N2 - This paper is based on a survey to analyze the current Environmental Management System (EMS), or Green Manufacturing (GM), practices in Hong Kong. The survey focuses, in particular, on the investigation of: (i) the critical factors that most companies have considered in implementing the GM or EMS; (ii) the benefits that the companies have targeted in implementing the GM/EMS; (ii) the business activities that the companies have carried out in striving for the targeted benefits; and (iv) the business benefits attainable in the implementation of the GM/EMS. The study results show that most of the companies used in the survey have a positive attitude towards the implementation of the GM/EMS. The majority of them also consider that GM/EMS can effectively strengthen their competitiveness in business.
