Abstract
This research focuses on the green management practices that are employed when organizations begin the journey from regulatory adherence to gaining a sustainable competitive advantage.
Even though complying with environmental regulations is a necessity in the fields of energy, emissions, waste, and conservation of resources, organizations are being pressured to apply green management practices in a “beyond the fence” manner when the organizations are concerned with the prevention of liability and the legal aspects of managing green resources.
Utilizing the available literature on sustainability strategy and management, the research defines green management practices as the ability to function as a system at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels and as a multidimensional system.
It is posited in this study that if integrated properly, green management practices would change the value of a proposition in products, processes, and services in return for the economic, environmental, and social benefits of the organization.
It has been pointed out in this study the great need to develop applicable frameworks that would integrate compliance-based green management practices with value-creating initiatives.
This would allow organizations to address the concerns and expectations of stakeholders while improving the organization’s performance.
This study enhances the understanding of how organizations can incorporate sustainability into their core business strategies and decision-making processes by transforming green management from a compliance cost to a strategic differentiation advantage.
