Abstract:

Corporate environmental orientation has become a real factor in current competitive context. Environmental management system (EMS) implementation represents an important “strategic move” which can bring benefits and could become a competitive advantage leverage. The need to identify and to assess the evolution, associated to the “relation” between various representative organizational factors (corporate environmental orientation) and EMS, becomes an important managerial issue. The main objective of this research paper is to estimate the influence of corporate environmental orientation metrics on EMS implementation quality. The research results of this predictive analysis could help managers to take the necessary corrective measures and could lead to the improvement of the EMS implementation quality.
