“…Measurements considered criteria of perception, opinion, and qualification through Likert‐type scales. Some studies reported environmental regulation evaluations using international scales to compare the effectiveness between countries that partake in organizations such as the OECD (Hwang & Kim, 2017; Jiménez, Martínez, & Godos, 2018; Naughton, 2014) or the European Union (Cló, Ferrais, & Florio, 2017; Galeotti, Rubashkina, Salini, & Verdolini, 2018; Galinato & Chouinard, 2018). Evaluations are useful for responding to global problems such as global warming; they can work as a source of information when adjusting international treaties and agreements with environmental impact.…”

Business‐oriented environmental regulation: Measurement and implications for environmental policy and business strategy from a sustainable development perspective

Business‐oriented environmental regulation is expected to have a fundamental role in mitigating the adverse effects of human activity on the natural environment. However, its effectiveness and efficiency are not well established. A systematic literature review reveals validity and reliability problems in the measurement of business‐oriented environmental regulation. From a sustainable development perspective, we develop a theoretical framework that aims to enhance the measurement and assessment of this kind of regulation. Our theoretical framework proposes that the goals of business‐oriented environmental regulation must articulate a measurement system in a 3 × 3 matrix: three measurement levels (stringency, response, and outcome—in this cause–effect order) and three sustainability dimensions (environmental, social, and economic—in this constraint order). For each cell, we propose a combination of objective and subjective indicators. This theoretical framework expands existing approaches to business‐oriented environmental regulation measurement by integrating a sustainable development perspective into a measurement framework in a structured theory‐driven manner. Not only will this measurement system be useful for improving environmental policy, but it will also allow companies to improve their business strategy and come closer to complying with environmental regulations in order to effectively contribute to solutions for current environmental problems and help achieve a sustainable development.

“…Previous studies have shown that CSR has a positive impact on reducing pollution, and this influence is reinforced when environmental regulation is developed [50]. Therefore, many governments have attempted to create more sensitive environments with regard to social and environmental problems, and they have sent signals to corporations that they should strengthen their commitment to environmental issues [51].…”

Based on the stakeholder theory, this paper takes the 2016 data of China's A-share listed enterprises as a sample. It then uses SPSS 22 to conduct statistical analyses on the sample data to study the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and technological innovation investment, particularly the role of the atmospheric environment in regulating the relationship between the two. This paper shows that there is a significant positive correlation between CSR and an enterprise's technological innovation investment. Further research has found that in the case of a poor atmospheric environment, the government's environmental regulations have increased the operating costs of enterprises and weakened the intensity of technological innovation investment. However, when there is public pressure, CSR will improve. Consequently, the correlation between CSR and technological innovation investment is weak. In the case of a good atmospheric environment, enterprises do not need to increase their operating costs. To establish a good image and increase profitability, enterprises lean towards fulfilling their social responsibilities and enhancing their investment in technological innovation. This will also boost the positive correlation between CSR and technological innovation investment.

“…According to Demirel and Kesidou (2011), voluntarily implemented behaviors have positive influences on firms' environmental practices though. Because CSR is voluntary (Antonioli & Mazzanti, 2009), it might drive the adoption of innovations that pursue environmental goals (Jiménez-Parra, Alonso-Martínez, & Godos-Díez, 2018;Surroca, Tribo, & Waddock, 2010). In turn, sustainable innovations include environmental practices, so we predict that CSR may drive the adoption of sustainable innovation too.…”

This contribution explores how corporate social responsibility (CSR) might influence the adoption of sustainable innovation. Previous research reveals that CSR effects depend on the specific CSR practices considered; this study accordingly investigates different measures of CSR practices with a strategic perspective: strategic versus responsive CSR. The empirical analysis is based on a survey carried out in Luxembourg in 2008, pertaining to CSR practices in firms, combined with the Community Innovation Survey of 2012. The results gathered from a sample of 286 firms, obtained with a Heckman procedure, highlight the importance of differentiating CSR strategies.Specifically, the results show that CSR activities in general do not lead to sustainable innovation adoption, but strategic CSR can have an effect on its adoption.
