Green Not (only) for Profit: An Empirical Examination of the Effect of Environmental-Related Standards on Employees’ Recruitment

Publication year: 2011 Source: Resource and Energy Economics, Available online 7 October 2011 Gilles Grolleau, Naoufel Mzoughi, Sanja Pekovic Thanks to an original database on French firms we investigate the impact of environmental-related standards on employees’ recruitment. Using a bivariate probit model, we show that voluntary environmental-related standards (i.e., ISO 14001 standard, organic labeling, fair trade, etc.) improve the recruitment of professional and non-professional employees. This finding suggests that, beyond environmental considerations, human resources management can drive registration.The authors are grateful to Céline Bignebat, Magali Delmas, Douadia Bougherara, Oana Calavreso, Akira Hibiki, Nick Johnstone, Laura McCann and participants to the 4th International Conference on Quality Standards, Environmental Standards and High Performance Workplace Practices, Paris, August 27-28, 2009 for their useful comments.
