“…Los problemas ambientales causados por el cambio climático, junto con el creciente interés y presión de las diferentes partes interesadas para el desarrollo de productos sostenibles con el medio ambiente está generado desafíos y oportunidades para que las empresas, que comienzan a considerar las estrategias ambientales basadas en eco-innovaciones como un instrumento eficaz para lograr simultáneamente los objetivos de crecimiento económico y respeto ambiental (Moyano-Fuentes et al, 2019;Carchano et al, 2023). Tradicionalmente, este tipo de estrategias han sido vistas por los gerentes como costosas, sin embargo, se ha demostrado que no solo ayudan a las empresas a paliar su impacto ambiental, sino que también colaboran en la mejora de su posición competitiva (Markovic y Bagherzadeh, 2018).…”

The value of proactive environmental strategies to achieve and maintain competitive advantages in the business sphere has been widely acknowledged in recent years. However, mixed results can still be found regarding the determinants and consequences of the implementation of such practices. This study investigates the determinants of environmental proactivity in Spanish wineries, focusing on the role of company size in linking internal motivations and stakeholder pressure with proactive environmental strategy using the natural resource‐based view. So far, no research of this type has been carried out for the Spanish wine sector. A structural equation model is proposed based on partial least squares applied to a sample of 251 wine companies to evaluate both the direct relationships and the moderating effect. The study identifies internal motivations, community pressure, and regulatory pressure as determinants of proactive environmental strategy. Company characteristics play an essential role in decision‐making when dealing with environmental issues proactively. Small companies tend to be more influenced by internal motivations, while larger companies are driven to undertake environmental actions based on external pressures. Additionally, we found that managers who take a proactive approach to environmental protection can achieve financial rewards. These findings provide important implications for both policymakers and managers by offering new theoretical and empirical insight into how proactive environmental strategy affects financial performance in the case of Spain's wine companies.

This study aims to explore the influence of Wine Tourism (WT) on the Sustainable Performance (SP) of wineries in Spain. It particularly investigates how Corporate Social Legitimacy (CSL) and Green Innovation (GI) may act as intermediary factors in this relationship. Additionally, the research considers the age of the winery, its size, and whether it is part of a protected designation of origin as control variables to enhance the accuracy of the identified cause‐and‐effect relationships. This research introduces a theoretical framework, grounded in prior literature, and examines it through structural equation modeling. The analysis is based on data gathered from 196 wineries in Spain, collected over the period from September 2022 to January 2023. The results of this study highlight a notable and positive correlation between the advancement of WT and the SP of wineries in Spain. Additionally, the study uncovers that CSL and GI play a partially mediating role in this connection. The uniqueness and significance of this study can be attributed to several crucial factors. First, it enhances the understanding and knowledge regarding the advantages associated with WT development. Second, no prior research has conducted a comprehensive study on the WT development as a catalyst for economic, social, and environmental outcomes within the context of Spanish wineries. Third, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no previous study has simultaneously analyzed the mediating role of CSL and GI as mediators in the relationship between WT development and the SP of wineries.
