Environmental Management Practice

The manufacturing sector in South East Nigeria has many challenges concerning the incorporation of sustainability into the corporate strategies and operations of the industry, given its extractive nature and the numerous social and environmental impacts related to production activity. Attaining organizational sustainability requires the implementation of environmental management practice tools that create long-term value by embracing opportunities and managing risks derived from economic, environmental, and social developments. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of environmental management practice tools on the sustainability of manufacturing organizations. The goal of the study was to determine the relationship between environmental management practice tools and sustainability. A survey design was used for this study. A total of 363 questionnaires were distributed to the employees of the manufacturing firms, which included managers, supervisors, and line staff. The data collected were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Primarily, the study established that environmental management practice tools were significantly and positively related to sustainability. Thus, the study concluded that environmental management practice tools contribute significantly and positively to firms’ social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the result of this study underlines the significance to manufacturing firms of carrying out environmental management practices. The ramifications are that manufacturing firms attempting to assert sustainability through EMP should have related knowledge with EMP. Furthermore, their environmental advantages will not convert into sustainability. The study adds to the body of knowledge by giving experimental pieces of proof identifying the interrelationships between EMP and sustainability.

The ASEAN population will increase to 724.8 million by the year 2030 and the urbanization rate increases with years. This leads to the development of the construction industry to fulfil the fundamental social and physical requirements. Construction activities create an adverse negative impact on the environment, such as pollution and damage to the environment. This article will study more about the construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) and it can be founded in various construction stages. Therefore, the government and authorities introduce environmental management practices to mitigate the negative impact on construction on the environment and minimize the pollution at the source. What, why and where are terms required to consider before the implementation of environmental management practice. The government policies of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand are summarized. Approximately 10% of total synthetic carbon dioxide (CO2) sourced from concrete production. The content more emphasizes the green materials generated from agricultural waste to replace the silica in concrete. The bamboo is used as interior decoration and material for building construction. Green materials technology is solar panel, solar thermal collector, geothermal technology, hydropower technology and cooling roof system.     

CONTRIBUTING TO APEA'S RESPONSE ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES — THE NEED FOR SHARING MEMBER COMPANIES' EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE

Environmental Management Practice

In early 1986 the APEA Environmental Affairs Committee developed an environmental policy to provide a framework for the Association's response on environmental issues which affect the petroleum industry. To fulfil the aims of this document there is a need for member companies to assist the committee in addressing and promoting the industry's environmental management aims. Environment is defined in broad terms in current legislation. To embrace this definition, APEA must adopt a position that reflects the industry's desire to be represented at the policy review stages of such environmental issues as land use proposals. Since 1971 only eight papers in the APEA Journal have addressed environmental issues. Companies have generally not shared or promoted their individual responses to such issues, although there would be value to the industry as a whole through identifying and discussing environmental management expertise and experience within APEA. Two examples of environmental management practice applied by CSR in Delhi Petroleum's activities in South Australia and Queensland are discussed: a demonstration seismic line within the Witjira National Park, South Australia and the use of rollers for seismic line preparation. Similar examples can probably be identified for all member companies. In generating a pool of operational examples, APEA might better represent the industry's ability and record in this field to governments and to the general public.
