Why is it important?
This article is pioneering in the analysis of drivers of corporate proactive environmental strategies in the consultancy sector. The findings have practical implications for policy-makers, investors and other agents interested in a better management of the environment.
Perspectives
I think that some findings with regard to stakeholder behavour are interesting. The article notes that the same stakeholder group could exert opposite pressures on different dimensions of environmental proactivity. It also underlined that, even considering the same dimension of environmental proactivity, opposite pressures could be exerted by different stakeholder groups.
