Thus, it is necessary to provide and compile like of base and principle of green business, green productivity and green government in order to economize in limited resources rationally and to retain resources for next generations (Pineda, 2004). It is the combined application of appropriate productivity and environmental management tools, techniques and technologies that reduces the environmental impact of an organization‘s activities, products and services while enhancing profitability and competitive advantage. Using the GP approach, companies can put in place waste minimization programmes first and thereafter build a formal management system to support those programmes. By implementing GP, companies can enjoy many cost savings.
