The main focus of this paper is on the product stewardship and pollution prevention. RV suggested that the important resource for the competitive advantage is precise inter-enterprise formation through long term partnership of organization. Resource based view suggested that there are three important strategic competences sustainable development, product stewardship and pollution prevention. All the competencies have diverse environmental forces, importantly shape upon dissimilar resources, and having competitive advantages of different resources. The study has used the SEM-PLS to analyze the data collected from the manufacturing firms operating in the Thailand. the results provide the support to the view that the companies with having higher level of SCI from the whole supply chain have the benefit for the implementation of environmental management activities and also access of knowledge sharing with supply chain partners. In addition to the new technology they can implement the innovations in production and can easily met the innovative demands of customers, which eventually leads towards higher innovation performance. EMP's and promotes the technological innovation, which can balance the cost and provide the first-mover benefit. With the deteriorating air quality, water pollution, soil pollution and other environmental issues enterprises are under pressure from government, society and supply chain members for the environmental protection. These findings suggest that precautionary and protective EMP's can promote the technological innovation performance efficiently. Meanwhile EMP's cost should be expanded whereas its advantages may realize in future. The short-term managers are liable to postpone investments in EMP's. the stsuya has used the sustainable management practices to view the issue.

AbstractEnvironmental and climate concerns have made corporate environmental management a raging topic for discussion among academicians and industrialists. The current study explores the association between corporate environmental management and firm performance; and examines the influence of different performance measurement methods and sample characteristics on this association. The meta‐analysis, homogeneity test, and publication bias test have been performed on 318 effect sizes from 117 studies. The results indicate a significant positive association between the overall corporate environmental management and firm performance association. The findings suggest a significant influence of the nature of the data, corporate environmental management measures, corporate performance measures, region, economic development, time phase, nature of data, and period of study in the given context. The findings will help managers to better understand and choose the appropriate corporate environmental management measures to attain internal and external efficiencies.

The aesthetic use of plants is a unique feature of horticulture which is also distinguishing it from other agricultural activities. The need to bring the attention of people and governments to the importance of maintaining the biodiversity of planet Earth and also ensuring that the on-coming generations inherit a cleaner, greener, more ecologically sustainable world cannot be overemphasized, and horticulturist have worked towards this goal by enhancing the beauty and quality of our surroundings. The urbanized environment, where 95 % of the world population lives, is a place plagued with excessive traffic, air and water pollution and the lack of open space, have destroyed natural diversity and beauty and thus, demand for massive increase in greenery and beautification for environmental restoration and protection. The functional and aesthetic interaction of people, building and site, using plants and space as its main tools is very important in solving environmental problems. In Nigeria for example the role of horticulture as a feasible means of improving urban green space, aesthetics and improvement of the built environment can be attested to through the growth of the green industry, persistent campaigns for more green spaces in the built environment and desire of the concerned government and public for developing sustainable landscapes that: beautify the environment; increase the diversity of plant and animal species; conserve water; reduce runoff and generally enrich the environment and people's lives. This increased interest in green spaces in modern cities ensured that government and urban planners now not only perceive horticulture as a means to urban development and aesthetics of the environment, but as one of the strategies to achieving green revolution in man's environment, and in urban centres. Hence, there is a need for policies that supports horticulture as a tool in city building and development. This paper therefore examined the significance of horticulture in environmental aesthetics and management of the landscape.

There is a direct correlation between the state of environment and environmental quality perception of individuals residing in the geographical entity. This study, working on the assumption that the more the awareness of quality environment the more the tendency to improve it examined the perception of entrepreneurs of industries and residents on the state of environmental management among 200 industries in Ondo state and 172 residents living within 100 meter radius to the sampled industries who were interviewed with different sets of questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using tables and charts. The mean weighted value (MWV) of each category of responses was compared with the group mean weighted value (GMWV) to isolate the most important responses. The study discovered that majority of proprietors, being lowly educated disposed wastes using crude means like burning (57%), burying (23%), disposing in the bush. (12%) and in drainages (11%). Out of the 200 residents sampled majority 87.2% (191) believed they were injuriously affected by the operation of adjoining factories. Moreover there existed a discrepancy of opinion among proprietors and people living nearby on the assessment of environmental management technique adopted in managing wastes. The paper posited that poor judgment by proprietors, inertia by government supervisory agencies, dirty attitudes of people and poor education among proprietors were the most important responses of people on reasons for poor state of waste management. The paper concluded that right perception of the problem through improved environmental education is essential for sustainable solution to wastes management in industries.

AbstractThe Department of Defense and the Navy have adopted policies to implement Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in accordance with
Executive Order 13148 by December 31, 2005. The Navy has published a draft guidance document identifying the content of a compliant EMS structured
around five major components and 16 elements within those components. However, the full benefit of an EMS in motivating behaviors that go beyond
compliance and directly show environmental contributions to mission accomplishment and readiness will not be achievable with a conventional EMS
solely oriented toward management of the four environmental program pillars. We recommend that the EMS interconnect both the compliance and voluntary
activities of environmental management with the business cycle (the set of iterative activities an organization uses to develop, deliver, and
support its products and services) and the measures of success that characterize both types of processes within the enterprise. © 2003

The current literature lacks an integrated and holistic understanding of what drives and inhibits the environmental management practices (EMPs) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), despite the large number of studies carried out in the area. In order to offer a nuanced understanding of the existing inventory of reported works on SMEs, this study provides a systematic literature review. Based on three theories (i.e., institutional isomorphism, the resource-based view and contingency), the study uses descriptive and thematic content analytical tools to find triggers for (i.e., external and internal) and barriers to the adoption of EMPs by SMEs. The analysis shows that both coercive pressures (especially legislation and customers' demands) and internal resource capabilities serve as significant triggers for the adoption of EMPs by SMEs. This study also finds internal organisational barriers, including lack of resources, acting as the main barriers. Both descriptive and thematic content analysis suggests several avenues for future research in this area.

Mass gathering events is very common in India due to which there have been various instances which has made certain negative impact on our environment. Kumbh Mela is one of the largest mass gathering event on the earth. It is one of the most important and sacred festival which is celebrated four times in 12 years on the banks of river Ganga (Haridwar), river Shipra (Ujjain) .
