Introduction
In recent years, concern for the environment has increased for a number of reasons. Firstly, as a result of the important negative environmental impacts that company products and processes are producing (Azzone & Noci, 1998). Secondly, due to the pressure that society is exerting on its institutions to address environmental issues (Murphy & Poist, 2003), which translates as new legal demands (for example, European Union laws require manufacturers to collect and reuse many types of products). Thirdly, managers appreciate the benefits to their company image of adopting environmentally concerned programs (van Hoek, 1999). Lastly, consumers have changed their preferences, which are transferred the entire value chain (Lampe & Gazda, 1995), modifying the responsibilities of suppliers and manufacturers with regards to the products they place on the market (Bloemhof-Ruwaard et al., 1995).
