Abstract
Due to the significant impact of economic and industrial activities on the environment, enterprises play a crucial role in the reduction of negative environmental externalities. However, some of the most fundamental EU instruments regarding the environmental regulation of enterprises (the industrial emissions directive, the Eco Management and Audit Scheme, and the extended producer responsibility) are either non binding, voluntary, or slack. Yet, considering the increasing preoccupation of both clients and shareholders towards environmental protection, companies incorporating “green” fundamentals in their operations, notably during the industrial processes, could benefit from a major competitive advantage. With its European Green Deal, and especially with its Circular Economy Action Plan, the EU is promoting such a “regenerative growth model”, which would allow for the reduction of pressures on natural resources while strengthening the EU’s industrial base, stimulating business creation, and thus creating sustainable growth and jobs.
