Organizations that are successfully certified with IS014001: 2004 standard are expected to demonstrate continual improvements in their environmental performances and controls on its significant environmental impacts of its activities, products and services, and achievement of their set environmental objectives and targets. Therefore, environmental programs and innovations are needed for not only for eco-efficiency and environmental performances, but to meet with the global and market pressures towards sustainable green technology and businesses. This paper also attempts to discuss employees’ involvements in EMS innovations and its integration in the production systems towards eco‐efficient production processes and producing substituted environmentally-friendly products, minimization
of wastes and reducing environmental impacts such as pollution to the earth. Factors such as related government regulations and other requirements, and organizational compliances are also discussed to assess its implications on the EMS and the organizational performances towards green technology. |
