Abstract

This study aims to analyze and evaluate whether increased awareness regarding environmental issues has encouraged organizations to apply environmental management systems and use environmental management accounting (EMA), which drive environmental innovation, and thus enhance the company's environmental performance. There is, however, little evidence to consubstantiate this claim and thus this paper aims to investigate the issue. PT X is one of the largest steel companies in Indonesia. This study highlights the importance of using EMA in implementing an environmental management system within the company. It shows that even though an environmental management system has been installed by the company to avoid any serious impacts of environmental pollution (e.g., in the form of iron dust), the company has yet to implement an EMA system with environmental management reporting (e.g., in the form of a cost-benefit analysis) to address problems. The company carried out its environmental management system to comply with the prevailing legislation and regulation, rather than as an environmental strategy and innovation for the future sustainability of the business.
