“…Therefore, the findings of our study empirically support the previous research by using a multivariate regression with interaction terms. This paper contributes to environmental research because a large amount of studies have mainly focused on the efficiency of the environmental regulation and the environmental management for large firms, even though the impact of SMEs on the environment has increased [17,88,89]. Our results show that SMEs are able to increase labor productivity by implementing environmental practices in spite of various obstacles such as the burden of additional cost and the shortage of capabilities for environmental innovation.…”

Abstract:As the impact of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on the environment increases, there is a need for effective environmental policies to sustain their development. Under this condition, SMEs implement innovation to meet environmental regulations and to achieve environmental competitiveness in sustainability. We examine the impact of environmental innovation on labor productivity in SME manufacturers. The literature shows that complementary assets help SMEs to increase their performance in environmental innovation. Therefore, we study the interactive effects of the SMEs' business-group affiliation and the listing status on the relationship between environmental innovation and labor productivity. We add these interaction terms to multivariate regressions by using the 2010 Korea Innovation Survey. The results show that SMEs are able to use environmental innovation as a business strategy for green growth with improved labor productivity. Also, the results highlight that the business-group affiliation and the listing status as the complementary assets positively moderate the performance of the environmental innovation of the SMEs.

“…As part of this strategy, the Government of the ROK made a pledge under the 2009 Copenhagen Accord to reduce its national GHG emissions by 30% below its business-as-usual (BAU) scenario by 2020. This goal was equivalent at the time to a 4% reduction of total emissions below 2005 levels (Jang et al 2010; Government of the ROK 2017). This target was set voluntarily as the ROK is a non-Annex I country and therefore was not expected to commit to quantified economy-wide emissions targets.…”

“…This Green Growth aims at establishing a new paradigm that is expected to shift the current conflictive relationship between environmental protection and economic growth to one of cooperation; this will be accomplished by creating a new job market (and accomplishing other related goals) that responds to climate change and the current energy crisis [25]. This policy of Low Carbon and Green Growth hopes to switch the human population from a vicious to a virtuous cycle in terms of energy, the economy, and the world's climates and ecosystems; it aims to develop a new paradigm of balance between economic development and environmental conservation [22][23][24]. To further these goals, the Korean government's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) announced an "Activation Plan for Green Building" in November of 2009.…”

“…Since the 1980s, a number of policies have been adopted to improve building energy conservation in Korea, including the Building Energy Conservation Code (BECC) in the 1980s, the Regulations for Energy Efficiency Labeling and Standards in the 1990s, the Green Building Certification program and the BEECS in the early 2000s. The Korean government announced several major government projects in August of 2008, including their provision of a million green houses, in an effort to further their new vision of Low Carbon and Green Growth [22][23][24]. This Green Growth aims at establishing a new paradigm that is expected to shift the current conflictive relationship between environmental protection and economic growth to one of cooperation; this will be accomplished by creating a new job market (and accomplishing other related goals) that responds to climate change and the current energy crisis [25].…”

Abstract:The Korean government has established a national plan for the promotion of zero energy buildings to respond to climate change and energy crises. To achieve this plan, several energy efficiency policies for new and existing buildings have been developed. The Building Energy Efficiency Certification System (BEECS) aims to promote the spread of high energy-efficient buildings by evaluating and certifying building energy performance. This study discussed Korean building energy efficiency policies and analyzed especially the influence of the BEECS on the actual energy consumption of a residential building and calculated energy performance of non-residential buildings. The BEECS was evaluated to have influence on gas and district heating consumption in residential buildings. For non-residential buildings, a decreasing trend was shown in calculated primary energy consumption in the years since the BEECS has been enacted. Appropriate improvements of the certification system were also discussed by analyzing relationship between building characteristics and their energy consumptions.
