Abstract:
In a world where industrial development has grown rapidly, creating major environmental challenges, sustainable development has become a key priority for businesses. In this context, ISO 14001-certified Moroccan industrial companies are committed to environmental sustainability, which has a direct impact on their environmental performance management. National and international requirements, along with stakeholders' expectations, are the main reasons for considering the environmental aspect in the company’s management to ensure environmental sustainability. Thus, this study aims to understand how businesses' commitment to the environment contributes to the management of environmental performance. To do so, a qualitative approach was conducted, focusing on ISO 14001-certified industrial multinationals committed to environmental sustainability. The main results show that the commitment of Moroccan industrial businesses to sustainability goes beyond a mere statement of intent. It is reflected in the setting of an environmental strategy and concrete actions that integrate the companies into an environmental management system, having a significant impact on their competitiveness and performance.
