“…± a configuration of participants which promotes the political integration and networking of many stakeholders and institutions involved, leads to close ties between regulators and those regulated, involves major stakeholders in the dialogue, and interlinks those targeted by the policy. [136] The international debate on sustainability in the chemical sector which started after the 1992 Rio summit has had two major consequences: Firstly, it generated a number of institutional provisions by which the risks involved in the handling of toxic chemicals were reduced and secondly this debate pushed the search for a political pattern by which a sustainable development in the chemical sector can be achieved through the interaction between central (supra)national and nonstate participants. Political networks have emerged during the process which seek to reach a consensus on the objectives to…”

The principles of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in June 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, and Agenda 21, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century, adopted 10 years ago by more than 170 governments, address the pressing problems of today and also aim at preparing the world for the challenges of this century. The conservation and management of resources for development are the main focus of interest, to which the sciences will have to make a considerable contribution. Natural, economic, and social sciences will have to be integrated in order to achieve this aim. In their future programs, the associations of the chemical industries in Europe, Japan, and the USA have explicitly accepted their obligation to foster a sustainable development.In this review we investigate innovations in chemistry exemplarily for such a development with regard to their ecological, economical, and social dimensions from an integrated and interdisciplinary perspective. Since base chemicals are produced in large quantities and important product lines are synthesized from them, their resource‐saving production is especially important for a sustainable development. This concept has been shown, amongst others, by the example of the syntheses of propylene oxide and adipic acid. In the long run, renewable resources that are catalytically processed could replace fossil raw materials. Separation methods existing today must be improved considerably to lower material and energy consumption. Chemistry might become the pioneer of an innovative energy technique.The design of chemical products should make possible a sustainable processing and recycling and should prevent their bio‐accumulation. Methods and criteria to assess their contribution to a sustainable development are necessary. The time taken to introduce the new more sustainable processes and products has to be diminished by linking their development with operational innovation management and with efficient environmental‐political control procedures.

In der Erklärung der Konferenz für Umwelt und Entwicklung der Vereinten Nationen in Rio de Janeiro 1992 und in der Agenda 21, dem vor nun zehn Jahren von mehr als 170 Staaten verabschiedeten Arbeitsprogramm für das 21. Jahrhundert, werden die dringlichsten Fragen von heute angesprochen, während gleichzeitig versucht wird, die Welt auf die Herausforderungen dieses Jahrhunderts vorzubereiten. Im Zentrum stehen die Erhaltung und Bewirtschaftung der Ressourcen für die Entwicklung. Einen wesentlichen Beitrag dazu müssen die Wissenschaften leisten, wobei es der Zusammenführung natur‐, wirtschafts‐ und sozialwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse bedarf. Die Verbände der chemischen Industrien Europas, Japans und der USA haben sich in ihren Zukunftsprogrammen explizit zu ihrer Verpflichtung zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung bekannt. Wir untersuchen in diesem Aufsatz beispielhaft Innovationen der Chemie für eine solche Entwicklung in ihrer ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Dimension unter einer integrierten und interdisziplinären Perspektive. Die ressourcenschonende Produktion von Basischemikalien ist aufgrund der großen produzierten Mengen und der darauf aufbauenden Produktlinien für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung von besonderer Bedeutung. Dies wird unter anderem am Beispiel von Propylenoxid und Adipinsäure gezeigt. Langfristig könnten die nachwachsenden Rohstoffe, die katalytisch weiterverarbeitet werden, fossile Rohstoffe ersetzen. Die heute existierenden Trennmethoden müssen wesentlich verbessert werden, damit der Material‐ und Energieverbrauch gesenkt wird. Die Chemie könnte Wegbereiter einer innovativen Energietechnik werden. Die chemischen Produkte müssen so gestaltet werden, dass sie nachhaltig weiterverarbeitet, recycelt und nicht bioakkumuliert werden können. Methoden und Kriterien zur Bewertung ihres Beitrags zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung sind notwendig. Die Zeit zur Einführung der neuen Prozesse und Produkte muss durch die enge Verbindung ihrer Entwicklung mit dem betrieblichen Innovationsmanagement und effizienten umweltpolitischen Steuerungsverfahren verringert werden.

What Triggers Environmental Management and Innovation? Empirical Evidence for Germany

2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bibliografische Information Der Deutschen Bibliothek AbstractIt is frequently hypothesized that environmental management systems (EMSs) may improve a firm's environmental performance. Whether or not this hypothesis is true is as important from the perspective of environmental policy as questions relating to the relevant incentives for (1) a firm's voluntary adoption of an EMS and (2) its environmental innovation behavior. Based on ample empirical evidence for German manufacturing, this paper addresses these issues on the basis of a recursive bivariate probit model that explicitly takes into account that a facility's decision on innovation activities is correlated with the decision on EMS certification. Our empirical results indicate that environmental innovation activities are not associated with EMS certification nor any other single policy instrument. Rather, innovation behavior seems to be correlated to the stringency of environmental policy.JEL Classification: O33, O38, Q28
