Although the quantity of micro and small businesses isbig, the majority of environmental practices are seen in medium and big business. Therefore,we aimed to identify if micro and small businesses are acknowledged by their goodenvironmental practices. A data bank from an annual prize award that shows goodenvironmental practices was used for the purpose of this article and we classified companiesaccording to their size. We did not surveyed micro or small business companies. WeRevista Científica Hermes 3: 6-13, 2010suggested that the main inhibitors for the introduction of environmental management into amicro or small businesses are the lack of money and technology. On the other hand, mediumand big companies look for best environmental performance due to the regulation,stakeholder’s pressure and free competition.
