The changes in the global environmental conditions have placed great challenges to the governments, industries and societies. Business organizations are often blamed to be the sources of these environmental problems. Their role in mitigating these problems shall not be underestimated. Higher environmental performance can be translated into eco-advantage which enhances a firm’s competitiveness. Drawing from the resource-based theory, this study aimed to examine the internal and external factors influencing the environmental performance of firms certified under the ISO 14001 in Malaysia. Five hypotheses were generated by taking into consideration two internal factors (i.e. environmental policy and environmental training) and three external factors (i.e. regulatory stakeholders’ pressure, community stakeholders’ pressure and customer pressures). The total population of the study was 643 firms. Thus, this study employed census, with all the 643 firms used in the study. Five (5) face-to-face interviews and thirty (30) pilot tests from 15 firms were conducted to pretest the survey questionnaire.
