“…Another capability-related construct, NETWORKING, is significant in the PRODSERV models and implies that latent relationships with supply chain partners support the development of new innovation. This insight is in line with the thinking of Kemp, et al, (2000), which posits that networks of firms coordinate to respond to the regulatory challenges in particular industries. The finding that this is most likely associated with firms operating at lower levels of the supply chain (e.g.…”

“…This is because over-compliance helps to shape the nature of future regulation (and therefore the competitive landscape) and shores up 'social license' to operate by anticipating the needs of social stakeholders thereby ensuring long-term viability of the enterprise (Berkhout, 2014;Gunningham et al, 2004;Wu, 2009). We include collaborative aspects because we recognise that the networks of firms operating in particular industries manage the impact of regulation and create innovation (Gann and Salter, 2000;Kemp et al, 2000).…”

“…We posit the relationship with capabilities reflects the propensity of firms to go beyond compliance as a competitive strategy and to maintain social licence to operate (Berkhout, 2014;Innes and Bial, 2002;Sarker, 2013;Wu 2009). We postulate the importance of collaboration indicates network effects relating to the entire supply chain organising in response to regulation and produce innovation (Gann and Salter, 2000;Kemp et. al., 2000).…”

The impact of environmental regulation on innovation is of central interest to many industries and policy makers alike. While traditional research adopts a top-down view of regulation and attempts to measure the innovation response, the more bottom-up view of contemporary theory argues that firms produce innovations that exceed compliance levels as a competitive strategy. We approach this dichotomy by investigating innovation introduced by Australian oil and gas firms in light of environmental regulatory compliance burden and firm-level characteristics, including competitive capabilities. Analyses of survey responses, executivelevel interviews and conference proceedings reveal both regulatory (top-down) and competitive advantage (bottom-up) perspectives explain innovation in this industry.Regression analyses reveal that product/service and novel innovations (all types) are related to a high compliance burden, competitive skills, research and development activity, and engagement in formal collaborations. Interview and conference data add nuance to our findings revealing collaborative compliance frameworks result in similar innovation outcomes.

“…Corroborando com a literatura estudada, que apresenta o processo de inovação como um fenômeno complexo e interrelacionado com pessoas e instituições (Kemp, Smith, & Becher, 2000). Destaca-se que com relação a esta dimensão, embora tenha sido possível verificar o envolvimento da Empresa B com os seus diversos stakeholders e usuários, essa preocupação não ocorre na fase de desenvolvimento do produto ou processo e sim posteriormente, isto é, após o desenvolvimento da tecnologia e/ou lançamento do produto.…”

RESUMOO objetivo do presente estudo consiste em identificar como as empresas do setor químico brasileiro gerenciam as práticas de inovação orientadas para a sustentabilidade. Mais especificamente foi explorado um segmento da indústria química caracterizado pela produção de sabões, detergentes, produtos de limpeza, cosméticos, perfumaria e higiene pessoal. Para tanto, foram analisadas três indústrias que possuem reconhecidas práticas de inovação e sustentabilidade. Os dados do estudo, qualitativo e descritivo, foram obtidos a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com diretores de P&D e complementados por dados secundários publicados em relatórios de sustentabilidade e websites das companhias. As análises dos dados obtidos evidenciaram que as empresas possuem investimentos em eco-eficiência nos produtos e processos, desenvolvem parcerias com universidade para geração de tecnologia, acompanham as demandas de mercado e apresentam o conceito de sustentabilidade integrado na cadeia de valor empresarial. Ressalta-se, entretanto, uma característica pouco explorada pelas empresas consiste na inclusão da gestão sustentável na ampliação do sistema de produto-serviço. Palavras-Chave: Sustentabilidade; Gestão da inovação e Indústria química. SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION: BUSINESS STRATEGY IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY ABSTRACTThe study identifies how companies in the Brazilian chemical industry manage the practices of innovation-oriented sustainability. More specifically it focuses on one segment of the chemical industry characterized by the production of soaps, detergents, cleaning products, cosmetics, perfumes and toiletries. The study analyzed three industries which have recognized practices of innovation and sustainability. The data of the study, both qualitative and descriptive, were obtained from semi-structured interviews with the directors of R&D and supplemented by data published in sustainability reports and companies' websites. The analyses shows the companies have investments in eco-efficiency of products and processes, develops partnerships with universities for technology improvement, track market demands and present the concept of sustainability integrated to the business value chain. The inclusion of management practices based on the expansion of the product-service system was a characteristic less explored by companies.

Green product innovation is critical to a firm's sustainability. Some studies have explored how to enhance a firm's green production innovation. In this research, we construct and test a research model for exploring the influence of environmental innovation practices (EIP) on green innovation performance, and we investigate the mechanisms underlying this relationship. Based on organizational creativity theory, we propose and test the hypothesis that EIP can affect creativity climate and green creativity, which in turn enhance green product innovation performance. Using survey data from 147 companies in China, we find that EIP directly and positively affect green creativity and indirectly influence green product innovation performance via green creativity. Thus, green creativity partially mediates the link between EIP and green product innovation performance. Our finding also indicates that creativity climate positively affect green creativity. Green product innovation performance is positively affected by creativity climate but not directly affected by EIP. The results further demonstrate that creativity climate fully mediates the link between EIP and green product innovation performance. Our findings suggest that firm' managers should shape the organizational creativity climate and encourage green creativity to enhance their firm's sustainability. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and practical implications, which can promote the firm's sustainability through environmental policy.
