Abstract

This chapter explores the critical role of leadership in the successful implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) within organizations. As businesses face increasing pressure to address environmental concerns and adopt sustainable practices, the integration of EMS has become a strategic imperative. This chapter examines how effective leadership can drive the adoption and ongoing success of EMS initiatives, focusing on key strategies that leaders can employ to overcome challenges, foster organizational buy-in, and create a culture of environmental responsibility. The unique contribution of this chapter lies in its synthesis of leadership strategies specifically tailored to the EMS implementation context, offering novel insights into how leaders can navigate the complexities of environmental management while driving organizational change. By bridging the gap between leadership theory and environmental management practice, this chapter provides valuable guidance for both scholars and practitioners in the field of green management and organizational behavior.
