| Abstract: | The examination of the possible direct link between environmental protection and firm performance in the literature has generally produced mixed results. The present paper contributes to the literature by using the resource-based view as a mediating process in this relationship. It is tests whether or not the resource-based view of the firm mediates the positive relationships of proactive environmental management and improved environmental performance with competitive advantage, which also has consequences for financial performance and checked the possible link between the adoption of a pioneering approach and good environmental management practices. It is found: 1)early investment timing and intensity in environmental issues impact on the adoption of a proactive environmental management, which in turn helps to improve environmental performance. 2)a firm's resources and competitive advantage act as mediator variables for a positive relationship between environmental protection and financial performance. |
