Abstract
The study examines the influence of regulatory pressure and financial and economic green interests on the adoption of sustainable process technologies. A specific measurement for the regulatory pressure is the Wet Milieubeheer. The specific influence of the Wet Milieubeheer has not been studied yet. This research shows that regulatory pressure is very important for the adoption of sustainable process technologies. The Wet Milieubeheer turns out to be a good example of regulatory pressure. Most companies are aware of the obligations resulting from this regulation and also want to fulfill these obligations for several reasons. Financial and economic green interest do not have a significant effect on the adoption of sustainable process technologies. The most common reasons for investing in sustainable process technologies are saving costs or a better competitive position. Financial and economic green interest partially affect the influence of awareness of laws and regulation on the adoption of sustainable technology, but do not affect the influence of policy enforcement on the adoption of sustainable process technologies.
