Socially responsible firms are the ones which act in accordance to sustainable development logic. Their engagement is materialised by deploying environment friendly practices such as environmental management system (EMS). Those systems have also a social purpose in the way that they allow enhancing work conditions of operators. However, their setting could be embarrassed by those ones because of the change of habits that it implies for them. The purpose of this study is to shore up this idea by resorting to a case study of a Tunisian firm in which the setting of the environmental management system turned failed in part because of the resistance of the personnel. We will defend the idea that practices of sustainable development and corporate social responsibilities couldn’t be correctly adopted by firms without taking into consideration to some organizational priors.
