| Abstract: | The authors present and discuss the results of empirical research on the implementation of standardized environmental management systems in companies. As there are basically two competing standards-the European Eco-management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and the worldwide standard IS014001-the focus of the paper is on potential different and common features of corporate implementation, experiences and impacts. Although the methodical approaches of the empirical research projects differ to a great extent, their results are quite similar: the experiences of companies with environmental management systems do not really differ with respect to the formal standards underlying them but to the corporate culture and the strategic importance environmental orientation has for the company. |
