Environmental leaders: making a difference. A typology of environmental leaders and recommendations for a differentiated policy approach
基于荷兰的探索性研究，发现环境领导者并非同质群体，而是因激励和障碍不同而存在差异，据此提出类型学及差异化政策建议。
Abstract In the literature, environmental leaders are often implicitly considered as a homogeneous group of companies. In addition, this proposition underlies much public policymaking that is aimed at supporting companies that go green'. A recent exploratory study conducted in the Netherlands however revealed that environmental leaders are often rather heterogeneous – even if they operate in the same sector. Differences are particularly related to incentives for and barriers to environmental leadership. In this paper we develop a typology of environmental leaders and provide recommendations for a differentiated and more effective public policy approach to supporting environmental leaders.
