“…We have moved into a world where the environment, with its natural resources, is becoming endangered due to the growth of emissions (Wenzel & Alting, 2004). This has led international organizations and political efforts to meet problems like climate change, in addition to finding solutions and encouraging people to change (Molcho & Shpitalni, 2006). The United Nations (UN), for example, is working toward a goal to limit the average global temperature to no more than two degrees Celsius (United Nations, 2016).…”

“…For example, researchers report that integrating sustainable strategies into overall business can bring several benefits: triggered innovations that are efficient in the use of resources, development of new environmental markets, improved corporate image, product differentiation, enhanced competitive advantage, and economic growth (Porter & Van der Linde, 1995;Shrivastava, 1995). However, meeting climate objectives requires technological and organizational changes in business activity (Molcho & Shpitalni, 2006). This growing interest in sustainability calls for more research to better understand how sustainability is developed in companies (Binz, Harris-Lovett, Kiparsky, Sedlak, & Truffer, 2016;Kishna, Niesten, Negro, & Hekkert, 2017).…”

Context: reflecting the call being made by the United Nations to solve our current climate challenges and reduce companies’ CO2 emissions, there is a strong need for large corporations to not only employ the terminology of sustainable transitions, but to implement strategies and select new alternative sustainable solutions. Objective: this study fills a gap in the literature by developing and validating a model that helps researchers understand the factors that enable a large corporation undergoing a sustainable transition to select its new sustainable practices. The developed model used theories of sustainability transition and institutional theory with three pillars (regulative, normative, and cognitive) in order to help understand the nature of the company’s innovation selection criteria. Method: survey-based research was carried out among an oil and gas company’s employees, and structural equation modeling was used to test the model fit, validate the survey, and test the hypotheses. Results: the results showed that normative and regulative pillars play the main role in selecting renewable energy activities as a first step toward the company’s sustainable future. Conclusion: the findings provide researchers with a valuable model for understanding the main criteria for selecting new sustainable projects in established companies.
