“…Of concern is the measurement or evaluation of performance [5,6,7]. In a survey of ISO 14001 certified companies by [7], the ISO 14001 "does not require companies to reach minimum levels of environmental performances (apart from legal compliance) nor does it supply methods to be used to measure continual improvement".…”

“…These standards, formulated with reference to a specific policy goal, necessitate the creation of a management system, which is divided into four phases according to the Deming Cycle methodology: Plan, Do, Check, and Act [47][48][49]. The relationship between hospitality, tourism, and environmental and/or sustainable systems is widely debated and sometimes criticized [50][51][52][53][54].…”

Sustainability is increasing in importance in relation to the competitiveness of winter tourism, particularly when considering mountain destinations. Exploring in more detail winter tourism related to ski resorts, operators are especially concerned about environmental issues caused by climate change. Therefore, they have gradually become aware of the importance of finding adequate solutions to cope with such issues as well as being able to sensitize tourists. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the different sustainable tools that can be adopted by the ski industry. In this field there appear to be two main approaches. The first line is that of sustainable labels being applied to local ski resorts; whereas the second consists in operators-such as the managers of cable cars-making use of specific labels or management systems that are environmentally oriented.

“…Furthermore, international standards for environmental performance evaluation are key elements that are designed to evaluate an organization's environmental performance by transforming new data into legible, easily understood information. In this study, we adopted the environmental performance indicators from ISO14031, which identified two types of indicators as follows [62,63]: (1) operational performance is an indicator that provides information about the environmental performance of an organization's operations, such as materials, energy, and services, which thus supports the organization's operations, and (2) environmental condition is an indicator that provides information regarding the direct effects of the organization's operations on the environment, which is particularly difficult to standardize or operationalize as local, regional, rational or global conditions of the environment. Based on the literature discussed above and on our hypotheses, a model of relations was formed (Figure 2), which showed the relationship between quality management, market orientation, and innovation capability on environmental performance.…”

Currently, the environment and sustainability are important topics for every industry. The food industry is particularly complicated in this regard because of the dynamic and complex character of food products and their production. This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) and a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to investigate which factors are suitable for evaluating the environmental performance of Thailand's food industry. A first-stage questionnaire survey was conducted with 178 managers in the food industry that obtained a certificate from the Department of Industrial Work of Thailand to synthesize the performance measurement model and the significance of the relationship between the indicators. A second-stage questionnaire measured 18 experts' priorities regarding the criteria and sub-factors involved in the different aspects and assessment items regarding environmental performance. SEM showed that quality management, market orientation, and innovation capability have a significantly positive effect on environmental performance. The FAHP showed that the experts were most concerned about quality management, followed by market orientation and innovation capability; the assessment items for quality policy, quality assurance, and customer orientation were of the most concern. The findings of this study can be referenced and support managerial decision making when monitoring environmental performance.
