    The paper analyses the relationship between digitalisation and sustainability strategies at the firm level. In a first step, operational definitions of digitalisation and sustainability allowing the development of fitting empirical indicators are discussed. The possible technical and social transmission channels of the effects of digitalisation on a sustainable firm development are analysed. From a technical side of view, less energy consumption induced by intelligent sensoring systems or the reduction of meetings in presence by video conferences or the promotion of home office work leading to less travel activities might lead to a more sustainable production. Digitalisation might also act as pre-condition of eco-process innovations (e. g. the introduction of intelligent control systems leading to material and energy savings). From a societal perspective, digitalisation might lead to a higher availability of information on sustainability issues promoting a faster spread of environmentally related social norms. The empirical analysis is based on firm data of the recent Eurobarometer 486/2020 of the European Commission. The econometric results show that “digitally active” firms seem to be more sustainable for all available indicators. All considered digitalisation measures such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, or the use of smart devices and intelligent sensors are positively correlated to eco-innovation and other sustainability-related activities of the questioned firms. Der Artikel untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit auf Unternehmensebene. Digitalisierung kann sich sowohl über technische als auch gesellschaftliche Übertragungswege auf ein nachhaltiges Verhalten von Unternehmen auswirken. Aus technischer Sicht können z. B. intelligente Sensorsysteme, mehr Homeoffice oder Videokonferenzen zu einem geringeren Energieverbrauch und damit zu einer nachhaltigeren Produktionsweise führen. Auf der anderen Seite verbessert Digitalisierung die Verfügbarkeit von Informationen über Klimawandel und andere Umweltprobleme und kann dadurch zu einer schnelleren Verbreitung sozialer Umweltnormen führen. Die empirische Analyse stützt sich auf Eurobarometerdaten aus dem Jahre 2020. Die Ergebnisse der ökonometrischen Analyse zeigen, dass alle in der Erhebung betrachteten Digitalisierungsaktivitäten wie KI, maschinelles Lernen oder der Gebrauch intelligenter Geräte und Sensoren positiv mit einem nachhaltigen Verhalten der Unternehmen korreliert sind.

    Eco-innovations are crucial for the mitigation of climate change effects. It is therefore important to know if the existing climate change regulations and carbon pricing are appropriate and sufficient to trigger such innovations. Besides government measures, the demand for carbon neutral products or the impacts of climate change such as extreme weather conditions leading to higher costs for the affected firms may also promote eco-innovation activities. For the first time, the new wave of the Community Innovation Survey 2020 in Germany allows an analysis of the effects of climate change policy and costs, demand for climate friendly goods and extreme weather conditions on (eco-)innovation. The results of probit and treatment effect models show that innovative firms seem to be significantly more affected by climate change measures and consequences compared to other firms. All climate change indicators are positively correlated to eco-innovations. Interestingly, other innovation activities also profit from the extent to which a firm is affected by climate change albeit the marginal effects are lower compared to eco-innovations. Demand for climate neutral products is significantly important for all eco-product-innovations.

    This paper provides some of the first evidence of the relationship between eco-innovation and employment. Adopting a O*NET based task approach, in a study of the Dutch firms, we show that eco-innovation has no impact on overall employment. However, compared to non- eco-innovators there is an 18.2% increase in the number of green jobs (equivalent to 12 new green workers for the average firm). This means an average increase in the share of green workers of around 3.3%. Broadly speaking, the increase in the share of green jobs was driven by a reduction in non-green workers and a smaller but still significant increase in the number of green workers. We further show that subsidy-driven policies, rather than regulation-driven policies positively correlate with the number of green workers.

    Limiting global warming to no more than 2°C requires global large-scale deployment of low-carbon and negative emissions technologies. This requires the development of new eco-innovations and the diffusion of new and existing ones. Existing portfolios of environmental and technology policy instruments, however, may not be up to this task. In this paper, we develop an evaluative framework for the assessment of existing and new policy instruments for the successful development and deployment of eco-innovations. Our evaluative framework considers focus, scope, strictness, coherence and timing as key criteria for the evaluation of policy instruments for the transition to a low-carbon economy. We apply our framework to the residential and commercial (buildings) sector in an ambitious country, Austria.

    The role of eco-innovation as central element for reversal of environmental degradation resulting from anthropogenic action and for implementation of a sustainable development model has been reiterated by the literature and by international institutions and forums. Public policies encouraging investment in eco-innovations, such as tax incentives and environmental regulation, are increasingly important. The development and evaluation of such instruments, in turn, cannot do without the characterization of the performance of eco-innovation agents. However, the lack of statistics on eco-innovation is still a major obstacle. In this context, this work aims to characterize eco-innovation in companies in Brazil based on information available in the Innovation Survey, in patent applications documents, and in data from the companies concession of international certification. The results showed a worrisome scenario, in which a small number of economic activities stands out as eco-innovators and most of them registered worsening indicators in recent years.
