“…These benefits have resulted in the specification of multiple positive benefits or outcomes following ISO 14001 certification. On the contrary, other studies concluded that the certification process did not result in any significant changes in organizational performance or practices [76,77]. The French Standardization Association (AFNOR) introduced a study researched by the Paris Dauphine University entitled "Performance des organizations".…”

Sustainability describes a means to satisfy the needs of today’s generation without causing suffering to the needs and standards of living of future generations. The concept of sustainability consists of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social. The purpose of this study is to find a link between Corporate Social Responsibility and the Environmental Management System and its impact on the economic results of the researched companies. Many companies expect to increase their profits through Corporate Social Responsibility behavior and Environmental Management System certification. Based on an analysis of data collected from 200 of the largest firms operating in various industries in the Slovak Republic, we observed the implications of these two management tools and their impacts on the economic results of these companies. To verify individual hypotheses, we use well-established methods, specifically the Pearson Chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test, along with the Statistica software. The results suggest a relationship between the incorporation of these two management tools and that incorporation of the Corporate Social Responsibility has an impact on company profit. This work contributes to the literature on sustainability, corporate social behavior, and environmental certification in firms operating in various sectors of the national economy.

Also, determining the most important weaknesses in environmental auditing practices of the petroleum companies in Kurdistan region of Iraq. Therefore, the importance of this research stems from the value of applying the requirements of ISO 14001 in environmental auditing practices to enhance sustainability, reduce pollution, conserve the environment, and reduce the negative effects of the organization's activities. The researcher designs a questionnaire according to the ISO 14001 requirements in order to evaluate the quality of environmental auditing practices in a sample of petroleum companies. The researcher concludes that the level of environmental auditing practices in Iraq is acceptable, and the ISO 14001 requirement can be applied easily with some instructions, institutional awareness, governmental follow-up and public review.

“…Environmental management systems (EMS) are designed to help organizations "identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a holistic manner" [1]. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 certification system, established in 1996 and updated in 2004 and 2015 [2], has rapidly become the most-utilized EMS worldwide [3]. ISO 14001 certification does not specify particular environmental goals (e.g., reduction of certain pollutants, reduction of energy consumption, etc.)…”

“…Second, many studies have examined the benefits or outcomes of EMS certification, both for the organizations and for the environment, the extent to which certification results in positive outcomes remain controversial, however. Many studies have found multiple positive benefits or outcomes following ISO 14001 certification, but other studies have found that the certification process did not lead to any significant changes in organizational performance or practices [2,5]. Third, research on the KFS for EMS certification is more recent and less well-developed than research on EMS certification outcomes.…”

“…In order to address these four gaps in the literature, our objectives were to: (1) Investigate the outcomes and KFS related to ISO 14001 certification, and (2) compare and contrast these among private and public sector organizations, and (3) in the under-explored context of an Arab Gulf country with an emerging economy. We used an exploratory, qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews with environmental managers at 14 private and public organizations in the United Arab Emirates.…”

2019

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.
