Implementing sustainability practices has become
a requirement to be able to operate in several markets since the
legal requirements are increasing and society (as well as
customers) values sustainability behaviors more.
The aims of this paper are (1) to analyze the impact that
drivers and barriers have on Environmental practices
implemented in the high performance manufacturing industries,
(2) to identify the relevant drivers and barriers for these
environmental practices, and finally, (3) to study the influence
that Environmental practices have on companies´ Financial
Performance.
To carry out our research, we shall consider a European
database of companies involved in the High Performance
Manufacturing project. Partial Least Squares (PLS) will be used
to test our hypotheses
