“…On the other hand, Dalhstrom et al (2003) claim that neither ISO 14001 nor EMAS environmental management standards managed to improve law observance among the surveyed organizations. Potoski and Prakash (2005) as well as Dasgupta et al (2000) arrived at opposite conclusions when surveying businesses in Mexico and US; they decided that businesses undergoing third-party audits and enjoying compliance certificates (e.g. ISO 14001) better adhered to the natural environment-related law.…”

This paper analyzes strategic implications of corporate responsibility (CR) and in particular how a firm can differentiate with an environmentally responsible image. A single case study was conducted in the Nordic hospitality industry with semi‐structured interviews as the main data collection method.By adopting an environmentally responsible identity through shared values with the firm's key stakeholders, the firm can reflect an environmentally responsible image. This image can enhance the firm's strategic position through internal and external differentiators from competitors – as the firm becomes a more preferred employer, partner and supplier, it results in enhanced employee motivation, cost savings, better reputation, and greater guest loyalty. The amount of CR depends on the micro/meso/macro/global‐level drivers, and competitive aims of the firm. The emphasis on stakeholder communication becomes greater as the firm increases its CR‐aggressiveness. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

“…An industry-based distribution of ISO14001 certifications is presented in Table- Anton et al, 2004;Comoglio and Botta, 2012;Ilomaki and Melanen, 2001;Melnyk et al, 2003;Morrow and Rondinelli, 2002). Important internal drivers were found to relate mainly to an improved corporate image, marketing advantages or improved relations with stakeholders (Hillary, 2004;Poksinska et al, 2002;Potoski and Prakash, 2005;Zorpas, 2010). For larger firms such as the S&P 500 companies studied by Anton et al…”

There is a particular void of academic work in relation to ISO certification in India and the country's large number of small and medium enterprises; a field of inquiry this paper seeks to advance. Specifically, as a means of providing a basis for classification of firms for an analysis of the state of ISO14001 in India we test the adequacy of critical factors such as nature of business, size, year of establishment and internationalisation among small and medium enterprises and industry best companies. An analysis is presented of secondary data derived from the websites of a sample of ISO14001 certified firms located in the cities of Delhi and Noida. The data show that in the area of manufacturing the highest number of ISO14001 certifications can be recorded and that established small and medium enterprises with high turnover are more likely to adopt ISO14001 certification compared to low turnover firms. The findings inform the status of environmental management systems in India and have implications for government policy intended to foster ISO14001 uptake by Indian firms.Keywords: Environmental Management System, ISO14001, Developing Nations, Environmental P...

“…Because the longest-running applications of IR have been in environmental management, many of the empirical studies of the IR's effectiveness examine firms' environmental practices (Esty 2004, Stephan 2002, Potoski & Prakash 2005, Renshaw 2006, Tietenberg & Wheeler 2001, Dranove & Ginger 2010. These studies generally conclude that both mandatory and voluntary public disclosure of information have triggered positive changes in corporate behaviour through a variety of mechanisms.…”

Using Information Regulation to Enhance Workplace Diversity, Inclusion, and Fairness

In the U.S., traditional means of promoting improved employment practices -such as public regulation, union pressure, litigation, and long-term employment relationships -have weakened, increasing the power imbalance between employers and their workers and contributing to increased economic inequality in American society. Management theory and empirical evidence suggest that "information regulation" (IR) can significantly affect employer behaviour and contribute to countering these trends. This paper explores development of a large-scale "data utility" in which objective information on the employment practices and employment outcomes of individual employers are collected, curated, made accessible on-line, and actively marketed to a range of stakeholders. The goal is to muster information to empower these stakeholders -from individual workers and their advocates to employers' key business partners -to reward good employer behaviour and sanction bad behaviour, thereby moving employers toward "high road" practices concerning, among other things, workplace diversity, inclusion, and fairness.
