Environmental issue is one of the major concerns for business and it can cause great
effect towards human health, business operation and surroundings. Unfortunately, this
problem is caused by the business activity itself. Poor management of operations like
chemical waste dumping would lead to pollution and more. Environmental Management
Practices (EMP) has been initiated by establishing policies to control these problems. The
purpose is to help organizations in managing their business and correcting the actions so
that the impact would be minimized. Hence, this research is being conducted to identify

adoption. With concepts of attribution theory, qualitative method is employed and the
case study is in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. Findings of this study showing the
positive results which indicate the awareness of EMP is high and believed can minimize
the impact of the business activities towards environment.
