Track: Total Quality Management (TQM)

Abstract

The environment has been a significant concern for practitioners in recent years, so the goals related to environmental sustainability encouraged industries to adapt the green practices. This paper explores green operational practices associated with environmental standards and their comparative impacts on Indian organisations. A major reason for this study is to gain awareness and understanding of environmental sustainability. The green practices are majorly based on environment management, and we have selected a great philosophy related to environment management,i.e., Total Quality Environmental Management (TQEM). This leads us to perform a short literature review for Quality Management and Environmental Management to identify the critical barriers and enablers of Total Quality Environmental Management (TQEM) for its sustainability. The findings of this paper will lead the managers and practitioners to carry organisations towards more environmentally sustainable goals.The environment has been a significant concern for practitioners in recent years, so the goals related to environmental sustainability encouraged industries to adapt the green practices.
