Environmental Management System (EMS) is one of the environmental management practices which can assist organizations to meet their increasingly heavy onus of responsibility for better condition of future world’s environment.

Many studies have been carried out on investigating the benefits of the EMS, particularly for economy; however, none of these studies had shown any relation to a biological economics’ model. In this study, Bio-Economic Models have been examined for 45 firms at Kamunting Industrial Zone/Malaysia.

The study indicated that 7% of the surveyed firms faced around 30%-40% cost benefit in their total operation cost in 2006.
