Cleaner production and environmental management as sustainable product innovation antecedents: A survey in Brazilian industries

Impact of Cleaner Production and Environmental Management on Sustainable Product Innovation and Performance: A study of Manufacturing Industry of Iran

“…According to Severo et al (2017) and Przychodzen (2015), generally eco-innovations were considered with more return on the equity and assets. Moreover, organizations which present ecoinnovations also were remarkably showing more performant levels and encountered with less financial risk and have more available cash flow compared to the conventional organizations.…”

“…Such tools could remarkably help to Sustainable Product Innovation (SPI) because of rational utilization of natural resources and also reduction of generated waste. Also, sustainable product innovation comes as an opportunity in order to launch new products on market which can meet the imposed pressures by global society as well as legislation (Severo et al, 2017). Severo et al (2017) believe that cleaner production and environmental management can affect SPI and thereby financial performance.…”

Severo et al (2017) believe that cleaner production and environmental management can affect SPI and thereby financial performance. However, nonfinancial performance also can be affected by these factors when non-financial consists of customer satisfaction, learning and growth, and internal process (as it is presented in the research of Kaplan and Norton (1997), Hojabri et al (2013), and Manafi and Subramaniam (2015)).…”

Strategic guidance based on the concept of cleaner production to improve the ship recycling industry

“…On a production firm, the main focus of cleaner production is to reduce waste generation at its source and to reduce the consumption of raw materials, energy and other resources by optimizing both the products and the processes (Severo et al 2017). On the one hand, this results in producing goods with minimum environmental impact and reduced pollution (Nilson et al 2007), while on the other hand, it also helps in improving productivity, profitability and competitiveness of a firm (Dorfman et al 1993;Nilson et al 2007).…”

“…An incomprehensive literature survey finds several studies suggesting economic benefits of applying cleaner production to production companies in various countries such as Lithuania (Kliopova and Staniskis 2006), Slovenia (Petek and Glaviç 2000), Serbia (Dodić et al 2010), Australia (Van Berkel 2000b), Norway (Kjaerheim 2005), India (Unnikrishnan and Hegde 2007) and Brazil (Severo et al 2017). The questionnaire-based statistical analysis of 125 Chinese companies representing various industries (metal, heavy machinery, petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, paper, rubber and plastics) also showed a positive impact of cleaner production on the business performance of the companies (Zeng et al 2010).…”
