There were fifty (50) respondents from G1 until G7 contractors involved in the first phase of data collection. After that, the data were analyzed using the Relative Importance Index (RII) before the second phase of data collection took place. The result from RII established selected success factors to be included in the second phase of data collection. Questionnaires survey from the second phase of data collection were done to identify the interrelationship among each of the success factors. There were twenty-five (25) respondents who participated in this data collection. The questionnaires survey was designed based on DEMATEL questionnaires. DEMATEL was used to analyze the second data collection from respondents. By using the DEMATEL method, the interrelationship among each factor could be identified and a framework based on the relationship was proposed. The success factors underpinning the implementation of EMS are evidenced from the results of the framework. The success factors identified to have significant impact towards the implementation of EMS are management approach and technical aspects. Meanwhile non-success factors are organizational change and external and social aspects.
