“…For example, Eanhart and Lizal [72], Galdeano-Gómez et al [74] and Yamaguchi and van Kooten [75], although they had similar research goals, employed different environmental and/or economic indicators to measure corporate performance. This was also true for the following studies: Menguc et al [79], Molina-Azorin et al [50], Yu et al [81], López-Gamero et al [82], Horvathova [89], Perez-Calderon et al [91], Fujii et al [63], De Burgos-Jimenez et al [96], Qi et al [100], and Sánchez-Medina et al [106]. Moreover, this unjustified difference of performance variables was also present in studies with specific goals, such as papers with a greenhouse gas focus (see Dragomir [94], Wang et al [101], Misani and Pogutz [103], and Trumpp and Guenther 2015 [71]) or papers that focused on a financial crisis period (see Gallego-Alvarez et al [97], Muhammad et al [104], Muhammad et al [105], and Trumpp and Guenther [71]).…”

Furthermore, with reference of specific industrial sectors analyzed (Table 3, third column), we recognize a non-homogeneity of variables considered to measure EP and BP (Table 3, second and third columns): e.g., López-Gamero et al [77], Molina-Azorín et al [50], and Trumpp and Guenther [71] in services sector; Zeng et al [84], Figge and Hahn [70], Fuji et al [63], and Sánchez-Medina et al [106] in manufacturing sector; Kranjc et al [73], and Galdeano-Gómez [74] in food sector.…”

Exploring the Direction on the Environmental and Business Performance Relationship at the Firm Level. Lessons from a Literature Review

et al. 2016

Abstract:The interest of scientists and companies in understanding the business implications of environmental investment is timely; however, a dilemma remains at the firm level: is the environment a "strategic competitive factor", as in the "Porter point of view", or is it a "luxury good", as in the "Wagner point of view"? Our research contributes to this debate through a review of the papers published in scientific journals between 2000 and 2015 that discussed the direction of the relationship between the environmental and business performances of enterprises. The objectives of the research are: (a) to verify if there is an agreement in the scientific literature of the last 15 years about the "Porter-Wagner dilemma" when focusing at the firm level; (b) to underline the prevalent cause and effect directions of the relationship between environmental and business performance; and (c) to investigate the reasons for any disagreements in this topic among the scientists. The results show that the main agreement regards the positive bi-directional relationship, as a virtuous cyclic approach with mutual effects between business and environmental performance; nevertheless, more complex hypotheses emerge, such as nonlinear and/or conditional relationship, that need to be further explored. On the other hand, the Porter-Wagner dilemma remains, and the main reason for the non-agreement among scientists can be due to the several non-homogeneous variables considered in the analyses. Thereafter, as lesson for scientists, the priority is to share univocal methods to measure firms' environmental and business performances.

“…A maneira como essas empresas respondem aos problemas ambientais é um indicador-chave da sua competitividade. A regulamentação governamental não leva, necessariamente, à ecoinovação ou a um aumento na produtividade para todas as empresas, mas apenas àquelas que inovarem com êxito (Azevedo, Cudney, Grilo, Carvalho, & Cruz-Machado, 2012;Barbieri et al, 2010;Dias, 2014;Porter & Linde, 1995a, 1995bSanchez-Medina et al, 2013).…”

RESUMOA biomassa, considerada uma das principais fontes alternativas de energia, advém dos materiais orgânicos residuais da cultura da mandioca -no Brasil, especificamente no Estado do Paraná. Os biodigestores são capazes de transformar esses resíduos em biogás e biofertilizantes, permitindo uma redução de quase 80% dos materiais orgânicos residuais lançados na terra ou nos rios, evitando o depósito no fundo de rios e o impacto ambiental negativo e, ainda, em economia de energia, percebem-se ganhos substanciais. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é investigar se, na implantação de biodigestores, as práticas de ecoinovação contribuíram para o desempenho econômico e ambiental das empresas processadoras de mandioca do Paraná. Valendo-se de pesquisa qualitativa, o método utilizado é o exploratório e de análise intensiva de múltiplos casos, com os dados coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. O estudo demonstrou que as práticas de ecoinovação adotadas contribuíram para o desempenho econômico e ambiental das empresas. O trabalho oferece para o universo acadêmico: um estudo na área científica no que diz respeito à tecnologia de biodigestores a partir do material orgânico residual da mandioca para o desenvolvimento sustentável; e para o universo corporativo: uma oportunidade de inovação sustentável com melhorias no desempenho econômico e ambiental, o qual pode ser extrapolado para outros segmentos industriais.

Symbolic reactions or substantive pro‐environmental behaviour? An empirical study of corporate environmental performance under the government's environmental subsidy scheme

Do firms substantively improve their corporate environmental performance (CEP), or do they just react symbolically under the government's environmental subsidy (ENS) scheme? There is little empirical research into this business ethical problem in the literature. To understand how firms respond to the government's ENS scheme, in this study, we empirically examine the relationship between ENS and CEP. Specifically, we
