia are focused on the OPM when implementing EC and EMS. Originality/value The model would incorporate EC and EMS implementation on OPM in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. This study could also be advantageous to the industry in improving EC, EMS and OPM.
