This study provides an XGBoost model to characterize the environmental orientation of innovative firms. This novel approach, using state-of-the-art machine learning methodologies and multiple recognized drivers of eco-innovation, provides solid empirical support for the understanding of the mechanisms that are crucial for firms' transition to a low-carbon economy. Although many drivers have been considered to affect firms’ eco-innovation, our feature selection process using the BorutaShap algorithm demonstrates that few aspects are truly relevant. Furthermore, analyzing a tree surrogate of the final model, our study explores the different paths or combinations of aspects that consistently lead to a specific eco-innovation orientation. The accuracy of the model and the large and complete spectrum of innovative companies in the sample contribute to the generalizability of the results. This study is particularly relevant because the main drivers of firms’ eco-innovative orientation depend on their innovative behavior, indicating that the managerial and policy work has to be directed to raising awareness of the different externalities derived from innovation. On one side, policy regulations should continue to pressure firms with environmental standards. On the other side, managers can stimulate the creation of a corporate innovative culture oriented toward improving operational efficiency (reducing unnecessary costs), improving the workplace environment, and focusing on new customer demands, which, in essence, will guide the organization to be more environmentally and socially responsible.

This paper is encompassed in the process of the development of a theory about sustainability. Our aim is to present a case study protocol for performing multiple-case studies about corporate sustainability. It has been designed according to the methodology about case study research. It includes a combination of frameworks that will help researchers to draw and understand how sustainability is integrated through the value chain of the company, and it also has a set of questions that will help to know the environmental practices that the target company deploys from a strategic point of view to the most common operations. Finally, once all the information has been retrieved, it will be possible to identify the way that value generated by sustainability practices flows through the company’s activities and the way customers perceive it.

Literature about sustainability and sustainable businesses has become a large field of study during the last years. This field is growing so fast that there are sub-areas or bodies of literature within the sustainability which scopes with clear boundaries between each other. This has caused the apparition of several methodologies and tools for turning traditional companies into sustainable business models. This paper aims to develop the descriptive stage of the theory building process through a careful review of literature to create the first phase of a theory about corporate sustainability. It provides the following classification of concepts retrieved from the observation of the state of art: holistic sustainability, sustainable business models, sustainable methodologies, sustainable operations, and sustainability-oriented innovation. In addition, it seeks to establish relationships between the sustainable concepts and the expected outcomes that their implementation can generate among companies and organizations. Finally, it gives an overview of possibilities for managers that want to embed sustainability in their firms and clear paths of research for keeping the building of the theory about corporate sustainability as a process of constant iteration and improvement.

This chapter aims to compare the most common sustainable business models with the methodologies that have been designed in order for companies to embrace sustainability. The methodology deployed has been based on a state of art of the scientific literature about environmental methodologies and the analysis of successful sustainable business models. The results show that those methodologies are useful for improving specific areas or business units from organizations, but they don’t offer a holistic point of view for embedding sustainability among the business model. Currently, companies are concerned about environment and are trying to offer a value proposition based on sustainability. However, only a few companies are able to become sustainable in a successful way.
