Eco-innovation Activities and its Disclosures on Sustainability Reports: An Exploratory Study with two Samples of Industrial European Companies /Antonio Pedro Martins Vieira. - 1 electronic resource (150 pages)

Nowadays two trends correlated with the environment are being addressed by organizations: eco-innovation and sustainability reporting. Eco-innovation is a strategy to tackle both environmental and economic challenges, acting as a catalyst to foster sustainable economic development and green growth. In fact, as eco-innovation is recognized to be a valuable resource to achieve the objectives of Europe 2020 and to foster Europe's economy to become more competitive and resilient, the EU is promoting eco-innovation with specific plans such as the EcoAP.Sustainability reporting is another trend, where companies are able to provide disclosures on their economic, environmental and social performance to the public and stakeholders, reaping benefits such as enhancement of corporate reputation.These thesis aims to evaluate if some specific companies provide disclosures on ecoinnovations, through a qualitative analysis to sustainability reports of two samples of industrial European companies. The results suggest that the selected companies are disclosing the environmental benefits achieved due to the application of eco-innovative activities, but there is a general absence of the term "eco-innovation" associated to these accomplishments in their reports. However, the explanations for the improvements are present in some cases, and an indirect type of eco-innovation may be identified, from which it's possible to categorize eco-process, product and eco-organizational innovations. The results indicate that the disclosure of "eco-innovation" term is more present in companies' website than in their respective reports. Findings also seem to point in the direction that R&D expenditure is related with the promotion of eco-innovation.
