Abstract

The ISO 14006 standard eco-design or eco-design was created in 2011 to complement the successful ISO 14001 environmental management standard. There are a lot of references in the literature to analyze the process of adoption of ISO 14001; however, the eco-design standard has not received much attention. In this regard, in order to contribute to alleviate this deficiency, the aim of this article is to make an exploratory analysis on the process of adoption and integration of ISO 14006 in Management-Environmental Spanish cooperative enterprises that have pioneered do it statewide. After analysis of the main reasons that led companies to adopt the standard ISO 14006, research has focused on analyzing the impact of the adoption, both operationally and in terms of outcomes, in enterprises. In all, they are drawn a number of conclusions that are expected to be of interest both for companies and for other stakeholders, such as public decision makers who aim to establish policies aimed at improving efficiency in environmental management and resources.
