  • improving the Environmental management of small scale gold mining in ghana a case study of dumasi
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2003
    Co-Authors: Marc Babut, R. Sekyi, A. Rambaud, S. Tellier, W. Bannerman, M Potingautier, C. Beinhoff
    Abstract:

    Abstract In April 2000, a UNIDO study was carried out in Dumasi, Ghana, the purpose of which was to determine the Environmental impacts of mercury prior to the introduction of (mercury) retorts. The sampling program was intended to identify mercury transfers to rivers, soil systems and groundwater. Results show a diffuse contamination of all Environmental media in the village. Although there is no evidence of groundwater contamination, sediments are significantly contaminated, and most fish fillets have mercury contents exceeding the United States Food and Drug Agency (US-FDA) action level, and are therefore unfit for human consumption. Mercury losses mainly occur during amalgamation, and have resulted in widespread pollution of soils and sediments throughout the village. Transparent retorts have been introduced and Environmental Training is ongoing but these efforts have only partially addressed the mercury problem in Dumasi.

  • Green Training for sustainable procurement? Insights from the Brazilian public sector
    Industrial and Commercial Training, 2017
    Co-Authors: Claudia Gomes Aragão, Charbel José Chiappetta Jabbour
    Abstract:

    Human resources practices, particularly regarding Environmental Training, play a key role in the dissemination of sustainable supply chain practices, especially sustainable procurement. Both Environmental Training and sustainable procurement can prompt Environmental maturity (EM) among organizations. However, little is known about the relationship between Environmental Training and the adoption of sustainable procurement in public sector organizations of emerging economies, such as Brazil. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between Environmental Training and the adoption of sustainable procurement in three Brazilian public/state universities.,This research is qualitative and includes an exploratory study based on in-depth interviews with experts from the procurement section of Brazilian public universities. A methodological framework is proposed to analyze the results. The main questions that guided this study were: is there a relationship between the Environmental-Training initiatives and the adoption of sustainable procurement? Does this relationship, whether positive or negative, improve the maturity of Environmental sustainability? And what is the future outlook for this issue in the context of public universities in Brazil?,According to the results’ analysis, the impact of sustainable procurement practices among the public organizations analyzed was almost void. The Environmental Training produced limited accomplishments, although respondents viewed it as a source of potential improvement, which indicates a co-evolution of sustainable procurement, Environmental Training and EM. In the cases analyzed, an alignment was identified among the levels of sustainable procurement and Environmental Training adoption.,It was identified that the lacks of Training and support from senior management, Environmental culture, great bureaucracy and economic factors were considered barriers and difficulties to implementing Environmental procurement practices. These barriers deserve further study.,There is a lack of research on the relationship between Environmental Training and the adoption of sustainable procurement in emerging economies and in public sector organizations.

  • Environmental Training and Environmental management maturity of Brazilian companies with ISO14001: Empirical evidence
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015
    Co-Authors: Charbel José Chiappetta Jabbour
    Abstract:

    Abstract In the search for more Environmentally sustainable organisations, scholars devoted to the subject of Environmental management in industrial organisations are increasingly interested in identifying the human, organisational or technical factors that may be related to the Environmental management maturity of those companies. In this context, based on the emerging literature on natural resource-based view of the firm and on green human resource management , one can question whether Environmental Training is, in fact, related positively and significantly with the maturity of the Environmental management of companies with ISO14001 located in Brazil. To address this question, a quantitative, exploratory, survey-based study, in which the collected data were subsequently processed using structural equation modelling, was performed using data from 95 companies. The results indicate the following: confirmation of the research hypothesis H 1 , i.e., that the construct Environmental Training (ET) relates positively and significantly with the Environmental management maturity (EMM) of the companies in the sample, and the power of determination of ET over EMM can be considered “large”.

  • Green Training supporting eco-innovation in three brazilian companies: Practices and levels of integration
    Industrial and Commercial Training, 2014
    Co-Authors: Angelo Saturnino Neto, Charbel José Chiappetta Jabbour, Ana Beatriz Lopes De Sousa Jabbour
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show results from the relationship between green/Environmental Training and the development of three projects of low-carbon eco-innovations in top Brazilian companies. Design/methodology/approach – This study includes three organizational projects for low-carbon eco-innovations in products (A, B and C) with the objective of reducing their impact on GHG emissions, the so-called low-carbon products. Data were collected from several sources of evidence, including in-depth interviews, document analyses and direct observations. Findings – The authors verified that the Environmental Training interface for mitigating climate change is relevant for the systematic development of low-carbon products in most of the cases studied. Originality/value – Low-carbon eco-innovations are a trend in the corporate world; however, there is not enough literature and practical evidence on this subject. Thus, this paper adds new evidence to the literature.

  • Environmental Training in organisations from a literature review to a framework for future research
    Resources Conservation and Recycling, 2013
    Co-Authors: Charbel José Chiappetta Jabbour
    Abstract:

    Abstract Although the research on the relationship between human factors and Environmental sustainability is slowly progressing, Environmental Training has attracted the most attention from researchers and practitioners. However, there remains a lack of research that integrates and systematises the available knowledge on organisational Environmental Training. Environmental Training is fundamental to any successful activity of Environmental management, conservation and recycling of resources. Thus, the aim of this paper was to present the results of a systematic literature review on Environmental Training in organisations. The main studies in this area were classified and coded, and a research agenda with 9 recommendations that may advance the field was presented. As a result of the gaps in the current literature, a framework was proposed aiming guide and strengthens the state-of-the-art research on Environmental Training. Additionally, results show that more research is needed on Environmental Training, combining Training and green human resource management and defining/measuring the objectives of the Environmental Training actions. Future studies should also consider mixed methodologies and comparative perspectives.
