Year: 2024
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: The global rise in industrial activity is leading to unprecedented environmental degradation. To combat this trend, industries must adopt a proactive approach toward environmental sustainability. Eco-innovation, defined as introducing new products, manufacturing processes, or management practices that reduce environmental risks, is essential in this effort. While general industry models for assessing eco-innovation maturity exist, there is a notable lack of such models tailored specifically for the food industry. This article aims to bridge this gap by contributing to the current understanding of eco-innovation maturity assessment indicators for food industries. We present findings from a systematic literature review conducted across three databases, covering publications from 2018 to June 2024. This research focused on identifying indicators suitable for evaluating eco-innovation maturity specifically within the food industry, as the existing models predominantly cater to general industries. The study concludes that assessing eco-innovation maturity in the food industry is feasible and proposes indicators for evaluating companies within this sector.
