Culture of the society in dealing with environmental issues, with a significance level of 5/54, had the greatest impact among the factors influencing the use of environmental management accounting tools.Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it is recommended that, by using personality tools, the right people should be appointed in organizational position in that agency to implement environmental management accounting and it is necessary to establish the use of tools in reducing environmental pollution.Keywords: EMA, Culture, Standard
