“…However, the Theory of Planned Behaviors (TPB) is often used to explain the relationship between awareness and behaviors, and widespread scientific research has been dedicated to using it to interpret the relationship regarding environmental concerns (Marshall et al, 2010;Paco and Lavrador, 2017;Taufiquea et al, 2016;Zhu et al, 2013). The three most common explanatory variables in the TPB are attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control (Schifter and Ajzen, 1985).…”

China has promoted green campuses for decades. To better explore the current extent of pro-environmental awareness and behaviors of types of stakeholders (student, faculty members, and administrators) on campus, this study investigated the relationship between pro-environmental awareness and pro-environmental behaviors along with the influences of motivators, barriers, and culture (face (reputation) and group pressure). A questionnaire survey was conducted with a sample of the three types of stakeholders at Tianjin University, one of the largest academic institutions and the earliest to implement green campus development initiatives in China. Structural equation modeling tested a causal model of awareness, behaviors, and other explanatory variables. The results found that pro-environmental behaviors were more likely than awareness and the respondents engaged in private more than in public proenvironmental behaviors. Chinese social and cultural factors influenced proenvironmental behavior, particularly among the administrators, which informs our understanding of the reasons for the awareness-behavior gap. China's universities focus on eco-technology and energy management rather than on dissemination and publicity. The results suggest that advancing a pro-environmental cultural atmosphere and a consistent sustainability policy might significantly foster pro-environmental behaviors on university campuses.

“…These studies have focused on the factors leading to the adoption of an environmental management system (EMS) (e.g., [53,54]) or have examined subjects relating to consumer perceptions, brand image, or eco-labelling or eco-branding product differentiation strategies (e.g., [55,56]). Authors such as Atkin et al [23] go even further and attempt to confirm links between the adoption of an EMS and entrepreneurship in wineries, but are unable to link this adoption with any cost reduction.…”

Environmental sustainability in the winery sector is receiving increased attention from governments, environmental groups, and consumers. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the degree of proactivity of a firm's environmental strategies and its business performance. The novelty of this research work lies in its definition of business performance, which includes business environmental performance in terms of reducing the firm's environmental impacts and eco-efficiency in the use of resources such as water, energy, and raw materials, in addition to its economic performance. A model is proposed and tested using a sample of 312 Spanish wineries. Data were analysed using partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM). The fitness and robustness of the structural model proved adequate. The results indicate positive correlation of environmental proactivity with economic and environmental performance. Although environmental proactivity improves business performance, it has a greater impact on reducing environmental impacts and improving eco-efficiency.

“…The California-based study also reported an increase in labour costs of 30% due to planning, preparation and maintenance. Conversely, Marshall et al (2010) reported that the adoption of environmental practices in the US wine industry would result in economic benefits through reduced consumption of raw materials, increased productivity, decreased energy consumption and waste reductions.…”

“…The identified drivers for adoption include the attitudes and norms of the manager (Marshall et al 2010), increased profits (Hughey et al 2004), improved environmental performance (Delmas et al 2006) and marketing reasons (Adrian & Dupre 1994;Marshall et al 2005;Bhaskaran et al 2006). This literature review suggests that farmers will be less likely to adopt environmental innovations if they will not bring economic benefits.…”
