摘要：This paper explores the role of environmental management practices on sustainable development. To promote corporate environmental management practices and green economic development, governments enact legislation aimed at curtailing damage to the environment; in addition to government regulation, some firms apply voluntary self-regulatory measures to limit their impact on local environments. This paper will critically review literature on current environmental management practices and their role on sustainable development. Based on the literature review of different sections of society, preliminary findings suggest that current environmental management practices have dissimilar effects on sustainable development. These practices in the fields of health and law are more indicative of policy based practices, while those in engineering and industry are more hands on. This paper concludes by recommending that these environmental management practices be harmonized across the different sectors of society which will result in improved sustainable development and promote green economic development.
