Es un hecho constatable el incremento de la adopción de prácticas medioambientales certificadas de manera formal a través de sistemas de gestión medioambiental. De su implantación, que tiene un elevado coste para las empresas, se espera la generación de beneficios, aunque no se ha documentado aún si existe relación entre la implantación de la ISO 14001 y su influencia en la mejora de los indicadores económicos a lo largo del tiempo. En este trabajo se analiza la relación entre la implantación de un sistema de gestión medioambiental, la ISO 14001, y el comportamiento económico en el corto, medio y largo plazo de las empresas del sector cerámico español. Se estudian los indicadores económicos para cada una de las 66 empresas productoras que han implantado la citada norma desde 1996 hasta el año 2009 a través de la comparación con su grupo de control. Los resultados indican que la ISO 14001 no influye en los resultados de las empresas del sector cerámico, ya que no se han encontrado diferencias significativas en los valores de ingresos de explotación ni en el incremento de los ingresos a largo plazo en ninguno de los tres horizontes temporales, corto, medio y largo plazo, obteniendo resultados opuestos a los esperados. Palabras clave: Sector cerámico español, ISO 14001, resultados económicos, SGM, event studyAnalysis of the impact of ISO 14001 in the economic variables of the Spanish ceramic tile industry's companies.The increased in the adoption of formally environmental certified practices through environmental management systems is a provable fact. Its implementation, which has a high cost for the companies, is expected to generate benefits, although the relation between the implementation of ISO 14001 and its influence on the improvement of economic indicators over time has not been documented. This paper analyzes the relation between the implementation of an environmental management system, the ISO 14001, and economic performance in the short, medium and long term for the companies of the Spanish ceramic tile industry. It explores the economic indicators for each of the 66 manufacturing companies which have implemented the aforementioned standard from 1996 until 2009 through a comparison with a control group. Results show that ISO 14001 does not affect the economic results of the studied companies. We have not found significant differences in the operating income values, neither in the increase in revenues in the long term in any of the three analyzed periods, contrary to the expected results.

“…Some exceptions include [5e7]. [5] develop an enterprise inputeoutput model to describe the energy use of two tile manufacturers in China and Italy. A particularly relevant study in the context of this paper is [7] which addresses the sectoral responsibility from a complementary point of view identifying the "dominant sectors" related to electricity consumption.…”

“…For minimizing carbon emissions, Kannan [30] develop a mixed integer programming model related to cost of production, network design for reverse logistics, and distribution. Manufacturing firms must consider profitability ratios, to focus clearly on reducing carbon emission by enhancing operational systems [31]. It is an urgent solution to the world's global warming issue that products are being given CFP labels to reduce carbon emission [32].…”

In today's world, there is an increasing awareness among consumers for demanding sustainable products. Several countries have already started working to create strategies for implementing sustainable manufacturing. Other countries are making efforts to access international markets and face intense market competitions in terms of sustainable status of products, which build a huge pressure on manufacturers to avail the concept of sustainable manufacturing. This paper proposes a manufacturing model to minimize total cost of manufacturing and carbon emissions with the effect of variable production quantity to provide sustainable manufacturing. Total cost of manufacturing includes fixed costs and variable costs with the addition of cost of minimum quantity lubrication and imperfect quality items. Minimum quantity lubrication system is an eco-friendly and sustainable, which reduces negative impact on environment and improves workers' safety. This study considers the real situation of imperfect products and proportion of it can be reworked at certain known rate. Numerical example and sensitivity analysis are given by using multiobjective genetic algorithm and goal attainment techniques to illustrate the practical applications of the proposed model.
