“…In reality, in most cases, the involvement in environmental protection is constrained through legal regulations [53,54]. Regulations targeting results (not processes) make companies redesign technologies in order to increase the efficiency of the activity by reducing costs and increasing product quality and develop less polluting goods [55][56][57].…”

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are present in almost all fields of human activity. The expansion of their use should be balanced by the results of the studies on the negative effects on the environment. The relationship between these technologies and the environment is relatively new. The application of environmental criteria is commonly referred to as green ICT or green computing. Awareness of the importance of the ecosystem has led to increased interest in its protection both in production and in consumption. Green ICT should be a major concern not only for the hardware and software producers but also for the users. They could stimulate the demand for less harmful products for the environment with an essential role in the after-sales stages. Companies can contribute to this process by resource efficiency, dematerialization, and minimizing e-waste, increasing recycling, and producing fewer CO 2 emissions. The decision to adopt green ICT depends on the expected benefits and investments. This decision depends on costs, competitiveness, financial support, managers and employees' characteristics and skills, legal regulations, supply, and demand. The contributions of the paper cover identifying, analysing and classifying general and specific determinants of green ICT adoption in organizations based on the literature in this field.

“…However, strict environmental regulations and environmentalists have changed the competitive rules and patterns for companies. The increasing costs of traditional modes of compliance and advances in material and process technologies have driven some automotive supply chain companies to adopt green innovative approaches to overcome environmental challenges [37].…”

Types of Green Innovations: Ways of Implementation in a Non-Green Industry

2017

Attention to environmental sustainability represents an essential issue for the companies that, in order to integrate environment into their strategies, are producing specific innovations that have also positive environmental outcomes. Implementing green innovations represents a great challenge for non-green companies because it often requires the acquisition of new resources and competences that differ significantly from their existing competences. This paper attempts to propose a theoretical framework that classifies green innovations according their impact on company's competences and analyses how green innovations can be implemented. Given the complexity of the issue and the variability of situations, we use a multiple case study analysis of several green innovations developed in a non-green industry, namely the automotive sector. Indeed, this is one that produces the highest environmental impact and, in recent years, it has been subjected to increasing regulatory restrictions. Companies operating in a non-green industry that implement disruptive, radical and architectural green innovations can initiate market and technological partnerships to mitigate against such internal weaknesses, such as the lack of technological capabilities and market knowledge. The collaboration helps firms to access new competences and capabilities useful to change or develop new technology capabilities and market knowledge more easily and with lower costs.

“…Green innovation is aimed at boosting the environmental management performance to fulfil the environmental regulation requirement [180]. To reach a successful internal environmental management, both support and commitment from the top management is crucial [183,184]. Eltayeb, Zailani [185], further explained that support from the top management will allow for resources needed to implement new technology in addition to acquiring new knowledge more easily.…”

“…In addition, relationship learning capabilities can mediate the relationship between capabilities and green innovation performance. Zailani, Govindan [183] examine the green innovation adoption determinants its influence on firm performance in 153 Malaysian firms in the automotive supply chain industry. Environmental regulations, marketing demand, firms' internal initiatives, green product innovation, green process innovation, economic performance, environmental performance and social performance were variables of this study, results of this study found that, market demand, environmental regulations and firm internal initiatives had the positive relationship with green innovation initiatives, and GIIs had a positive relationship with sustainable performance.…”

Application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to Solve Environmental Sustainability Problems: A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis

Most methodological areas assume common serious reflections to certify difficult study and publication practices, and, therefore, approval in their area. Interestingly, relatively little attention has been paid to reviewing the application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in environmental sustainability problems despite the growing number of publications in the past two decades. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to fill this gap by conducting a wide search in two main databases including Web of Science and Scopus to identify the studies which used SEM techniques in the period from 2005 to 2016. A critical analysis of these articles addresses some important key issues. On the basis of our results, we present comprehensive guidelines to help researchers avoid general pitfalls in using SEM. The results of this review are important and will help researchers to better develop research models based on SEM in the area of environmental sustainability.
