Paper Summary

Environmental management systems (EMS) like ISO 14001 can lower energy efficiency by 6%–12% in South Korean plants. This trade-off can lead to reduced energy efficiency but improved pollution control. To balance this, sustainability managers should focus on incorporating energy management activities, using better energy efficiency measurements, and redesigning incentive schemes.
