The intensity of the ecological problems the country faces, led Morocco, under the influence of international pressure to establish formal policies for environmental protection and resources in the context of a comprehensive environmental governance. Environmental governance is a new form of participatory democracy. It requires dialogue, cooperation and partnership among all actors of sustainable development. In this sense, the challenges of good regional governance militate in favor of a new regional configuration to cultivate managerial management practices and to involve recipients in the development of collective choices. As such, it is recommended to strengthen in the Doukkala region; second economic center and agricultural granary of the country; near the structures of information, debate, discussion and follow-up on environmental projects. To do this, the advanced regionalization would have real political impact, which should be his, that if people feel, within a reasonable time, a significant change in their living conditions. In this perspective, environmental protection must be strategic thinking in the region and must be part of the broader context of the issue of sustainable development.
The diversity of constraints and opportunities faced by businesses, especially, economic and financial globalizations, the interdependence of economies, regulatory and technological changes and the internationalization of production systems, opens the door to new environmental challenges which currently does not only represent additional constraints but also new opportunities, even new business. Environmental governance is a hot topic for researchers in science and environmental management. The implementation of this governance in the company ensures effective and sustainable value creation process complies with all internal and external parties involved, and in compliance with legal regulations, internal regulations and ethical principles. Environmental governance is one of the major concerns of the group's leaders. For practice, they have adopted organizational measures recommended by the overall company policy. In this work, we are interested to the environmental practices and the role assigned to the management in order to analyze the environmental governance of OCP Jorf Lasfar. This analysis concerns its environmental policy based on the Environmental Management System according to ISO 14001 standards.
The System of Environmental Management is set up in the company according to the directives of the standard ISO 14001 for the control of the environmental impacts linked to its activity and also the respect for the regulations and laws in vigours. ISO 14001 is based on the environmental principle of continuous improvement of the performance of the company. So installed, the environmental politics of the company allows directly the respect for three pillars of durable development. The present research with the Cosumar Sidi Bennour company demonstrates that the establishment of EMS according to ISO 14001 allows respect for the environment, the economic earning that allows a social emergence and thus an positive impact on the durable development of the region.
