Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates how environmental certifications—specifically, formal environmental management systems (EMSs) (ISO 14001, EMAS), and consumer‐facing eco‐labels—influence firm financial performance. Using a dual approach that includes a bibliometric review and a systematic analysis of key studies, we identify key trends, theoretical ...
