[EN] Eco-innovation is actually a fashionable topic, and several researchers are working on
understanding the defining characteristics of firms that consider the environment as a
priority when innovating. To date most of these studies have been carried out on
manufacturing industries. This article investigates the similarities and differences
among service and manufacturing firms. An empirical analysis of a sample of 5509
Spanish companies shows that the variables affecting the eco-innovative orientation of
firms are quite similar. Results reveal that manufacturing firms have higher orientation
toward the environment than service firms. Furthermore, highly polarized positions in
environmental aspects can be found. Despite the limitations of the study, conclusions
may help public policy to encourage environmental proactivity in service industry and
innovation.
