Earlier research emphasized the importance of such initiatives, while more recent studies aim to identify factors that facilitate or hinder their implementation. The introduction of ISO 14001 has shifted focus towards corporate environmental management systems (EMS), with the premise that such systems are essential for reducing waste and pollution while enhancing overall performance. This study examines that premise using survey data from Saudi Arabia managers, evaluating their perceptions of EMS and ISO 14001. It compares the impacts of having a formal EMS without certification to having a certified EMS. Findings reveal that firms with a formal EMS perceive benefits beyond pollution control, including significant improvements in various operational performance areas. Furthermore, firms with certified EMS experience even greater performance impacts compared to those without certification. Additionally, long-term experience with EMS amplifies the adoption and application of environmental strategies. These findings highlight the importance of further research into EMS, firms' environmental choices, and the relationships between EMS and performance outcomes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2025 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
