To be definite, "successful implementation" is defined as "certified by ISO 9000/14000 certification body". The research method is based on surveying the key facilitators, typically the "Management Representatives" of the environmental management system, of the organizations in study. There are about sixty organizations certified to ISO 14001:1996 in Hong Kong. Among the population, twenty-two organizations responded to the research.
