“…Other researchers attend to the managerial and economic perspective related to environmental sustainability [16,[49][50][51][52][53]; for example, they examine the development and introduction of specific effective policies in measuring and controlling future cost scenarios for the reduction of CO 2 emissions by ships [51]. Finally, studies also pay attention to the main implications deriving from the regulatory system, especially from rules and norms at global and national levels that have introduced relevant limitations and behavioral obligations for port operators.…”

Abstract:In the last 30 years, environmental sustainability has been receiving increasing attention by scholars and operators. All the seaport stakeholders, including port authorities (PAs), policy-makers, port users, any port stakeholders, and local communities, must invest substantial resources to achieve high competitiveness with respect of the environment. Drawing from the extant regulations system and conducting a deep review of the main contributions on the phenomenon, this conceptual study suggests managerial accounting instruments and training, which are still under-researched, as effective measures for enforcing and encouraging green port development. This three-step study consists of a systematic review of the regulatory frameworks and literature on the phenomenon, and an outline of the gap of the legislative framework and research, from a management innovation perspective, where effective managerial practices for environmental sustainability are not successfully suggested and implemented within seaports. On the one hand, the Balanced Scorecard and Tableau de Bord are identified and proposed as managerial accounting instruments for assessing, monitoring, measuring, controlling, and reporting the organizational processes of port players, mainly PAs, for developing competitive green ports. On the other hand, training has been suggested to educate and guide the human resources at all organizational levels within seaports, for supporting and developing awareness and behavioral attitudes in the direction of environmental sustainability.

“…ISO 14001 has generated a growing interest both among companies and in the scientific literature, creating two big fields of study, one focusing on the reasons for its adoption and the other on the financial aspects of that adoption (Ivanova, Gray and Sinha, 2014). Another aspect analysed has been the companies' behaviour regarding ISO 14001 and their marketing strategies, where it has been noted that the ISO is occasionally used as a marketing tool more than as a reason to modify manufacturing processes in order to improve the environment (Le, Vu, Hens and Van Heur, 2014). ISO 14001 has been widely analysed regardless of the size of company, both in developed and emerging economies as well as in different sectors such as manufacturing, chemical, pharmaceutical, financial, the hotel sector, port refineries and to a lesser extent, in the agri-food sector.…”

Agriculture is one of the sectors which is considered to have the greatest impact on the environment. That is particularly true in the area of olive oil production where the concept of sustainability is gaining a major importance not only for administrations and organisations but also for consumers and olive oil producers. This sector has previously focused on the quality management certified by different standards (ISO 9001, ISO 22000, BRC, and IFS); however, these days some interest in environmental responsibility is being shown. This interest goes beyond what is being enforced by the regulations and we can see this by the implementation of environmental standards such as the ISO 14001 within these companies. In this paper, through the analysis of the adoption processes of the ISO 14001 standard by both cooperatives and non-cooperative companies, we can determine their level of involvement in the environmental sustainability of olive oil production in the province of Jaén (Spain), where 20% of the world's production is located. To that effect, we have first studied how many of the 330 companies analysed have adopted the ISO 14001 standard and secondly, qualitative research has been carried out with in-depth interviews involving some of the previously mentioned companies. Results obtained reveal that previous experience of the certification processes ease the adoption of new environmental certifications in such a way that companies which have adopted the ISO 14001 or have stated their intention of doing so possess a high degree of adherence to the ISO 9001 standard. At the same time, they consider that the adoption of that standard makes them more competitive in foreign markets.

“…The cause of conflicts Seaports are among the fastest developing industries in Lithuania (Jarašūnienė, 2012) and around the world (Berechman and Tseng, 2012). However, intensive development of a seaport also means the increasing im-pact of the seaport on the environmental quality and business conditions (Puig et al, 2014;Le et al, 2014). This leads seaports to experience greater pressure from the surrounding city community and other businesses (Moussiopoulos et al, 2010).…”

“…(Le et al, 2011). The public perception of pollution is especially important, since ports are often located close to sensitive ecosystems (Le et al, 2014), recreational and residential areas, leading to pollution of the environment and resulting in deteriorating quality of life and impaired real estate. For this reason, the intertwining of seaport-society social, economic and environmental interests is unavoidable.…”

Seaports are strategically important for the development of global, regional as well as local economy. However, nowadays, seaports are among the fastest growing industries, which in turn lead to a variety of coastal resource use conflicts and provoke strong resistance in communities adjacent to seaports. Currently, it becomes an increasingly important aspect of limitations and constraints for future seaport businesses growth. In order to reduce environmental impact, seaport companies are implementing eco-innovations to remedy the conflicts among seaport businesses and local communities. The present study is aimed at the development of a conceptual conflict management model regarding conflict prevention between seaport businesses and the society. The research was performed at three separate levels: technological process level, company level and across all businesses involved in the marine industry. The paper summarises knowledge gained during the research on reducing environmental impact using Environmental Research, Engineering and Management 2016/72/2 98 eco-innovations. The paper provides an analysis of the main causes of environmental conflicts in Klaipėda seaport and, by providing the analysis of environmental measures according to the proposed conflict management model, contributes to conflict prevention and remediation by involvement of eco-innovations.
