description Most of the construction stakeholders around the world especially in developing countries are not really aware of the Environmental Management Practices (EMP) for their construction projects. Previous studies reported that EMP issues received less attention from the construction industry stakeholders compared to construction costs and time related issues.However, this trend has changed due to the depletion of non-renewable resources, greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.Based on these issues, construction stakeholders worldwide have given wider attention to EMP in their construction projects. Many efforts are being directed to build greener construction projects through proper application of EMP.The focus of this research is to introduce the concept of EMP in achieving sustainability in the Malaysian construction industry. The main objective of this research is to identify the importance of Project Manager and Project Team role for the successful implementation of EMP in the Malaysian construction industry.By using the survey method, questionnaires were sent to the Malaysian construction stakeholders that included consultants, contractors and clients, and 122 questionnaires were analysed. This study found that most of the construction stakeholders agreed that project team commitment, project manager’s leadership skills and communication system effectiveness are very important to ensure the success of EMP.The results further demonstrate that three of the independent variables - Project Manager and Project Team Competency, Project Management aspects, and Procurement Related Factors have significant relationships with EMP Success.
