N2 - Malaysia ranks 54 out of the 163 countries under the Environmental Performance Index and Environmental Management System (EMS) is becoming an important requirement for the manufacturing industries and companies are obtaining the ISO14000 EMS certification. However the real benefits are not realized by manufacturing sectors. Hence this research would be addressing the need to value the environment and the critical dimensions of ISO14000 EMS leading to effective implementation thereby helping in achieving corporate sustainability and examines the mediating relationship between the dimensions and corporate sustainability by proposing a model.The research is planned as a cross-sectional survey of manufacturing firms that have obtained ISO14000 certification and will be conducted in Klang Valley of Malaysia. Questionnaire-based survey will be used to obtain information and Structural Equation Modeling will be used to analyze the data. The findings will generate an effective EMS in line with the national agenda and will generate new ideas and knowledge by identifying the problems and giving innovative solution helping the Malaysian manufacturing industries to contribute positively towards valuing the environment endowment.
