Article Description

Changes in consumer behavior and the complexity of organizational decision-making, environmental regulations, and policies are the bases for transforming manufacturing processes to reduce the usage of natural resources and environmental impact. Traditional manufacturing and management methods limit corporate environmental performance assessment. The study aims to analyze the environmental performance of 349 manufacturing organizations in terms of their management of water, energy, and hazardous and non-hazardous waste. A descriptive correlational study based on principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA) was used as the methodological design. CA results showed that successful adoption of sustainable production programs is associated with behavioral patterns with regard to environmental performance. Six dimensions were identified through the PCA, with corporate and water resource management being the most prominent. Moreover, outsourcing waste management is critical to improving environmental performance.
