There are several well-known organizations that develop and publish standards that are important to industry. Among these are the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), the Instrument Society of America (ISA), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL), the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The standards published by these organizations are for the use of manufacturing industries, consumers, and, in some cases, the general public. These standards are subject to periodical review, and industrial personnel must keep up to date with changes and revisions in order for industry to be in compliance with the regulations that control its operation.

Studies in GM can be viewed worldwide since the 1980s. Nonetheless, ‘Green Manufacturing’ released by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in 1996, systematically increased the GM’s definitions, connotation and basic ideas and later released ‘Green Manufacturing Trends’. (Rong and Ling 2012). GM is a production method that minimises natural resources as input, minimises energy and cost processes and produces finished goods to minimise pollution and waste (Setyaningsih et al. 2019). GM pays attention to environmental issues like wastewater management and supply, regulatory compliance, wastewater recycling, and other waste issues (Logesh and Balaji 2021). The core principle of green manufacturing is to implement advanced technologies to control pollution to increase resource efficiency and save the environment while using resources more productively (Omoush 2021).
An integrated framework of mimetic pressures, quality and environmental management, and firm performances

Initially, a total of 5000 phone lists from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) were selected after the careful screening of SIC codes, job function, and job title. But in order to ensure a high-quality and usable e-mail list with a high response rate, a telemarketing company contacted those targeted respondents via telephone explaining the study and asking about their qualifications to answer the survey and their willingness to participate in the survey. Two rounds of the calling project from the telemarketing company produced general information from a total of 600 respondents who agreed to participate in the survey. This information included a respondent name, job title, company name and address, phone number, and email address. Out of 600 respondents, 385 were obtained from the first round of the calling project, and 215 were obtained from the second round. Out of 600 email addresses, 47 failed to be delivered because the addresses were wrong, 15 respondents declined participating in the survey, and seven respondents expressed that they were not the right person to fill out the survey. As such, the total number of usable email addresses was 531. From these, 255 survey responses were received. After screening, 43 of the surveys were deleted from the database because they were incomplete. Therefore, the final number of complete and usable responses was 212, representing a response rate of 39.9% (calculated as 212/[600 − 69]).
