Abstract
It is no doubt, an awareness of environmental responsibility is currently taking place. Locally, Bursa Malaysia has unveiled Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Index in 2014 for public listed companies (Berhad)aiming to boost sustainability practices. Internationally, two of the world largest companies; Apple Incorporation – the most valuable companies in the world and Wal-Mart Incorporation – the world largest company in term of revenue are actively engaging with sustainable practices (Deloitte CFO Insights, 2009). As such, a company’s superb performance is no longer constrained on economic expects but has extended to environmental and social matters which named as sustainable performance. Yet, the practice of sustainability in developing nations such as Malaysia is relatively extreme low especially manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Essentially theExcel of Malaysian manufacturing depends on the scrutinization from developed counterparts in term environmental compliance. Aiming to encourage sustainable practices among manufacturing companies, particularly environmental area; thestudy will develop environmental capabilities indicators aiming to lead higher organization performance with ultimately boost up the sustainability practice. The technique of Amos 18 is applied in this study. Essentially, this study has successfully revealed comprehensive environmental capabilities indicators. In a nutshell, an organization with strong performance definitely possess appropriate indicators of environmental capabilities indicators. As such, regulatory bodies like The Electrical and Electronics Association of Malaysia (TEEAM) and The Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), Malaysia Institute of Accountant (MIA), must lead and be proactive in promoting sustainable practices among Malaysian manufacturing companies. They can unlock the study finding in drafting their policies and encourage companies to implement it.

Abstract
Landfilling, which has emerged as the most common method for disposal of solid waste and selection of appropriate landfill for solid waste management, is a crucial aspect in urban planning. It is compulsory to consider the various criteria, such as environmental, economic, and social criteria, in order to get the best search outcomes that can minimise the adverse effects of the surrounding population. As widely known, the process of selecting new landfills is divided into two important phases, which are: 1) the determination of potential candidate locations through an initial screening, and 2) suitability assessment based on several criteria. Previously, issues related to landfill site selection have been successfully solved by using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multiple Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques, either individually or as an integrated approach. With that, this research aims to assist the authorities in planning a single landfill site selection by utilising all the available resources, which translates being cost-effective. Therefore, the Nearest Greedy (NG) technique had been employed to assess all five potential candidate locations by considering several related constraints. Next, the solutions were ranked based on the total distance travelled by vehicles in completing the overall waste collection process. The proposed approach was tested on a real dataset of the waste collection problem in a district located within the Northern Region of Peninsular Malaysia, which consisted of 146 residential areas and involving up to 18749 unit premises. After that, the solution obtained was compared with the present operating landfill facility, in which Candidate 4 appeared as the best alternative with a 6.74% reduction of total distance travelled, in comparison to the present operating landfill method. As such, the proposed solution may aid the local authorities and serve as a guideline in identifying suitable locations for waste disposal based on availability resources, which can discard unnecessary expenditure, such as fuel consumption.
