The use of environmental management accounting (EMA) remains debated in South Africa and the literature reveals that EMA is still at an infancy stage in the emerging economies, including South Africa. Currently, there is limited existing research on environmental management accounting practices available for use by the hotel sector in South Africa. The overall aim of this study was to investigate and describe the use of the environmental management accounting tools by the hotel sector in the 3-5 star categories in KwaZulu-Natal. The research was an exploratory study and qualitative in nature using a single case study with embedded units approach. It is envisaged that study will bridge the gap that exists in South Africa as far as environmental management accounting is concerned and it will also make the provision of meaningful results for policy decision making by the relevant stakeholders in the hotel industry. Moreover, it established factors that drive and/or hinder the implementation of EMA tools that would control and manage environmental costs and their root causes

Abstract Purpose: This study examines how Environmental Management Accounting practices are related to waste management practices and how the organization in the case study is influenced in adopting the waste management practices Research methodology: The case study method was used in examining the applicability of Environmental Management Accounting to waste management in one large manufacturing company. Interviews, observations and archival documents were used as data collection methods. Results: The study observed that the company had reinvigorated environmental management and waste management practices due to the influence of the major stakeholders. These motivations can be categorized into three main pillars including coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphisms. Limitations: As the research is directed towards the selection of in-depth inquiry of specific settings infused with culture, values, beliefs, stories, language, perception, politics and ideology, it might cause to diminish the researcher's analytical objectivity and independence of the research. Contribution: Policies, practices and motivations promote the future development of environmental management accounting and waste management practices in the Sri Lankan context.

ABSTRACTThe impact of a company's production activities can cause various environmental problems that are detrimental to various parties. This is a social burden, which must be taken seriously. Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) is a concept that helps companies in loading business impacts in the form of monetary units. The application of Environmental Management Accounting helps companies with environmental problems by recording all of their production activities to be reported in the company's environmental cost report. This research is a case study research in manufacturing companies, namely PG.PRADJEKAN. This study aims to evaluate the application of Environmental Management Accounting PG.PRADJEKAN. From the results of research on PGADJEKAN, it is known that the company has not fully implemented Environmental Management Accounting. Especially for accountant staff who do not understand about Environmental Management Accounting should be given a study of Environmental Management Accounting. From the implementation of Environmental Management Accounting in 2011 until now the company has a good waste management system so as to minimize environmental pollution caused by production activities in the milling season. From the evaluation results in this study it can be seen that the company's accountants play a full role in the application of Environmental Management Accounting, but accountants need to conduct further environmental studies to understand their application, because the application of Environmental Management Accounting in PG.PRADJEKAN has only been running for four years.Keywords: Evaluation, Application of Environmental Management Accounting, Environmental Costs
