WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY: AN INDUCTIVE TYPOLOGY OF THE RESEARCH

Résumé

Environmental performance is a multidimensional concept that is difficult to measure since it concerns either the pollution generated by companies, their energy consumption and their different environmental policies. Academic research has used objective and/or non-objective indicators to measure this performance, dealing with both its managerial and measurement dimensions. This paper provides an inductive typology of the academic work concerning environmental policy through a computerized content analysis of 151 articles from 1992 to 2014 related to the management and measurement of environmental performance. The results highlight four major themes around which the academic research is organized: the relationship between environmental and financial performance, environmental performance under stakeholder engagement and institutional pressures, the strategic management of environmental performance, and increasing awareness of the sustainable development issue. Environmental performance research has evolved from a quantitative towards a more managerial dimension, highlighting the integration of performance within the management of a corporate business strategy.
