“…Numerous authors, such as [8,37,38], among others, have distinguished between several typologies of green innovation: products, processes, technological and managerial. However, our study focuses on green product innovation and green process innovation.…”

Nowadays, companies need to absorb new knowledge from external sources to grasp environmental issues. However, the internal mechanisms through which external knowledge is turned into green innovations remain scarcely addressed. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the relationships between the two dimensions of absorptive capacity (potential and realized) with green products and process innovation performance. This study contributes to the literature by disentangling how companies need to acquire, assimilate, transform and exploit external environmental knowledge to develop green innovations. To this aim, this empirical study is based on a sample shaped by 112 firms belonging to the Spanish automotive components manufacturing sector. The results provide evidence to show that potential and realized absorptive capacities are positively related to both green product innovation performance and green process innovation performance.

“…In the last decade, external factors such as regulation, barriers and drivers for eco-innovation in firms have been analysed [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21], within the theoretical framework of institutional theory [22,23] or stakeholder theory [24][25][26].…”

Interest from academics, policy–makers and practitioners in eco-innovation has increased as it enables the optimization of the use of natural resources improving competitiveness and it provides a conceptual framework for corporate sustainability. In this context, this paper provides an in-depth analysis and a wide classification of the specific indicators for the integrated measurement of eco-innovation projects in business from a resource-based view (RBV). The specific metrics were tested to measure the economic-financial and environmental resources and capabilities applied by five Spanish firms to eco-innovation projects, selected as case studies.

“…On the other hand, end-ofpipe technologies do not lead to efficiency in the production process; they involve only sunk costs (del Río 2009). According to Tseng et al (2012), technological eco-innovations are the key player in giving information to comprehensive material-saving plans and management of documentation and information. With regard to Tseng et al (2012) investment in green equipment and installation of advanced green production technology plays a strategic role as a motive/stimulus and as a support for innovation effort.…”

With regard to Tseng et al (2012) investment in green equipment and installation of advanced green production technology plays a strategic role as a motive/stimulus and as a support for innovation effort. By reducing the consumption of energy and other resources and consequently contributing to the decrease of waste and emissions, environmental technologies lead to cost reduction and improved competitiveness (Klassen and Whybark 1999 in Murovec et al 2012).…”
