“…The CP methodologies have been developed by the Industrial Development Organization and also Environment Programmes of the United Nations, hence organizations systematically can minimize their emissions and waste (Kliopova and Staniskis, 2006;Hicks and Dietmar, 2007;Lukena et al, 2016).…”

By review of previous research, cleaner production (CL) and environmental management (EM) can improve sustainable product innovation (SPI) and thereby company's performance (financial/non-financial). This study is trying to measure the impact of cleaner production and environmental management on sustainable product innovation and company's performance while performance includes four perspectives according to the balanced scorecard (BSC) model. The proposed perspectives of BSC consist of financial performance, customer satisfaction, internal process, and learning and growth. 255 data were gathered from 10 large manufacturing companies of Iran. The outcome of regression analysis showed that CP has significant impact on customer satisfaction, financial performance, and learning growth. Besides, EM only affects customer satisfaction and internal process significantly and positively. Except financial performance all perspectives of performance can be affected by SPI.

“…It should be considered that companies are able to optimize new product development and production process by using the environmental practices for example Cleaner Production methods (CP) that was presented by United Nations Industrial Development Organizations as well as United Nations Environment Programmes, hence organizations systematically can decrease their emissions and waste (Klipova and Staniskis, 2006;Hicks and Dietmar, 2007;Lukena et al, 2016).…”

Abstract:The current study attempts to link cleaner production and environmental management to sustainable product innovation and performance. Extant research only focused on financial performance while this study applied balanced scorecard (BSC) model for this purpose. As shown in the proposed framework of this study, cleaner production and environmental management can affect sustainable product innovation and thereby performance (financial, customer satisfaction, learning and growth, and internal process). It should be mentioned that the focal scope of this study is Iran.

“…Although comparatively small, footprint of tourism sector is important and has to be addressed. The EU Action Plan for Energy identifies the tertiary sector, including hotels, as having the potential to achieve 30% savings on energy use by 2020 through energy efficiency and use of renewable energy -higher than savings from households (27%), transport (26%) and the manufacturing industry (25%) (Hotel Energy Solutions, 2011 tomorrow's most pressing environmental and resource use challenges, at the local, national and global scales (Viera and Amaral, 2016;Luken et al, 2016). In 2013 UNIDO launched the project "Regional networking for strengthening cooperation and fostering transfer and adaptation of resource efficient and cleaner production (RECP) in the countries of South-Eastern Europe", in which Sustainable Tourism was one of the priorities.…”

The aim of the paper is to present the results of the application of the RECP methodological approach in the accommodation sector of countries from the Balkan region -Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. It is based on the experience from 2015 in 20 hotels (5 in each country), undergone detailed in-plant assessments. The methodology lays down on the understanding that RECP is a continuous application of an integrated preventive environmental strategy applied to processes, products and services to increase overall efficiency, and reduce risks to humans and the environment. Based on the obtained data for the material and energy flows, the paper provides a summary and analyses of the most often proposed and implemented measures. A set of absolute and relative indicators (KPIs) for resources use (energy and water consumption) and pollution generated (air emission and waste water) is used and the expected change due to the implementation of the accepted options is calculated. The performance of the accommodation facilities is compared to the international benchmarks available. The results of the study come to show the great potential of the accommodation sector for more sustainable production and outline the focal points of intervention needed.
