“…The benefits generated in companies by the implementation of these standards are highlighted in the literature [42,43]. Among them, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 has been received much attention, since they are the most implemented ISO standards in the world [44][45][46]. These two standards are also the most commonly integrated, too [47].…”

Considering the importance of ISO 50001 in sustainable development, the objective of this research is to identify the challenges found by organizations during the implementation of ISO 50001:2011, according to the literature. To address this objective, a systematic search was conducted. Scientific papers from the following international databases were used: Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor and Francis. Permutations of the terms “ISO 50001” and “Challenges”, “Barriers”, “Lacks”, “Gaps”, “Obstacles”, “Problems”, and “Limitations” were searched. Following this strategy, 206 documents were found. After removing book chapters, articles from proceedings, duplicate articles, and articles that did not mention any challenge related to ISO 50001, 17 articles were left. Eleven challenges were found in these articles. The most cited challenges were: “Lack of Resources-Limitations (HR, Technologies, Infrastructure, Financial, Time)”, “Difficulty to determine the energy baseline and energy performance indicators”, “Human Resources deficiencies (competences, knowledges, and abilities)”, and “Lack of management support and/or commitment”. The challenges most cited shows the need for better planning before implementation as well as a comprehensive analysis of the organization’s requirements and features. The findings of this research show that this theme is still underexplored. The results presented can contribute to future industrial policies to potentialize countries’ economies.

“…The criterion with the second-highest normalised weight is SC (0.221). The role of certification is important as it can act as a catalyst in boosting the firm's performance especially if the firm is highly committed to it [12]. In addition, the certification also influential in ensuring process consistency and finally reducing the risk of supplier non-conformance [13], [14].…”

Today, manufacturing firms are demanding a higher level of performance from their suppliers. Manufacturing firms need to ensure that their suppliers are able to provide the best quality of materials, on time, at the right place and the right level of service. To achieve this objective, manufacturing firms may engage in supplier development (SD) program. However, the number of practices involved in SD is extensive. The management of a manufacturing firm should understand the roles and relationship between these practices, so that it may provide additional information on how to manage them. Thus, this paper proposed a model for evaluating and selecting supplier development practices using an integration of fuzzy logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Experts' decision making is used in the process of developing the model. The result suggested that practices associated with transferring knowledge have the highest priority. The results obtained can be referred by manufacturing practitioners as guidelines of seeking the opportunity to implement SD program in enhancing the capabilities of suppliers who contribute to the movement of a supply chain in achieving the greater performance of manufacturing sustainability and responsiveness.

“…Management system certifications, such as the ISO 9001, ISO 14,001, OHSAS 18,001, and ISO 45,001, can better administrate inter-related parts of the businesses environment that improve firms’ socio-ecological performance [ 21 , 57 ]. There was a focus regarding whether the adoption of management system can trigger firm innovation in extant research, yet this debate was still open between two opposing opinions [ 10 , 23 , 58 ].…”

“…A growing number of firms have adopted the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) in order to enhance employee health and mitigate safety risks in the workplace [ 16 ]. Some internationally recognized standards such as the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001:2007 and the ISO 45,001:2008 are commonly adopted by firms to avoid workplace accidents [ 17 , 18 , 19 ], decrease material losses and interruption in manufacturing processes [ 20 ], and yield improved financial performance [ 21 ]. Nevertheless, extant studies have also argued that management system adoption may in turn hinder innovation due to rigid institutional regulations and a risk-adverse corporate climate [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Sustainability of the workforce becomes a crucial issue, of which responsible care for employees can increase job satisfaction and human capital that impact corporate ability to absorb and generate new knowledge. Firms are obligated to provide a healthy and safe working environment for their employees, but it may in turn hinder innovation due to rigid and structured institutional regulations. Drawing on data of 308 China’s pharmaceutical firms from 2010 to 2017, we investigated whether employee care can trigger innovation under corporate adoption of the occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS). Our results suggest that both employee care and OHSMS adoption have a positive impact on innovation. Moreover, the positive relationship between employee care and innovation was more pronounced in firms that had adopted the OHSMS certification. These findings are valuable to policymakers and corporate managers in emerging economies through corroborating the important role of workforce sustainability in facilitating firm innovation.
