Nowadays, a considerable number of organizations are practicing green management from a global perspective. Many companies have now realized that there is a need to adapt to formal environmental practices and comply with international environmental standards due to growing global environmental concerns. This book organizes the concepts, processes, requirements and challenges related to quality management practices in a pragmatic approach to trigger the interests and readership of academicians and researchers. This study critically discusses quality management practices considering quality assurance, continuous process improvement, human resources management, benchmarking, management leadership, information and analysis and service design. If there is an increase in the global demand for sustainable products, then there could be a need for continuity in the capacity of the local and multinational companies to get certified. Therefore, this book considers quality management practices and ISO quality standards. This book reports the current trends of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 adoption in the Malaysian food and beverage industry. Pushing Malaysia towards the adoption of advanced quality practices has called for the critical analysis of quality management practices in the industries from a perspective of sustainability. Sustainability practices in manufacturing industries will both prevent internal economic and environmental damages and boost the economy by attracting international companies seeking investment related to the three bottom-line sustainability. This book also highlights the link between quality management practices and sustainability. In furtherance, quality management practices as antecedents of excellence are discussed and how excellence models in the manufacturing industry are important. This book highlights models such as European Foundation Excellence Model (EFQM) (1991), the Model of Peters and Waterman (1982), the Japanese Deming Award Model (1951), the Model of Malcolm Baldrige (1987), Leadership Excellence of Kanji, China Performance Excellence Model, and Malaysian Total Performance Excellence Model. This is good news for the future of quality professions and their alignments. Therefore, this book tightens the gap between academics and practitioners by providing solid insights into the relevant subjects and hopefully contributing to the knowledge of organizational excellence and quality managers who are leading 21st-century organizations and require excellence models for sustainability.

All organizations need to have an efficient and effective supply chain. The interconnected, interrelated and interlinked networks in today’s global business have pushed organizations to put greater emphasis on the supply chain to gain higher positive impact on their business bottom line. On the other hand, supply chain may also result in negative impact to the world due to the irresponsible business organizations. Despite the financial gain of the business, the environment and the society have to pay for the price of irresponsible actions of these organizations. As a result, the concept of Green Supply Chain has emerged to be as a solution to various societal and environmental problems. The aim is to achieve more sustainable development in doing a business. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) is the key and the climate change is the central issue to address today. This book discusses the importance of green supply chain to organizations and offers various suggestions to be green to the environment and society. The content is divided into 3 main parts: (1) Overview of the green supply chain management, (2) Green Strategy and Operations, and (3) Green Cycle. It is hoped that the book be useful to all particularly to organizations as well as researchers in practicing and researching on a supply chain agenda. Ultimate aim is for us to be responsive and responsible in providing product and services to our customer, society and environment.

"Biochar is the carbon-rich product when biomass (such as wood, manure, or crop residues) is heated in a closed container with little or no available air. It can be used to improve agriculture and the environment in several ways, and its stability in soil and superior nutrient-retention properties make it an ideal soil amendment to increase crop yields. In addition to this, biochar sequestration, in combination with sustainable biomass production, can be carbon-negative and therefore used to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, with major implications for mitigation of climate change. Biochar production can also be combined with bioenergy production through the use of the gases that are given off in the pyrolysis process.This book is the first to synthesize the expanding research literature on this topic. The book's interdisciplinary approach, which covers engineering, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, economics and policy, is a vital tool at this stage of biochar technology development. This comprehensive overview of current knowledge will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and professionals in a wide range of disciplines"--Provided by publisher.
