The concept of the circular economy is becoming an increasingly important issue within the economic and political sphere. The aim of the study is to check the opinions of representatives of organizations on the need to act in accordance with the principles of the circular economy concept in organizations and to indicate the differences in these opinions, taking into account the following aspects: the number of implemented management systems and the FSMS implementation. The survey method was used in the study. The surveyed organizations were divided into groups according to two criteria: having implemented food safety management systems and the total number of implemented management systems. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to analyze differences between groups. The conducted research showed that the organizations with more than three MSSs perceive a greater need to act in accordance with the principles of the CE than other companies. There was no sufficient proof to support the hypothesis concerning the higher engagement of food sector organizations in circular economy activities. The size of the organization is a factor that is also irrelevant in this context.
... A number of studies have demonstrated the advantages that firms may achieve by adopting ISO 14001; most of them categorize the benefits as environmental management (EM), environmental indicators (EIs), and environmental awareness and social aspects (EA) [2,3]. Unfortunately, ISO 14001 literature does not agree on the effect of adopting the standard on the environment [4]. Furthermore, few research works have investigated the drawbacks of implementing the standard and showed that the cost of adopting ISO 14001 could be high [5]. ...

The most frequent drawback of ISO 14001 observed in existing studies relates to the cost of certification and implementation process. This drawback requires scaling the benefits of adopting the standard to assign organizations limited resources based on each benefit scale. This paper reports the first research results that scale the benefits of adopting the standard. A quantitative method was adopted, where data were collected using a questionnaire survey. A total of 120 respondents were recruited from organizations operating in six industrial sectors to take part in the study. MANOVA and discriminant analysis methodologies were used to analyze the 14 most cited benefits in the literature on adopting the standard. A novel feature of our approach is the comprehensive statistical analysis of the collected data, which yields robust results due to assumption satisfaction. The results demonstrated that the mean vector of the benefits was not equal per each sector. Environmental management and indicator dimensions can discriminate sectors more than the environmental awareness dimension. This study provides insights into the necessity of assessing the benefits of ISO 14001 adaptation that helps organizations allocate their limited resources optimally and support the listing of standard key performance indicators in ISO 14001. In addition, it calls for combining ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 in one standard.

EMS in accordance with ISO 14001: 2015 is considered an entry point to reduce environmental impacts, especially the effects resulting from the oil industry, which is the main source of environmental pollution and waste of natural resources, since the second revision of the standard took place in September 2015. The problem of the research was manifested in the weakness in understanding the correct guidelines that must be followed in order to obtain and maintain the standard. The purpose of this research was to give a general picture of what is behind ISO14001:2015 and how it is possible to create a comprehensive base for understanding its application by seeking the gap between the actually achieved reality, standards requirements, and the diagnosis of their causes in the Medline Oil Company/ A field east of Baghdad by using the checklist and a number of statistical analysis methods (arithmetic mean, weights and percentages). The research reached a number of results; the most important of which is the existence of a gap in the application of the standard at a rate of (47.03%) resulting from a weakness in the application of most of the standard’s clauses in the company and lack of interest in the programs related to the treatment and reduction of environmental impacts. The added value in this research is evident by diagnosing the strengths and weaknesses in each clause of the environmental specification in preparation for setting plans to eliminate or reduce the gap in the company under consideration. Paper type: Case research.

Sensory attribute is one of quality parameter that affects buying intention of consumer for commercial instant chocolate drink product. Evaluation of consumer liking using hedonic method or ideal profile method was not enough to fulfill consumer satisfaction. This research aims to identify sensory attributes which are able to give consumer satisfaction using survey method integrated with structural equation model (SEM), Kano method, and total unduplicated reach and frequency (TURF). Kano method is used to evaluate sensory attributes based on consumer satisfaction, while TURF is used to identify sensory component which is able to increase buying intention of consumers with regard to the range and frequency for chocolate instant commercial drink. Preliminary research conducted by modelling consumer preferences suggested that there was an influence of 0.76 sensory attributes to consumer satisfaction. Seven samples were purchased from market and evaluated by 30 untrained panelists using home use test with an approach of consumer habit to consume hot chocolate drink once a week. The panelists were chosen from people who consume commercial instant chocolate drink. Results of this research showed that sensory attributes creamy (texture) and dark chocolate (color) were attractive features which were able to improve consumer satisfaction. Atribute sweet (taste) was categorized as must-be features, while flavor, aroma, and color were classified as one-dimensional features. Combination of attributes in one category can improve the range to reach the targeted consumers and frequency of consumers towards the product, for example attribute creamy can reach 97%, but combination of attributes creamy and thickness can reach 100% of the targeted consumers.
