Abstract: This study aims to examine the environmental sustainability perceptions of corporate managers in the oil and gas industry of Libya and the factors that effect this perception. Primary data was collected via a self-administered survey sent to 274 managerial and executive levels and was analysed using descriptive means and regression. The result shows that managers have high level of environmental sustainability perception. The results also show that only educational level have a positive and significant impact on managers' environmental sustainability perceptions. Limitation of this study is noted including the generalisability of the findings within organisation in Libya. The study has bridged the literature gaps in such that it offers empirical evidence and new insights on the environmental sustainability body of knowledge, which could be used to further improve the environmental sustainability perception in oil and gas companies in Libya.

Keywords: environmental sustainability; management perceptions; oil and gas; Libya.
