The impact of environmental practices on firm performance raises an ongoing debate in which the review of the existing literature yields no conclusive results. Different methods have been used to study this relationship and most of the analyses have focused on manufacturing companies.

Second, through the regression analysis, findings showed that environmental practices impact significantly on several performance variables.
