      abstract = {Is the reduction in the environmental impact of firm’s  activities to the detriment of their business performance?  This is not always the case when we take into account  the
productivity gains linked to the environmental  innovations. A series of works combining theoretical  argument, case
studies and empirical analysis from survey  data were mobilized to find out whether innovating may  prove to be profitable for the firm to answer environmental  constraints.
In identifying the circumstances and  mechanisms involved results suggest that if environmental  policies favour innovation, they are generally expensive  for the firms
subject to it.},
