Abstract
his research adds novel insights on the amount of different kinds of environmental-oriented CSR practices implemented in SMEs. This was done by looking at whether the sector tangibility, country of origin, type of financial support, type of market served and the SME size influence the amount of different kinds of environmental-oriented CSR practices implemented in SMEs. The SME size was analyzed as a moderator.
A quantitative research was carried out and the Flash Eurobarometer 456 of the European Commission was used. The results of the regression analyses showed that the sector tangibility, country of origin, type of financial support and the type of market served significantly influence the amount of different kinds of environmental-oriented CSR practices implemented in SMEs. Additionally, this research showed that the SME size only partly moderates the relationship between the type of market served and the amount of different kinds of environmental-oriented CSR practices implemented in SMEs. Furthermore, the SME size was not found to be a significant moderator for the relationship between the sector tangibility, country of origin and type of financial support and the amount of different kinds of environmental-oriented CSR practices implemented in SMEs.
