| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this master’s thesis was to determine the extent of the impact on the benefits obtained by companies after implementing an Environmental Management System cause by the motivations to implement such management systems and by the barriers encountered during the implementation process. In order to conduct the master thesis’ research, two methods were used. The first one consisted in an empirical method, specifically the survey, which was used to gather the primary data required for this research. A total of 51 companies out of 668 Lithuanian companies that have implemented the ISO 14001 standard answered the survey. The second research method was regression analysis, which was used to test the statistical hypothesis of this research. The results from the regressions show that most motivations to implement an Environmental Management System, as well as the barriers encountered during the implementation process have a weak impact on the benefits perceived by companies. Only a specific motivation, improvement of company's environmental performance show a relatively moderate impact on the benefits obtained by companies. |
