Abstract: While models of environmental management have been proposed and tested using data from developed economies, less work has been done for transition economies. In this paper, we use 2003 data from manufacturing facilities in Hungary to study the impact that environmental stakeholder pressures (regulatory, community, investor, managerial), export orientation, size, foreign ownership and head office influence have on a facility's decision to adopt specific environmental management practices. Eight environmental management practices are examined both individually and jointly. Our results suggest that there are some significant differences in the factors influencing environmental management practices in Hungary relative to those found for developed economies.
