“…Differences between those two groups become apparent however when combining the company size focus with the chosen research methodology: all studies which focus on large companies chose a qualitative study design (e.g. Gordić et al, 2010;Virtanen et al, 2013), whereas the studies which focus on SME mainly applied a quantitative or mixed method design (e.g. Önüt & Soner, 2007;Blass et al, 2014).…”

“…Sivill et al (2013) especially emphasize that operating personnel lack visibility of energy performance in their daily activities and performance metrics are too focused on departmental level, leaving out the subsystem and equipment levels. Virtanen et al (2013) also examined the complexities involved in the measurement and management of energy efficiency. They conducted a single case study at Borealis Polymers in Finland, a petrochemical company representing the energy-intensive process industry.…”

Current research points to a large energy efficiency potential in industry which is still left unexploited. One of the most promising means of reducing energy consumption and related energy costs is implementing an energy management. This paper provides a systematic review of existing academic journal publications on energy management in industry. Five essential key elements of an energy management based on overarching themes are identified within the body of literature (strategy/planning, implementation/operation, controlling, organization and culture) and the specific findings relating to each key element are synthesized. Subsequently a conceptual framework of an energy management is developed which illustrates that a comprehensive approach is necessary in order to effectively exploit the existing energy efficiency potential. Finally implications for further research are described.

“…The aim with environmental indicators is to translate the environmental aspirations into improved environmental performance for the organization [43,44]. Studies indicate that environmental performance control systems play an important role in, for example, identifying emerging threats and opportunities, facilitate environmental decision-making and coordination within the organization and facilitate learning (i.e., [43,[45][46][47]). …”

Environmental Orientation in Swedish Local Governments

This study explores the environmental orientation in Swedish local governments. Environmental concerns over potential risk factors have become more important and popular among public organizations and environmental improvement efforts are made to create a sustainable ecosystem for the actors doing business, living and working in the area. Prior research indicates that public organizations have started to become more environmentally oriented in order to take on more responsibilities for reducing their own environmental impact as well as influencing the citizens and local businesses in the direction of a more sustainable way of living and working. Through a survey of Swedish local governments we conclude that they are taking on a key role in developing a sustainable ecosystem through becoming more environmentally oriented. This includes developing a framework for setting environmental goals, identifying suitable environmental indicators and reporting to a wide range of stakeholders. A factor that explains the increasing environmental orientation in the public sector is the implementation of digitalized performance measurement systems. We find that the environmental performance measurements are used to motivate different internal and external stakeholders in the efforts to create a multi-actor ecosystem.

“…Na osnovu pregleda literature, može se zaključiti da veliki broj objavljenih radova u literaturi razmatra menadžment energije i energetsku efikasnost u različitim industrijama [1, 9,10,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Neki od radova navode standard ISO 50001 kao referencu za uspostavljanje sistema menadžmenta energije.…”
