Abstract

The Green Mark eco-label constitutes an essential program introduced by Taiwan's Environmental Protection Administration to support environmental protection. In the manufacturing industry, the Green Mark eco-label is intended to enable differentiating between manufacturers that apply green processes and those that do not. This paper presents an assessment model for identifying manufacturers' initial intention to apply the Green Mark eco-label. The model was derived from the certification process flow. A total of 200 structured questionnaires were distributed to manufacturers in Taiwan, and 172 responses were retrieved. The model was analyzed by applying structural equation modeling, and the correlation of review process and end certification process exhibited the strongest correlation. Improving the document verification stage is highly likely to increase the overall initial intention ofmanufacturers to participate in the Green Mark eco-label program. The overall certification process contributed 16% to the total initial intention of manufacturers to apply the Green Mark eco-label to their products.
