“…This could be problematic, particularly as organizations are no longer solely focusing on providing products, but are also expected to be providing solutions, such as consultancy to customers of their products, so that the customers get the most out of their purchase [103]. Some organizations even package their market offering as an entire system, providing initial consultancy, set up, the product itself, and after sales service support/vendor support [127][128][129]. Hence, it is important to investigate the eco-innovation practices of companies that are moving towards servitization in the form of product-service system and service provisions.…”

The growing concerns surrounding the precarious state of the biosphere have triggered organizations to develop and implement innovations that curb environmental degradation (eco-innovation). However, eco-innovation is a risky proposition for organizations and their stakeholders, due to uncertainty of outcome. Despite the high investment risk of eco-innovation, the literature that assesses eco-innovation outcomes from an organizational performance perspective is scant. Thus, this paper uses a systematic approach to review eco-innovation and performance literature. The eco-innovation and performance literature reviewed in this paper is sourced from the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) scientific databases. Results from this systematic review suggest that the capital market stakeholder group—an essential stakeholder group—has received little attention in the eco-innovation and performance literature. This is alarming, as this stakeholder group is expected to act in the best interests of the organization—as well as the other stakeholders—especially during strategy formulation and implementation. This paper also finds that the resource-based view and stakeholder theory are frequently utilized in explaining eco-innovation. However, the natural resource-based view is least utilized, despite growing environmental pressures. A multi-theoretical perspective can help to overcome the limitations of one theory, as well as help to unearth additional organizational factors which could potentially catalyze the eco-innovation and performance relationship.

“…However, companies that engage in new CE activities need to find favourable institutions that do not block their circular activities (Whalen et al, 2018). Business models in the photovoltaic industry are very influenced by regulations (Overholm, 2015;Schmidt-Costa et al, 2019) and subsidies (Huijben and Verbong, 2013;Huijben et al, 2016); see more in the related publication by the author (e.g., Wasserbaur and Sakao, 2018). Industrial symbiosis has been hampered by regulatory obstacles that are in place when turning waste back into raw materials (Salmi et al, 2012).…”
