Abstract

The growing concern among consumers for more environmentally friendly products is forcing companies to align their strategies accordingly. In recent years, eco‐innovation has emerged as a key business strategy to address these new expectations. Considering the significance of the olive oil sector in Spain, this study seeks to evaluate the extent to which eco‐innovations have been adopted in the primary processing segment of the olive oil sector. To this end, a CAWI survey with CATI follow‐up was conducted among olive oil mills in the autonomous region of Andalusia. The final sample consisted of 164 cases, drawn from a population of 800. The findings indicate that the level of eco‐innovation in the olive oil industry is low. Furthermore, the results enabled the categorization of olive oil mills into four groups based on their environmental actions: (1) environmentally responsible mills, (2) eco‐innovative mills, (3) passive mills, and (4) footprint mills. These results have implications for academia, businesses, and institutions alike.

橄榄油行业采用生态创新：可持续性分析

消费者越来越关注更环保的产品，这迫使企业相应地调整自己的战略。近年来，生态创新已成为满足这些新期望的关键商业战略。考虑到西班牙橄榄油行业的重要性，本研究旨在评估在橄榄油行业初级加工环节采用生态创新的程度。为此，在安达卢西亚自治区的橄榄油厂中进行了CAWI调查，并进行了CATI跟踪。最终的样本包括164个病例，来自800名人口。研究结果表明，橄榄油行业的生态创新水平较低。此外，研究结果使橄榄油工厂能够根据其环境行动分为四组：(1)环境责任工厂，(2)生态创新工厂，(3)被动工厂和(4)足迹工厂。这些结果对学术界、企业和机构都有影响。

It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business.
