| Abstract | ||
| Confronting the challenges associated with environmental commitment requires joint efforts from companies and the government together, and enhancing this commitment is not only an environmental necessity, but also a key factor in achieving long-term competitive advantages for industrial companies in the local and global market. Therefore, the research aimed to shed light on the importance of environmental commitment in the Egyptian industrial sector, by analyzing the extent of companies' commitment to environmental laws, identifying the challenges they face, and proposing innovative legal solutions that contribute to enhancing this commitment. The researchers relied on the descriptive analytical approach, and a questionnaire was designed to collect the necessary data from a sample of (167) industrial companies that were randomly selected to include many industrial activities from the governorates of (Cairo-Giza-Port Said-Suez). The results showed that companies realize the importance of environmental commitment and its role in improving their economic and operational performance, but the implementation of these commitments faces multiple obstacles, most notably the lack of government support and the economic burdens resulting from adherence to environmental standards. The study also showed that enhancing the culture of environmental commitment within companies, developing environmental infrastructure, and providing modern technology are essential elements for achieving a balance between sustainable manufacturing and environmental commitment. The researchers recommended adopting policies Integrated includes cooperation between government, companies and NGOs to achieve sustainable development goals and environmental commitment of industrial companies. | ||
