Abstract:
The integration of green practices within the manufacturing sector holds significant importance since the manufacturing industry has contributed to the country's economic development. Any adverse environmental impacts stemming from this sector not only affect the ecosystem but also pose risks to human well-being. Green practices, designed to mitigate such impacts, strive to minimize environmental harm, conserve resources, and enhance production efficiency, all while prioritizing worker and public safety and health. Despite their potential benefits, the adoption of green practices remains relatively low among organizations. In addition, previous research has addressed aspects of green practices in other industries. This study uniquely focuses on identifying the key elements and success factors associated with the adoption of these practices in the manufacturing industry. Hence, this study aims to explore the various green practices prevalent in the manufacturing industry, clarifying their success factors and outcomes. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, the research identifies key elements discussed in prior studies about green practices. Additionally, it investigates the factors influencing the adoption of these practices and their resultant effects. The analysis reveals three prominent categories of green practices: green manufacturing, green supply chain management, and green logistics. This conceptual study provides insight into the adoption of green practices in Malaysia, emphasizing the drivers behind successful adoption and examining their associated benefits.
