Abstract

The study aims to know the role of environmental vigilance in the sustainability of environmental and social performance, so as a result of wars and infections from factories, hospitals, natural disasters and the spread of viruses, we have not found any interest in the Ministry of Health and Environment. The role of the department is to investigate the level of environmental vigilance in the sustainability of environmental and social performance. Therefore, the results of the study indicate a link between environmental vigilance and sustainability of environmental performance, despite the high gap between them and the sustainability of environmental performance in the ministry. Especially in the technical department, which emphasizes the importance of the dimensions of environmental vigilance and its impact on improving the performance of the department in particular and the ministry in general.
