Environmental Standards and Labor Productivity

چکیده
In the last decade, a rising number of firms have adopted international environmental management and product standards such as the international ISO 14001 management standard or organic certification. While emerging research analyzes the impact of these practices on environmental performance or financial performance, there is, to our knowledge no empirical research on the effect of these standards on employees’ productivity. In this paper we investigate the relationship between environmental standards and labor productivity. Our empirical results based on a French employer-employee database with 11,256 observations reveals a significant and positive relationship between the adoption of environmental standards and labor productivity.
