“…[1,5] This is why administrators should seriously consider integrating environmental goals into their organization's general strategy. [43] Secondly, our findings underlined the need to engage all hospital staff in pro-environmental behavior and this point was in line with earlier studies. [24] Engaging nursing professionals is particularly crucial, as they have wide opportunities to minimize unnecessary consumption, and physicians, who can avoid unnecessary treatment days.…”

“…Staff and department leaders need to be well aware of their organization's environmental policy. [16,43] Also setting concrete targets was highly emphasized in our data. It is necessary at an organizational level, with regard to the environmental work and program, but also at the practical grass roots level where initiatives are put into practice.…”

“…One way of signaling the importance of staff's commitment to sustainability objectives, is to express them as early as during the recruitment stage. [43] It is clear that leadership and staff engagement are tightly linked together. [43] Our participants emphasized the importance of common discussions and agreements in hospital departments.…”

“…[43] It is clear that leadership and staff engagement are tightly linked together. [43] Our participants emphasized the importance of common discussions and agreements in hospital departments. Environmental faults and aims should be discussed as well as the other topics in patient care and the departments' leaders should play a central role in making this happen.…”

“…In addition to receiving education, people also need to be motivated to behave in an environmentally friendly way [14] by other approaches. [16] Administrators could, for example, give work communities feedback on their performance [29] and reward their success financially [43,47] and publicly. Also, a sense of community motivates people to act pro-environmentally, [48] particularly if it benefits their private life.…”

Power of sustainable development: Does environmental management system certification affect a firm's access to finance?

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although prior research generated inconclusive findings between a firm's environmental management system and firm financial performance, attention to resolve this inconsistency by examining the internal channels is limited. Thus, this study focuses on a firm's access to finance and investigates whether a firm's environmental management system certification (EMS) leads to better access to finance. Based on the organizational legitimacy perspective, we hypothesize that this certification will benefit a firm with stakeholder approval and support and consequently alleviate its financial capital constraints. We further posit that the proposed relationship will be moderated by three types of legitimacy environments pertaining to how stakeholders and investors make the judgment on the environmental management system certification. We document that the proposed relationship, that is, the positive relationship between environmental management system certification and access to finance, will be stronger when the government attaches larger importance to environmental protection (regulative legitimacy), better environmental record (moral legitimacy), and better financial position (pragmatic legitimacy). Empirical analyses provide strong corroborating evidence for our predictions. These findings have important theoretical and managerial implications that are well discussed in this study.

The competition between private label and national brand through the signal of Euro‐leaf

2023

The current study aims to determine the effect on consumer behaviour when an ecological signal, such as an eco‐label, is provided on various food packaging. In particular, this work aims to understand the strategic role of the eco‐label as a brand equity by introducing a new theoretical model of eco‐brand equity from a consumer perspective. Through a sample of 1.075 Italian consumers, their behaviour and preferences are modelled for 10 types of food using the presence of the brand and the private label with and without the eco‐label as control conditions. In particular, the eco‐label reflects some specific attributes of a brand, for example, loyalty, quality, reputation and association, demonstrating its brand equity. The findings support the hypothesis that the eco‐label has a brand value capable of reducing information asymmetries, increasing confidence and credibility in the agri‐food market. From a theoretical perspective, this research identifies the eco‐label as extrinsic signals able to affect consumers' behaviour. Moreover, the findings of this study present practical implications supporting the process towards more sustainable systems in the food sector.
