Green practices are increasingly implemented in the automotive industry. Green practices characteristic have direct effects on green innovation. The associations among different of green practices (internal environmental management, technology integration, logistic management, customer focus, supplier focus) and reviewed which green practices can effect on green innovation (green product innovation and green process innovation). Thus, the main purpose of this study is to develop a model that the structural analysis of green practices and green innovation in Malaysian automotive industry. The conceptual model using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) has been proposed. Base on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed, research hypotheses are being developed, the paper culminates with suggested future research work.

Abstract:The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is the official Environmental Management System (EMS) issued by the European Union (EU). Italy is the country where EMAS is most widespread, accounting for over 1000 registered organizations. Since the entry into the force of the Regulation in 1997, the number of registrations has constantly grown until 2008, when the figures started to drop. The phenomena are due to both the decrease of the annual registration rate and the lack of renewals. According to the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA), in recent years, an increasing number of organizations decided to withdraw from EMAS registration. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reasons of this negative trend. The first step consisted of a literature review concerning the main barriers, difficulties and costs incurred by EMAS-registered organizations. Subsequently, this information was integrated with data about the evolution of EMAS registrations and the results of a previous survey, which involved the entire population of Italian registered firms. The present exploratory research highlighted economic and operational domains concerning the cancellation trends that deserve a deeper investigation, which will be conducted through a questionnaire addressed to Italian firms that did not renew the registration in the last lustrum. The intended output will allow us to identify stakeholders' priority intervention areas in order to suggest an operative strategy to reduce EMAS cancellation rates, addressed to Member States (MS) Competent Bodies.
