“…It should be noted that WT can catalyse not only GP, but also the organization's set of green human, structural and relational intangibles, i.e. its green intellectual capital (GIC), which, in turn, will have a positive impact on the GP of wineries (Marco-Lajara et al, 2022a). Moreover, the WT-GP link can be enhanced by the circular economy practices (CEPs) developed by the wineries, since they favour the optimization of resources, the reduction in the consumption of raw materials and the use of waste, recycling or giving them a new life to turn them into new products (Sun and Drakeman, 2022).…”

PurposeThe research focuses on analysing the effect of wine tourism (WT) on the green performance (GP) of Spanish wineries, as well as the mediating role of green intellectual capital (GIC) and the moderating effect of circular economy practices (CEPs) developed by wineries in this main relationship. In addition, age, size and protected designation of origin (PDO) membership are introduced as control variables to increase the precision of the cause–effect relationships analysed.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual model is proposed through the literature review carried out and then verified through structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) based on data obtained from a survey of 202 Spanish wineries between September 2021 and January 2022.FindingsThe results of the study show that WT activity has a positive and significant effect on the GP of wineries, also demonstrating the mediating effect of GIC and the moderating role of CEPs in this relationship.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the academic literature in several ways. First, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has addressed the impact of WT on the set of wineries' ecological intangibles. Second, to the authors’ knowledge, no previous study has analysed the mediating effect of GIC on the WT-GP relationship. Third, there is no previous attempt to deal with the moderating role of CEPs in the main relationship under analysis. Fourth, the proposed theoretical model has not been previously addressed in the academic literature.

“…GIC refers to the set of intangible resources or knowledge associated with environmental protection (Chang and Chen, 2012). Recently, Marco-Lajara et al (2022a) analyzed the GIC in the Spanish wine context, defining it as the set of environmental intangibles that wineries possess, which differentiates them from other competitors, thus allowing them to obtain a competitive advantage. In addition, they investigated the relationship between this set of green intangibles of wineries and the compliance of Spanish wineries with the sustainable development goals (Marco-Lajara et al, 2022b).…”

“…Similarly, GRC facilitates KM by allowing the integration of environmental knowledge, its transfer within the firm and its application (Yu et al, 2021). In the wine context, Marco-Lajara et al (2022a) recently demonstrated how the GIC favored the acquisition, transfer and application of knowledge in Spanish wineries. Likewise, Marco-Lajara et al (2022b) point out that GIC favors the flow of knowledge in the organization which, in turn, leads to obtaining a competitive advantage.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to focus on analyzing how the set of green intangibles held by wineries and their members, i.e. green intellectual capital (GIC), affects green innovation performance (GIP). Specifically, the study aims to investigate how GIP is influenced by GIC through the mediating role of the variable knowledge management (KM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR).Design/methodology/approachThe study proposes a conceptual model, based on previous studies, which is tested through structural equations (PLS-SEM) with data collected from 202 Spanish wineries.FindingsThe results of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between GIC and GIP. Furthermore, CSR and KM partially mediate the relationship between these two variables, playing a key role in the environmental management of wineries.Originality/valueThe present research, therefore, contributes to the literature in several ways. First, the study advances the understanding of GIC as well as its link with GIP. Second, the research aims to fill the gap in the literature through the study of CSR and KM as mediating variables in such a link. Third, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the model proposed has not been previously addressed in the academic literature, thus representing an advance in scientific knowledge. Fourthly, no research has addressed the study of environmental intangibles in the wine industry, with this research, therefore, being a pioneer in contextualizing the study of GIC in this increasingly knowledge-intensive industry.

“…In addition, trust between companies and their stakeholders plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of green knowledge, which is subsequently translated into improved GP [67]. Likewise, it should be noted that although organizations may have environmental objectives among their priorities [68], they need to crystallize their environmental management through their corporate objectives, culture, strategies, and organizational structure [69]. e GSC is thus understood as an internal resource that can improve the achievement of environmental objectives [70,71], by representing a set of green intangibles owned by the organization that allows it to improve its GP.…”

Global environmental problems, such as global warming, pollution, or deforestation, are critical issues that require a rapid and common response. In this context, companies play a decisive role in achieving environmental objectives through the ecological knowledge they can store and manage. In this context, the present research focuses its interest on analyzing how the set of green intangibles possessed by organizations, i.e., Green Intellectual Capital (GIC), affects their Green Performance (GP). Specifically, the study shows how GP is influenced by GIC through the mediating role of the Green Innovation (GI) variable. Therefore, the research questions to be answered by this study are as follows: Does GIC influence environmental performance? Does GI mediate the GIC-GP relationship? What actions can companies take to improve their GP? There are several reasons that have led us to carry out this research. First, there is little empirical evidence of the relationships proposed in this study. Second, to the best of our knowledge, there is no previous research that has contextualized the relationships raised in the wine industry, thus representing an advance in the comprehension of the constructs studied. Third, GIC represents an incipient field of study that needs to be developed and established within the literature linked to Intellectual Capital (IC). In order to achieve the proposed objectives, data from a survey of 202 wineries in Spain were used and a quantitative approach was followed using Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the research indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between GIC and GP. In addition, GI partially mediates the relationship between these two variables, playing a key role in the environmental management of wineries. The theoretical and practical contributions of the study improve the understanding of the relationships raised, being a pioneering study due to its contextualization in the wine industry, as well as providing a series of guidelines for both environmental managers and winemakers to improve their GP.
