| dc.description.abstract | The standard of ISO14000 published by International Standard
Organization has become the main tool for enterprises and organizations to
implement environmental management. Each enterprise has its own
backgrounds and characteristic, therefore, it will be different for environmental
management practices. Enterprises must construct their own environmental
management system to satisfy stakeholders and make related works smoothly.
This thesis is to study the current status of environmental management of the
waste processing industry and with the main objects which are not in centralized
management spots, e.g., the environmental science and technology parks. This
study shows the results of the environmental management performance statistics
of nearly four years for the case industry and interviews with their stakeholders
accordingly. It will face different pressures from both internal and external
aspects during the process of environmental management. From this study it is
found that external pressure is the main source of environmental management
that affects the industry of resource recovery. Among them, residents nearby and
environmental protection agencies affect far and more. They will even cause big
impacts on industry operations. Nevertheless, management performance affects
far more than operation performance for the case of waste processing industry,
which is the main differences between the case industry and other industry. It is
found that in the management performance aspect the environmental protection
penalty is reduced by 34%, 61.17% reduction for the amount of penalty, and
59.4% reduction for government inspection deficiency. In the operation
performance aspect, it shows positive results in manufacture efficiency, e.g.,
III
product quality, yield, energy resource consumption, and etc. Therefore, it is
concluded that measures taken for environmental management based on resident
expectations will have not only better environmental management performance
but also help smooth operation for enterprises. Because there is still 27% of
waste processing industry in the environmental science and technology parks,
the factors affecting related works of environmental management will not be
similar to the case industry studied. In addition, there are many ways to
implement environmental management, this study is focusing on the points of
environmental management system and environmental performance to explore
their environmental management for the case industry of waste processing. It is
suggested that the future research objects can be changed to and focused on the
waste processing industry in the area of the environmental science and
technology parks. Also it is suggested that the future researches can be focused
on environmental accounts, environmental risks, and other related concepts to
evaluate the differences with the case in this study and build more related
materials to let the study of environmental management works more completely. | en_US |
