Abstract

Nowadays, the environment occupies more and more a priority thought for the public opinion as well as for the local authorities, the administrations and the companies. Environmental management improves the performance of any organization towards the environment. In this perspective, our work consists in developing a dashboard grouping all the environmental indicators and which can have a direct or indirect impact on the economic performance of the company starting from the implementation of an environmental management system based on the ISO 14001 standard. This table can serve as an environmental decision support tool while also analyzing the results of monitoring. This approach, key for sustainable development, is encouraged by public authorities and Moroccan economic actors.
