Abstract
Drawing on institutional theory using data of S&P 500 listed firms over the period 2007
to 2018, this study examines the role of external environmental audit between
environmental management practices (EMP) and environmental performance. In
particular, we explore whether the integration of environmental audit with environmental
management practices contribute to desire environmental performance. This study adopts
generalized least squares (GLS), linear regression with random effects to examine the
relationship among variables. Empirical findings suggest that firms adopting the external
environmental audit instrument with the internal mechanism of EMP are found more
effective to exhibit better environmental performance. Furthermore, the findings also
confirm that the internal instrument of environmental management practices have
valuable capability to produce better environmental performance. Finally, the results
show that the operational implications of environmental audit need to be more focused by
researchers.
