Abstract

This case study illustrates the application of environmental management accounting in a medium-sized coffee refining and exporting enterprise in Southern Vietnam, with the example of the Neumann Gruppe Vietnam Ltd. It examines the relevance of environment-related supply chain information derived from life cycle assessments for environmental management accounting and reveals possibilities to improve eco-efficiency at the site level and for its supply chain.
All company-related information provided in this case study has been disclosed by Neumann Gruppe Vietnam Ltd. and cross-checked by the authors. The information is partly simplified to ensure both confidentiality and a better understanding of the case.
