ECO-INNOVATION ATTITUDE AND INDUSTRY’S TECHNOLOGICAL LEVEL - AN IMPORTANT KEY FOR PROMOTING EFFICIENT VERTICAL POLICIES Autori: Ángel Peiró-Signes, Luis Miret-Pastor, María-del-Val Segarra-Oña, Rohit VermaData aparitiei: December/2011 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 10 › Nr. 12 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 Format PDF This paper links two theoretical constructs underpinned by sustainable values, management of sustainable development and ecoinnovation. The first one becomes a crucial process and adds competitive value and, the second, plays a pivotal role in the search for a sustainable economy and society. This research is an attempt to explore the Spanish companies´ attitude towards sustainability when innovating. Industries were categorized as to their actual technological performance status as low, mediumlow, medium-high and high tech, using a predefined framework. Then multivariate analysis techniques were applied to identify which variables influence the environmental attitude in each segment. A correlation between the industry tech level and its environmental orientation was found to be most relevant.
