The drivers for adoption of eco-innovation

Résumé

Considering the highlighted importance on understanding why and how companies integrate environmental sustainability into innovation process, it is important to question: How has 'ecoinnovation' been researched in business literature related to the drivers that boost the adoption by the companies? What are the drivers and motivations for the adoption of eco-innovation by companies? How could results from the literature help to define a conceptual framework of ecoinnovation drivers and motivations? To address these questions, a systematic review was conducted. After defining inclusion and exclusion search criteria, the search of peer reviewed papers from the ISI Web of Knowledge database was systematically applied. The final database remained with 96 full papers, of which 35 matched the specific target of analysis that focused at: i) Eco-innovation's concepts and approaches; ii) Methods and main findings; and iii) Drivers and motivations for adoption of eco-innovation. Results indicated that there is a growing interest in this concept, not only from a managerial but also from an academic perspective (64% of papers were published after 2010). Different methods are used in the selected papers and evidences show that leading firms are protagonists in developing new technologies. Although undertaking punctual actions was enough to recognise eco-innovation in some cases, companies need to improve the focus in eco-innovation as an explicit goal of their strategies to boost performance. This paper contributes pointing out internal factors that companies can manage in order to fully adopt eco-innovation, going beyond mere compliance of external factors, over which companies have little or no control. Based on the systematic review, this article draws propositions and proposes a conceptual model for further empirical research on eco-innovation.
