“…For example, Díaz‐García, González‐Moreno, and Sáez‐Martínez () identified the need to adopt a longitudinal approach by identifying drivers that influence the further growth and development of eco‐innovative firms. For the automobile industry, process and product innovation and closeness to market information sources were identified as variables influencing companies' eco‐innovation orientation (Peiró‐Signes, Payá‐Martínez, & de Miguel‐Molina, ; Segarra‐Oña, Peiró‐Signes, & Payá‐Martínez, ).…”

The environment is increasingly gaining importance for citizens and society and, therefore, for consumers. Eco‐innovation is a direct path for reducing the impact of production while providing companies with a source of competitive advantage. The automotive industry and its supply chain have a great impact on the environment, but no research has been developed on how the orientation toward the environment is evolving for the automotive industry and how future performance may be affected by current decisions. The aim of this paper is to bridge this gap by analyzing the eco‐innovative dynamism of the automobile industry. To do this, we use a panel analysis to see the point at which past behavior influences future decisions. The partial least square method is used to analyze the eco‐innovative dynamism of the automobile industry. We analyze a data set based on 159 responses of Spanish companies that belong to the automobile sector. Results show that environmental orientation drivers do not evolve over a short period while in the longer term there is an evolution. We prove that carryover effects have a great impact on the future behavior of the firms, showing that the evolution of organizations' environmental behavior is a long‐range consideration. Managerial implications arise from this paper's conclusions, as the decision‐making process is clarified.

“…Some authors come to the conclusion that environmental considerations are influenced by company characteristics: bigger companies with international presence should be more likely environmentally oriented when innovating and tend to be more eco-design oriented. In case of energy reduction no significant differences were found (Peiró-Signes et al, 2014).…”

Bearing in mind the instant innovations in renewables and the pressures to adopt ecological behaviors, companies are pushed to make changes in the energy field as well. Especially companies in the automotive sector have begun to implement sustainable production practices. The Czech Republic is not an exception, suggesting that sustainable actions have begun to be more significant at the local level as well. This article addresses the state of the art of using sustainable energy actions, concentrating on the renewable energy in the automotive supplier network within a selected region in the Czech Republic. Analyzing a broad context of renewable energy utilization at the regional level, the researched company sample shows that it is not yet a common practice. The results confirm that renewable energy sourcing needs to find its economic viability or justification in environmental legislation. Only then it can further spread along the automotive supply chain.
