Abstract

Our study compares the effects of substantive implementation and symbolic implementation of ISO 14001 standard on realised benefits with the certification. Specifically, we compare and contrast firms’ benefits - in terms of environmental, economic, and marketing - emanating from these two modes of implementation of ISO 14001 certification. Our findings showed that substantive implementation has wider and stronger effects on benefits of ISO 14001 adoption than symbolic implementation.
