Abstract

Green technology is identified as a new field that has grown quickly in this era as most of the people start aware of this technology which becomes the determinant on environmental issues. Green technology deals with using science and technology in order to protect environment. The main goal of green technology is to conserve nature and remedy the negative impacts that humans have on it. There are a lot of studies discussing green technology and only few studies are available in Malaysia. In this research, it aims on understanding green technology in Malaysia and a financial incentive that was launched by government that is Green Technology Financing Scheme (GTFS). The whole research focused on investigating the factors that influence the application of GTFS in green industries, the usage of GTFS in green industries and how GTFS affects company‟s business performance. This research involved two green companies which are the recipients of GTFS in Negeri Sembilan, and Johor. There are limited recipients in each state, thus, researcher tried to collect data according to their locations. This research is a qualitative research that used semi-structured interview and case study strategy by using cross-sectional time horizon. The finding showed the main reasons that they applied for GTFS due to financial factors as GTFS paid for the 2% of interest from the loan they borrowed from financial institutions. Apart from that, GTFS also used to improve their system and it gave impacts on increasing their profitability. Researcher proposed that GTFS should be continue to provide funds to local green industries and hopefully this research might become references to future research.
