Özet

Innovative approaches and policies are being developed and implemented to solve the problems that arise as a result of capitalism, which threaten the nature and therefore human beings environmentally. The eco-innovation concept helps to change the consumption and production patterns by improving technology, products and services that reduce the environmental impact of people and businesses. Companies' eco-capabilities, eco-innovation determinants, collaborations and innovation strategies are important in the process of eco-innovation applied to create sustainable solutions by using resources at optimum level. In this study, the performance of firms in terms of environmental, economic and social sustainability will be evaluated in line with the factors that constitute eco-innovation. As a result of the analysis of the appropriate statistical analysis with the constructed structural equation modeling, the contributions to eco-innovation structures and sustainability of production enterprises operating in Kocaeli will be measured.
