Abstract: Little is known about the integration of green education, green cost and benefit analysis (CBA) and environmental awareness in Malaysian industries. This paper empirically tries to explore the relationships amongst these three key practices. However, a multi-dimensional conceptual model is developed and two hypotheses are postulated. Primary data through a structured questionnaire gathered from 300 managers in diverse industries. Both SPSS 22 and AMOS 22 utilised for hypotheses empirical investigation. Findings show that the linkage between green education and environmental consciousness is significant and supported whereas no relationship is observed between both green education and cost and benefit practices. It is concluded that these practices treated a useful guide for Malaysian manufacturers to further realise these practices, understand their importance. To be sustainable, managers have to focus on the themes of these key practices and their influence on daily operations that may impact the whole industries while applied successfully.
