“…Thus, this leads to better and higher firm's environmental performance. However, some problems were encountered: employees reluctant to follow procedures, the lack of knowledge, including problems with the adoption of the new regulation (Hariz & Bahmed 2013) (2003); Marshall and Mayer (1992) claimed that EMS training has a relationship to environmental performance whilst Hariz and Bahmed (2013) suggested that management commitment and support for EMS training has a relationship to environmental performance. Further study by Cole, Elliott and Strobl (2008) on firms in Ghana found that environmental training has positive influences on the firms' environmental performance.…”

The changes in the global environmental conditions have placed great challenges on governments, industries, and societies. Business organizations are often blamed for being the sources of theseenvironmental problems. This study aimed to examine the factors influencing the perceived environmental performance of firms certified under the ISO 14001 in Malaysia. A total of 268 manufacturing companies responded to the questionnaires. In this study, structural equation modeling was applied to test the hypotheses. It was found that the “environmental policy”, “environmental training”, “regulatory stakeholder’s pressures”, and “customer pressures”, influence the firm’s perceived environmental performance in which “customer pressures”, was found to be the dominant factor. The measure of environmental performance was self-reported due to the lack of available data. Therefore, perceived environmental performance was employed for this study which is aperceived measure based on the dimensions of the ISO 14001 definition. This study provided a model to synthesize both internal (environmental policy and environmental training) and external (regulatory stakeholder’s pressure and customer pressures) constructs that influenced a firm’sperceived environmental performance. The empirical results and insights from interviews shed lights on the practitioners as to how to enhance a firm’s environmental performance through green practices.

“…One of the key matter in using EMS ISO14001 is it provides value-based thinking among companies, not to mentioned the sustainability value [11]. On that note, studies have proved that developing a pattern to design a sustainability supply chain based on several requirements, including ISO 14001 [13]; providing an immediate image about the reality of the EMS as experienced by Algerian certified ISO 14001 companies [14]; and the effect of ISO 14001 on environmental regulatory compliance in China [15] are some of the benefits of adopting EMS 14001.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explain the process of environmental protection in one of the leading petrochemical company in Malaysia. In so doing, the paper shared its findings by using a single case study. The paper indicates that EMS ISO14001 is an environmental protection mechanism that guide company, particularly of same nature i.e. petrochemical. The paper shows that environment problems caused by petrochemical companies has both practical and environmental implications. The effects of environmental degradations on the habitat and society are serious, thus the findings add value to minimize if not reduce environmental issue. The paper contributes to new knowledge in several ways; emphasized on the use of EMS ISO 14001 as means of environmental protection model and giving original idea that broaden the perspective of environmental protection.

“…KFS for ISO 14001 certification have rarely been examined thoroughly in the literature [5]. Several studies have been conducted in emerging [9] and Middle-Eastern countries [10][11][12], but there are no studies from Arab Gulf countries. Fourth, there is a critical lack of research on comparing EMS certification in private and public organizations [6].…”

Outcomes and Key Factors of Success for ISO 14001 Certification: Evidence from an Emerging Arab Gulf Country

The objectives of this research were: (1) To examine the outcomes and key factors of success (KFS) related to ISO 14001 certification, (2) to compare and contrast these in private organizations (PRIVOs) and public organizations (PUBOs), and (3) in the under-explored context of an Arab Gulf country with an emerging economy: The United Arab Emirates. We used an exploratory, qualitative research approach, based on semi-structured interviews with the environmental managers of 14 UAE organizations from the private and public sector. The five major outcomes of ISO 14001 certification were improved: (1) Environmental performance, (2) organizational reputation and relationships with stakeholders, (3) organizational efficiency, (4) environmental management (EM) practices, and (5) environmental awareness. These outcomes were shared by PRIVOs and PUBOs, although improved resource management, improved relations with stakeholders, and improved EM practices were more common in PUBOs, and improved organizational efficiency was more common in PRIVOs. The six KFS for implementation were: (1) Senior management's support, (2) employees' awareness, involvement and competence, (3) government initiatives and commitment, (4) sufficient organizational resources, (5) adoption of a continuous, integrative, and collaborative approach, and (6) the use of external consultants. These KFS were shared by PRIVOs and PUBOs, although government initiatives and commitment were more common in PUBOs, and sufficient resources were more common in PRIVOs. Our study contributes to a better understanding of environmental management system implementation in emerging countries in general, and in Arab Gulf countries particularly. Our study has implications for business leaders, policy makers, EMS professionals, and educators in the UAE and other emerging countries.
