“…It is also worth noting that organizational innovation is the least complex form of eco-innovation, as it requires fewer resources (human and financial) and knowledge. Our finding that process eco-innovation positively affects firm efficiency at more innovative companies is in line with the findings of [Triguero et al, 2013]. Furthermore, we found empirical evidence that organizational eco-innovation positively affects firm efficiency at both more and less innovative companies, which corresponds to the findings of [Chiou et al, 2011].…”

“…This means that cost savings are most closely associated with the most advanced ecoinnovations, which encompass the elimination/reduction or reuse of material waste, while less advanced eco-innovations have a lower potential for creating cost savings and contributing to firm efficiency [Kesidou, Demirel, 2012]. Although empirical results are mixed, the majority of research points out the significance of cost savings for process eco-innovations [Triguero et al, 2013]. In addition, environmental technologies have the potential to decrease operating costs by exploiting ecological efficiencies [Shrivastava, 1995].…”

Abstract-Environmental technological innovation has becoming an important step towards sustainable development for emerging country like Malaysia, and market demand is an important determinant of environmental technological innovation. However, stakeholders have neglected demandbased perspective, while designing policies centered on technological (supply) side view. Extant research also constructs a direct mechanism for the market demand-ecoinnovation link. The research reported here, however, provides and investigates an indirect market demand-environmental technological innovation argument where market orientation is a mediator. The current study is motivated to produce this conceptual model for the benefit of policy makers and industry alike.

The European Union (EU) farm‐to‐fork strategy aims to empower consumers to make sustainable food choices, among others, through harmonizing voluntary green claims and labels and potentially introducing a common sustainable claims and labels framework for food products. The literature on the current use of sustainability claims and labels (SCLs) in the EU market is scarce. This paper analyzes the trend developments of SCLs in product launches by food companies across different product groups and countries. The analyses are based on Mintel Global New Product Database on newly introduced products with SCLs, covering 24 food product categories and 19 European countries over the 2005–2021 period. The results show that, on aggregate, across all covered countries and products, the share of product launches with SCLs increased by 2.83% annually from 2005 to 2021. This trend varies greatly among countries, product categories and SCL types. Further, the results show that products covering environmental only SCLs make the highest contribution to the overall sustainability trend (68.2%), followed by products with a combination of both environmental and social SCLs (27.5%), whereas only social SCLs have a minor representation (4.2%).
