“…It would be fruitful for future research that the research should be extended to supply chains operating in other countries. A comparison of the results obtained by European countries, where ISO standards are very popular (Mas-Machuca and Marimon, 2019) with supply chains operating on other continents, also seems a desirable direction for further research. Another limitation is that the organizations had mainly implemented systems according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000 standards.…”

“…The difference is that quality management systems focus on developing management methods that enable organization of processes so that the company can manufacture products that meet accepted quality standards. However, environmental management systems include the management of side effects of this activity (Mas Machuca and Marimon, 2019). The ISO 14001 environmental management system can therefore be considered an integral part of the overall enterprise management system covering the organizational structure, planning, responsibility, policies, procedures, processes and measures needed to establish, implement, review and improve environmental policy (Ejdys et al, 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the impact of standardized management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000 and ISO 28000) on minimizing selected aspects of risk in the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was used to explore this topic. Respondents were divided into two group regarding organization type – logistic service providers and focal companies. Basic data analysis was based on descriptive statistics and on analysis of variance with organization type as a stratification factor. Deeper data analysis was based on factor analysis with principal component analysis and varimax rotation with Kaiser normalization. Findings Research shows that standardized management systems turn out to be useful in supply chain risk management (SCRM) regardless of the role that the organization plays in the supply chain. However, the strength of their positive impact varies. There were few respondents among logistic operators who were low in assessing the legitimacy of implementing standardized management systems in the examined context. Having this in mind, especially representatives of logistic operators with a limited budget should consider making the decision to implement standardized management systems. Practical implications The obtained research results may be helpful for managers who consider to implement standardized management systems in the context of using obtain guidelines to develop procedures to improve supply chain management and ensure the repeatability of ongoing processes. Originality/value Although the number of studies on the SCRM increases, it is worth noting that in the literature there is still a lack of research and studies addressing the impact of standardized management systems on SCRM (especially from the perspective of organizations with various functions in supply chains such as focal companies and logistic service providers). Therefore, there is a need for comprehensive research in this area. According to the authors, the study carried out, at least to some extent, will fill this gap.

“…Some factors influencing the successful adoption of ISO 14001 have already been discussed in the existing literature, including critical success factors (Cassells et al, 2011 ; Wulandari et al, 2012 ), motivators (Mas-Machuca & Marimon, 2019 ; Santos et al, 2016 ; Sorooshian et al, 2018 ; Waxin et al, 2020 ), challenges (Granly & Welo, 2014 ; Sorooshian et al, 2018 ; Waxin et al, 2020 ) and benefits (Di Noia & Nicoletti, 2016 ; Sorooshian et al, 2018 ). However, few studies have discussed the role of human factors (HFs) in successfully adopting ISO 14001 (Boiral et al, 2018 ; Waxin et al, 2020 ).…”

Examining the role of soft dimensions on the implementation of ISO 14000 environmental management systems: a graph-theoretic approach

et al. 2022

Organizations worldwide are now embracing different standards while approaching environmental management systems (EMS) to be environmentally and economically sustainable. The ISO 14001 EMS has captured much attention by offering efficient environmental practices organization-wide and throughout the supply chain. Human factors (HFs) are crucial behind implementing ISO 14001 EMS since research articles about ISO 14001 strongly emphasize different HFs. This study proposes a framework that solely focuses on those HFs. Influential HFs are extracted through content analysis of related literature and categorized into 5 main HFs. Opinions from experts in the relevant field about interrelationships and inheritances of the HFs are collected and converted into quantitative data. Incorporating the graph theoretic and matrix approach (GTMA), the data delivered permanent values corresponding to the main HFs and their best and worst possible values. Among the main HFs, EMS Training has been found to have the most scopes for improvement, followed by Employee Empowerment and EMS Teamwork. This study demonstrates a framework about how to assess the role of HFs behind internalizing ISO 14001 EMS and enables organizations to go for competitive benchmarking and to define and adjust goals for environmental management.

“…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.)…”

“…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.…”

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.
