Abstract:

Production activities have constantly been continuing to cover people's needs since historical ages. The extravagant and careless usage of natural sources in meeting the need of raw material as a result of mechanisation after industrial revolution has caused an increasing destroy on the environment. Various steps are taken in all the world on behalf of preventing this negative situation especially created by industrial managements, organisations have started to adopt the green management understanding within the scope of sustainable production insight. While managements show the uttermost care to protect the environment in the production activities by green management understanding, they also aim at leaving a healthy nature for future generations by developing new projects to protect the nature. To sum up, an obligatory responsibility can be talked about for managements in terms of sustainability for the sake of our future. Since there is not enough work in the local literature, environmental awareness and green management issues have been emphasized. The effect of the applied green management philosophy on managements to be able to minimize the industry managements' negative influences on the environment has been studied in the light of related literature and an overall evaluation has been done.
