“…Both imply that a company voluntarily implements a structured management system consisting of a number of stages that define organizational policies, procedures and practices related to environmental issues (Hillary, 2004), leading eventually to an environmental certification (Black and Crabtree, 2007). The motivation for organizations to meet environmental standards can be twofold: (i) to positively react to demand and pressures from different stakeholders concerned with ecological issues (Demirel and Kesidou, 2011;Xuan-Quynh et al, 2014); and (ii) to obtain a competitive advantage as a result of implementing EMS (Blanco et al, 2009;Mariani, Czakon et al, 2016;Nishitani et al, 2012).…”

Purpose-This study examines residents' perceptions of environmental impacts and certification for the Milan World Expo 2015 as well as their overall attitude towards the mega event. Design/methodology/approach-A survey of Milan residents based on a convenience sample of residents in Milan led to 221 useable questionnaires. Findings-Residents perceived that the Expo will have minimal negative and positive environmental impacts. A minority of residents were aware of the environmental certification of the event. The less agreeable residents were with the perceived negative environmental impacts of the event, the more agreeable they were that a certification of event sustainability should limit the damage to the natural environment. Residents' perceptions of the certification were positively related to their overall attitude towards the event. Research limitations/implications-The findings cannot be generalized to other mega events but have several managerial implications in relation to the need for information provision to residents and better communication of the certification by event organizers and planners. Originality/value-Despite rising concerns about environmental issues related to hosting mega events, there is no research on perceptions of a certification of event sustainability by residents.

Investments in renewable energy sources are an important direction in the development of modern economies. Motivating organizations to include appropriate investments in their development strategies becomes an essential issue. It seems clear that organizations need to see the long-term benefits of such investments in order to follow this trend. This article presents a thesis that assumes that from the microeconomic perspective, such investments are conducive to the implementation of various goals of the organization, causing the phenomenon of resonance in spheres such as the implementation of the sustainable development strategy, the level of innovation in the organization, brand image, and brand equity. The survey method was carried out on a sample of 143 industrial companies in the food industry in order to verify the hypotheses based on previous examples. Among the most important findings, it should be noted that investments in renewable energy sources make a significant contribution to building the market position of enterprises, in particular, to the level of innovation, creating value in a sustainable enterprise, and achieving goals in the area of creating a positive brand image and brand equity. The findings show that investing in renewable energy is compatible with the organization’s different goals.

This article aims to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility, trust, and sustainable business strategies on the diffusion of innovative solutions in renewable energy sources. In this context, the material from the edition of the reports of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development on innovation in the renewable energy industry was analyzed. A survey was also conducted among enterprises from the SME sector on the creation of a business model taking into account the diffusion of innovation in the field of renewable energy sources. The SME sector consists of entities that usually do not have an extensive organizational structure or research and development teams. Nevertheless, in the current economic situation, it is required that they are highly competitive, including through implemented innovations. Conscious participation of SME entities in the process of diffusion of innovation may be a solution that brings innovative solutions closer. The author stated that social responsibility had a moderate impact on the diffusion of innovation in the field of renewable energy in the SME sector, as it contributed the most to building trust in uncertain energy sources. On the other hand, the study conducted by the author showed that greater experience in the field of social responsibility (the company has a CSR department, there is a person responsible for CSR in the company, the company has a CSR policy, the company has a Code of Ethics, social reports are prepared in the company) had a positive relationship with building trust and commitment to innovative activities related to renewable energy sources. Conscious participation of SME entities in the process of diffusion of innovation may be a solution that approximates innovative solutions.
